have they considered making the punishment harsher? thus solving the problem once and for all
It’s amazing how opiate addicts have been at the centre of centuries of geopolitics. Just to give light to more recent examples, in order to keep the peace after invading Afghanistan poppy growth was somewhat overlooked leading to floods of white heroin in the US and Europe, and now that the Taliban are back supply is being constrained again leading to this shite.
It’s a bit of pity there isn’t a broader campaign for medicinal heroin control, addicts would probably be better off having a doctor administer state controlled heroin which I think is what happened after WWI in the UK because there were so many addicts after the war.
>Between 1916 and 1928 concerns about the use of these drugs by troops on leave from the First World War and then by people associated with the London criminal society gave rise to some controls being implemented.[1] The distribution and use of morphine and cocaine, and later cannabis, were criminalised, but these drugs were available to addicts through doctors; this arrangement became known as the “British system” and was confirmed by the report of the Departmental Committee on Morphine and Heroin Addiction (Rolleston Committee) in 1926.[1] The Rolleston Report was followed by “a period of nearly forty years of tranquillity in Britain, known as the Rolleston Era. During this period the medical profession regulated the distribution of licit opioid supplies and the provisions of the Dangerous Drugs Acts of 1920 and 1923 controlled illicit supplies.”[2] The medical treatment of dependent drug users was separated from the punishment of unregulated use and supply. This policy on drugs was maintained in Britain, and nowhere else, until the 1960s. Under this policy drug use remained low; there was relatively little recreational use and few dependent users, who were prescribed drugs by their doctors as part of their treatment.[1]
I’ve been prepping for increased fentanyl use for a year now.
The trick is to start off microdosing.
Noooo nonononono we’re too focus on stoners! They are the most dangerous criminals around!
I was just reading another article on the journal, 13 overdoses in Dublin this morning. Sounds like we needed to be ready, already.
Just wait till it gets into the cocaine supply
They will be picking bodies up off the streets if it’s any thing like the way it hit the USA and Canada.
What I think of Fentanyl
Down with this sort of thing
Really need the kinahans to step up and save the day
Rodriguez Duerte for Mayor.
Is there any evidence that Fentanyl is here in Ireland?
Cannabis & Friends is a shitty tag for all the drug stuff
The courts will only give importers a little slap on the wrist so we could start by changing the law.
The surest way to prevent deaths would be to have the government provide the drug.
The Journal can’t wait for fentanyl to arrive the miserable fucking cunts
“Duffin said there is already “great collaboration” between groups like Ana Liffey and the HSE, An Garda Síochána and the Probation Service, “but there’s always more that can be done”.”
“Ireland ‘needs to be ready'”
Who exactly are they talking too? Who exactly needs to be ready? What exactly does ready mean? Were they not ready before now? Was there a truce on the “war on drugs?” IDK, seems like the “war on drugs” gang have “great collaboration”. Sounds like its all going great.
How about we further strengthen the Misuse of Drugs Act, give even more power to the Garda and throw more tax payers money at the problem. Surely what has not worked before will work this time?
I expect victory over the “war on drugs” will be announced any day now.
Let me see, it started in 1971 and its now 2023, so 52 years?
Well at least there’s less drugs on the streets now than in 1971, right? I mean, something is better right?
We have such great leaders in this country we never stop making progress. So much progress.
