Have to admit. Some very real major busts of late.. Some info must be getting passed to the right sources. Some very real Garda work too. Well done lads. Hitting them where it hurts. The pocket and their paranoid heads..
@Clever Jake: back on the meds please
@Clever Jake: no, intelligent people do not want heroin legalized. Not at all and most people, myself included that deal with drug users can see the damage it causes.
But then, when someone uses a youtube clip as evidence, I don’t expect reasonable debate.
Great work by the Gardai!
It’s such a pity they got get the proper support from the judiciary!!
@MyBrokenKnees: got get? You high
@Noel James Doherty: that marijuana stuff up to no good again
Haha drop in the ocean, someome mentioned a drought on here the other day, there hasnt been a weed drought in dublin in 15 years. Thankfully!
@POS51: keep killing the brain cells and maybe catching lung cancer.
@Mary Loony Mc Donald: Just cook with it or vape and don’t be worrying about cancer, Mary.
@Mary Loony Mc Donald: stick to the highly addictive and nationally abused alcohol ‘Mary’ which causes countless deaths across the country annually while being one of the primary causes for packed A&E departments every weekend, causes untold public damage and police work and over time, fills our courts with drunk and disorderly and assault cases, car crashes and vehicles related deaths and domestic violence. Not to mind the ill health effects of thousands of abusers with liver damage, cancer and related heart problems. Ignorance and hypocrisy is staggering regarding alcohol in this country with nothing but tired old lies and misinformation regarding cannabis use. At least the rest of the world is slowly breaking free of dogma and vested interests and reaping the rewards.
@Derek: relax the kacks. Life is both addictive and fatal however u choose to live it. Enjoy the ride
@Mary Loony Mc Donald: If you drink alcohol, you do both, and worse than marijuana. Alcohol was created by man. Weed was here long before we were.
@Presuming Ed: I heart vaping. Haven’t done edibles in ages though. Next level stuff.
@Mary Loony Mc Donald: that’s cigarettes and alcohol mary , it’s no wonder you’re a loony
@Chamillionaire: 5.5 million deaths per year globally from cigarettes. Same as the holocaust only annually.
@Chamillionaire: so smoking weed doesn’t cause lung cancer..inhaling smoke is good for you..where did we hear that before..
@Mary Loony Mc Donald: you got any scientific proof of this ??
So a €50 bags worth was found so
They never disclose the weight value of the seizures anymore, it’s only ever the monetary value, I think this is so we can’t work out if they’re fabricating the value!
maybe I’m just cynical……
@Tony Maguire: weights are disclosed at trial.
@Tony Maguire: I know nothing about it, but when they did give weights, people were doing a price comparison!
Be a lot of cops buying munchies tonight
Delighted
They busted some weed. Yawn. Decriminalise it at least and let people buy it if they want.
I’m just glad this filth didn’t hit the streets.
I know a lad took two hashes before and became psychotic.
Jaysus the Monks must be ratting on the Kinehans of lately. There’s been an uncanny number of freak drug busts recently.
This looks like a funny strain , maybe the gardaí should send some to my lab for testing , just so we know what we’re dealing with here .
@Chamillionaire: I’ll give ya a second opinion!
Wonder if the driver of the delivery truck gave up the depot he was working out of!
Regardless of the merits to legalizing, this seizure hurts major criminals who can and do a lot of harm to this country
I’m thinking Super Grass here !
Garda shot during a drug raid in ballymun, yeah to notch members of society those drug dealers
have your say
