Gardaí in north county Dublin have seized cannabis with a street value of €250,000. The haul was discovered in a house at Turnapin Cottages in Cloghran close to the airport late last night. A saw-off shotgun and a crossbow were also recovered. Gardaí say no one has been arrested yet in connection with the find.

***************

Now Cannabis is ok "in moderation", sawn off shotguns aren't nor are crossbows, and use your soft maths again, 250,000€ of hash at street value means a lot of kilos in bulk. Thing is *getting the priorities* right is important. So may of you will think coz you like a smoke thats its bad news to see a quarter of a million euros worth of hashish go to the incinerator.
Some of you will wonder... where is that incinerator, could I just stand down wind for a while?
And some of you will think, wow, someone gets a quarter million euros of bulk on a regular basis and is not paying a screed of tax, and probably doesn't even roll spliffs just snorts it all instead, and threatens other people with crossbows and shit, and hey, maybe its time I grew my own.

Cannabis Sativa is a natural plant of the garden, its found everywhere, it has grown succesfully in the last few years in the Queen of engurland's back garden, Westminster Square, and just in front of the White House in Washington.

= Get your priorities right. Minister, Gardaí, Kids, Gardeners, buyers. Get the bad guys & give the kids a break.

mm, interesting to see how this pans out, 4 lads from dundalk just got 10-17 years for supplying cannabis - Class B/C. Ecstacy and Whizz is a class A drug. Whats the betting he gets off with a fine.

Its and old joke round here - but he must have been an "avant guard " ;-)

Now do we think its right that E n whizz are Class A drugs? Coz elsewhere in the EU they aren't, and we really ought be harmonising that sort of thing.

After all they're not Smack nor Crack are they?
You dont find problem E heads mugging people and being a nusiance to feed their habit in a parasitic way, rather on the contrary they support a billion euro entertainment and fashion industry, and just make a nusiance of themselves with the LOUD music.

yes i agree, but i wouldnt' argue for their re-classification just yet, now that there is a smelly garda in the frame. Maybe when HE gets sentenced :-)

But today there is news of a seizure of 200kg of cannabis by his boys in blue, "not a blackguard amongst them" which they estimate at being worth
€1.5 million in north Dublin.

Do the soft math.
Do you agree with the estimate?
No you don't.
so who's telling porkies?

Minister Mc Dowell, has recently promised to improve housing to the Gardaí, let us wonder was the garda in the article above "living in subsidised accomodation?"
but has not offered us any news on the alledged shooting incident at his second home in roscommon which Prof J Fitzgerald, and an increasingly vocal lobby think he ought pay tax on.
