The Irish Abroad

at

He kept his yokes down under,

For personal use.

Via The Sydney Morning Herald:

An Irish tourist found with 10 MDMA capsules at a Parramatta music festival on Sunday has escaped conviction after he argued the party drug is “not strong enough” in Australia and all of the pills were for his personal use.

David Crean, 32, was arrested at the Ultra Music festival and charged with supplying a prohibited drug after a sniffer dog sat down next to him when he entered Parramatta Park at about 1.45pm.

According to police facts, Mr Crean – who is in Australia on a two-week holiday – was “nervous” and “visibly shaking” when he was spoken to by police, and when an officer asked “be honest, do you have any drugs on you?”, he admitted he had drugs in his underwear.

Mr Crean told police he “did not intend on selling the capsules and planned on consuming all of them himself as the purity of MDMA in Australia is not strong enough”, the facts state.

In fairness.

      sing it, brother! i also encourage not just youths, but anyone of any age to give em a go. Just don’t do loads of em like a spanner. Just one, maybe two. And this is from a Doctor!

        Especially if you’ve never done them before you can get up to two years of partying every other month before the downer black Monday becomes a black Monday/Tuesday and then the awful black Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. Then its time to cut back. A few yolks once a year is grand though! Also don’t try sticking one up your arse, its not a good experience !! Trust me!

          yea ive done that. not great. to offer some advice back, never put speed into a rollie. they were the only things left by that stage of the party, a bit of tabacco, a skin, and speed. so i put em all together. not cool.

    Classy guy, but at least he wasn’t boasting about drinking everyone under the table. I’ve heard from on Aussie co-worker that Irish lads down under constantly do this and end up in a mess. Jaysus

    If they catch me in Turkey with a naggin of Connemara poteen, I’ll tell the judge that Turkish poteen is as light as methylated spirits.
