Yikes.

Last night.

A hydroponic grow house in Donegal, where approximately 800 cannabis plants and 30 kilos of cannabs ‘erb were seized.The find followed searches of lands and a premises at Carrickboy, Ballyshannon [home of the folk festival *winks*), Co Donegal.

Gardai estimate a ‘street’ value of 1.2 bajillion (pending analysis).

That street is now safe.

Go about your business.

    That estimate of “worth” reminds me of a line from Tequila Sunrise …

    Deputies seized over 700 kilos of cocaine…they reported (the cocaine) …had a street value of $27 million.
    (whistles) Street value $27 million? (b)What street is that? (/b)You show me how to get there just once.

      its a kind of a Nelson Muntz “Ha Ha” in the face of all the stoners

      or

      to distract from the latest Garda bad headline

      one of those i reckon!

      They need the good PR and considering Ireland is full of knuckle dragging morons that go to mass and comment on thejournal. Breaking us a house that was harmlessly growing some weed is big news.

      He, he, he Fluffy, you’ve just reminded me of one of the first times we took the bikes up the mountains in Crete, initially I commented on the nice sweet smell, thinking it was from flowers, then after a while we started getting giddy, so we parked up and took a walk around – then the penny dropped :)

      1. Paolo

        Is taking the bike up the mountain in Crete a euphemism for something durty? Sounds like it is.

          Who decides if it’s a pointless law? Would you like the gardai to selectively enforce stuff based on their own personal views?

          2. David

            “Who decides if it’s a pointless law?”

            This so-called “war on drugs” is a pointless waste of time.

            “Would you like the gardai to selectively enforce stuff based on their own personal views?”

            Now you’re just being silly.

      3. Shay

        Yes, when the law doesn’t make any sense and criminalises people fro growing a harmless plant.

    1. scottser

      well, a house full of begonias doesn’t have a street value of 1.2mill in fairness.

    Good work by the Gardai, large scale operations like this are not the work of your local hippy. More likely the sort of person who shoots his rivals in public places with no regard for by-standards.

    2. sp

      Well we could put those people out of business if the plant they’re growing wasn’t outlawed.

    3. Jonotti

      True quite often slaves are used to look after the crops. Your average Irish junkie doesn’t give a plop about this of course.

      1. ABM's Bloodied Underwear

        What are you waffling on about?
        Slaves are used in Ireland to grow weed?

        Seriously?

        1. Jonotti

          Yes. You’re the third person I’ve destroyed in this thread.

          Define junkie

          a drug addict.

            Janotti our pubs, cafes, bars and restaurants are all stacked with junkies by your definition. You may well be one also by your own standards. Though you probably limit yourself to just smelling your own farts.

          2. DeSelby

            “Destroyed”? Really? That’s a bit generous to yourself.
            I am guessing you don’t get out that much.

      5. Shay

        No Jonotti, you don’t “win” anything I’m afraid, your so-called arguments could barely win an u-8’s egg and spoon race. IF slaves are used to grow weed, so what. Its a direct result of it’s mindless prohibition.

        Legalise it, tax it, regulate it, and I doubt they’ll be many “slaves” going herb anywhere.

    4. Clampers Outside!

      Or, he could be cultivating for medical use….

      There’s a fine independent documentary on the youtube to be found with a guy growing for his and others use for medicinal purposes. Among other persons in the doc.
      Worth watching it for the young man who was caught growing, but when he pointed out that the law didn’t cover the plant he was growing he was told to keep quiet or the judge would see him as a smart ass and go to town on him…. FOR A CRIME NEVER COMMITTED, the guy now has a criminal record for never having technically broken the law… the judge and solicitor should be sacked, the judge in particular for being an egotistical gobsjh*te instead of doing his job as the law dictates !

      Here it is…

      good work by the gardai? i’d say the stink off 800 flowering plants is unreal. anyone with even one functioning nostril would be able to detect it.

    6. Shay

      Ah yes, great work by the Gardai. Great work clamping down on someone selling a harmless plant. Oh and the argument that because the person selling these “plants” may or may not be someone dangerous and as such, we should clamp down on them is absurd. It’s the fact that cannabis is prohibited that it attracts criminals.

      Al Capone was a nasty piece of work during the prohibtiion days.

      I rarely see Diageo going round killing people.

      Understand?

        1. scottser

          you have the advantage of me sir. i am intrigued as to how one could improve upon the ergonomics of a 2-skin L.

  17. Bad At Memes

    Right, let me be straight about this:

    I want my next gubbernment to demolish Irish Water.
    Second after that I want them to fk2fk off about the drugs.
    It’s none of their business.
    God help us when it is…

    …but that’s another day.
