[diggyd]

@theblahman . Thats just what that bully Dermot Ahern wants you to do.

[XxPurdyPrincessxX]

ANGERS ME TO LISTEN TO THOSE WOMEN.

Beibhinn is 100% correct in my opinion.

young people should be educated at HOME about the dangerous of drugs etc.

everyone SHOULD have the choice of what they want to do with THEIR bodies.

[macunfraidh]

Beibhinn hit the nail on the head. The other two are the typical scaremongers that we see all to often in the media and on the phone to Joe Duffy. If we're gona make headshops illegal, then lets shut down the pubs and tobacco shops.

@Slyboy4life why don't these old hags just mind their own fuckin business.

[BogMonkey53]

Listen to this bullshit. They think they're protecting young people haha my god. Protecting them from what? Exploring their minds and possibly learning something? The thought of young experiencing an altered state of consciousness and gaining some insight into the mechanisms of their mind and reality itself and having a good time in the process just sickens me.

[Slyboy4life]

The main concern of these women seems to be young people taking head shop products... So why not introduce a age limit instead of banning it for everyone?
