Here's a place a lot may not be aware of. Worth checking out.

"All I’d say is this: once the head shops are gone, who benefits?"

The Publicans – I'd say they have had a bigger influence in this decision then that tool Joe Duffy…..

The publicans dont like the idea of people getting stoned at home and buying their much cheaper alcohol from the supermarkets/off licences.

Long live the black Market – we'd be fucked without it……

The best chance to put a big squeeze on the drug dealers. Not to mention the income for the government and the tourist industry.

Steve — I think this has created a bizarre situation. The government and the drug dealers are in agreement, though their methods are different. The government will close the head shops by legislation while the drug dealers have already taken more direct action by burning them.

All I'd say is this: once the head shops are gone, who benefits?

I think the post is either tongue in cheek, or you really believe that banning head shops or their products is going to benefit the illegal drug trade.
Although I am leaning toward the former, I'm not sure, and I don't want to bark up the wrong tree. As I'm sure maby here are painfully aware, I tend to write long rambling posts and before I do, I'd rather be sure I'm not coming across as a muppet who missed the point.

Pre-emptive snark defence: Yes, I do come across as a muppet anyway from time to time ;)

Maybe my tongue-in-cheek detector is broken, or is this post actually serious?
Need to know before I say anything further.

The Joe Duffy syndrome strikes again. How is this law going to be effective. Cant the chemists who make the drugs just tweak the chemical formula a wee bit and the new product is legal?

Bloody NADD, another bloody quango! I gues the lost revenue in from issuing haulage licences is more important factor than first thought in these times of recession. Apparently Fianna Fail have decided to go with a grass roots economy after all.
