The blarney stoner
No doubt a recent Irish happymeal passport holder
We could make it a real tourist attraction. Not just the gift of the gab.
First bit looks like Ireland.
Looks more like a dangleberry.. Who would want to smoke this shit?!
Let he who has never been stoned cast the first stone
It’s Mostly Maui Waui man, but it’s got some Labrador in it.
Wouldn’t have a clue where to start looking for hash these days, thank God. Who wants it with the quality of the green available?
People are also making their own hash using bubble bags and iced water, lovely stuff too. And Journal, why add a cigarette to the photo? It’s a lot less harmful and a lot more enjoyable if mixed with a bit of green in a pipe or bong, I don’t think we should be encouraging the use of tobacco.
I know it’s bad but I prefer it mixed with tobacco. Different buzz to just pure green. I like a hit from a bong now and then but it’s joints all the way for the most part. Conditioned, man.
I prefer green any day but at €450 & upwards per oz, it’s a rare treat.. the filthy brown is filthy but still gets the job done for a far more economical €100..
… also the Garda abacus seems to be bollixed again..
By my calculation, their €250k figure works out at €165/oz.
Nope..
The guards would probably seize €250,000 worth of drugs if they dragnetted the boardwalk, Abbey St and O’Connell St at 10am on a weekday morning.
Every weekday morning.
That’s some small bit for that price .!!!
The cigarette in the picture is 23 miles long. The whole shot is of Finn McCool’s shoulder (nice new Combat Jacket Finn!
Is it the garda press office that keep on dripping out these drug stories every day?
call me cynical but look like the gards are intentionally staggering their seizure operations to make sure it makes the news…yaaay another bit of grass off the streets..the gardai arent that bad afterall
That photo actually looks like dog pooh before you click into the article.
Piqued your interest did it?!
As Garda Gerry Boyle would say “You feckers always exaggerate”. I’ll bet they weighed the entire plants (if they even bothered to weigh them) and based the price on total weight. Never mind that only the dry bud has any value (about 5% of the total weight) so it’s probably worth a lot less.
The Blarney Rastafarian community are said to be devastated.
€170 an ounce these days?
Dirty ol muck
When i first seen the picture i thought it was really bad imported weed but then i read it was hash and i thought wtf i never seen hash like that before in ireland only soapbar,pollen and slate and it sure didn’t look like anything like that it kind of looks like ice o later hash or the stuff i seen in a documentary about hash making in the riff mountains in morroco
That pic looks like they only found the makings of a j ha
