    Government doesn't have the will to quell drugs from society. Simple..

    I left ireland in 2011 to New Zealand due to the economic crisis, back then there was little to nothing cocaine issues in my local town of Drogheda. I returned in 2022 and its madness. Everyone is on the gear.
  • Fighting the supply side is a failure. Without reducing demand, supply will always be there.

    All my friends were doing coke, thankfully I never wanted to partake, I'm so thankful now. They need to educate the young when they are very young.

    Problem is when young people think taking it is normal and everyday use. That gets in their head but like that you want have families and continue normal life.

    This is a massive problem all across western nations currently. Worse than it has ever been. It will contribute to our eventual collapse, so I think we all need to see it in this context, either as a user or in a position of power. Western civilization is under attack, it could fall and this is just part of what is driving this situation.

    Something does not make sense..if Ireland is so full of drugs then why are they so expensive and low quality🤔

    That’s because we don’t have a navy capable of intercepting ships.because the criminals are smart and are using planes and submarines. We do have a very big cocaine problem here. I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist and it’s one of the things I treat a lot when everyone comes to me with addiction. I assumed it would be alcohol but a lot of my clients would be presenting with but it’s not it’s coke usage.
