Those Head Shops have a certain product, who's name eludes me, but the active ingredient is some sort of a cattle hormone. Go ahead, if that's your thing

they should be shut down immediately. I heard of two cases where two 14 year olds purchased from these local shops and both were in intensive care within hours.

I wasnt aware that there are 4 shops open. I know Myth and Magic, Irishtown; Eclipse, Irishtown; and ESP, O Connell St; are all operating.

Is the one down Lloyds lane still open? are there any others?

do these shops open regular hours or what way do they operate. I hear some shops operate a 'delivery service'.

Who is to tell how old/young their customers are?

Time we did what they are doing in ROscommon

It was, and still is, called 'Paki Black', lethal stuff, known to make even the biggest mouthpiece shutup.

I believe some of the products are very similiar to the chemical make up of cocaine.

They sell paraphernalia and different kinds of legal smoke-able herbs (not drugs per se, but burning anything is bound to produce some kind of carcinogens. Really why would anyone sell to kids anyway? It should be common sense to look for ID.).

Kids are looking for an identity, want to stand out, want to react, want to rebel, as if they are little off-the-wall drugies, the majority of them are not, Identity crises, part of growing up, no need for alarm bells. I think there should be more emphasis on the alcohol addiction culture in Ireland, and docters, theat don't give a fiddlers, once they get thier bobs, throwing out hardcore addictive medcine, rather than suggesting that the kids are in danger of ending up as junkies.

No. I would have remembered that. It's a bit more serious, although you appear to be slack on realising it.
