Irish biggest abusers of ecstasy and amphetamines in Europe
Young Irish people are the biggest abusers of
amphetamines and ecstasy in Europe, and the fourth
highest in the world, a new global survey from the
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has found,
writes Olivia Kelly
Levels of abuse of amphetamines (known as speed) are
more than five times higher in Ireland than in most
other European countries and are only exceeded by
Thailand, Australia and the Philippines.
Irish people are the world's second biggest abusers of
ecstasy after Australia. The UN survey of 27 countries
where the synthetic drugs were prevalent found that
ecstasy and amphetamines were the most popular drugs
with people between 18 and 20 years of age.
Speaking to The Irish Times yesterday, the director of
the UN Office of Drugs and Crime, Mr Antonio Maria
Costa, warned that Irish youngsters were playing a
dangerous game of "Russian roulette".
Mr Costa said he was extremely concerned about the
levels of synthetic drug abuse among young Irish
people. "I worry very much about the Irish situation.
"In the first world survey on ecstasy and amphetamine
statistics, Ireland featured very prominently in terms
of consumption."
Increased prosperity and the ease of access to the
Netherlands, where two-thirds of the European ecstasy
is manufactured, were likely factors in Ireland's high
levels of abuse, he said.
"Ireland finds itself very difficult to protect, as do
all countries with a large expanse of coastline. It's
being attacked on two fronts, from the Netherlands
and, from the west, with cocaine from Colombia. To a
lesser extent, it is also under attack with heroin
from Afghanistan."
Mr Costa, who was in Dublin yesterday to attend the
Pompidou Ministerial Conference on drugs policy in
Europe, met the Minister for Justice, Mr McDowell, and
the Minister for Health, Mr Martin.
He paid tribute to their efforts in combating
synthetic drugs but said more needed to be done,
particularly in the area of prevention.
"The purpose is not to point the finger at anyone, but
to have open debate. Young people need to realise that
consumption of amphetamines is the equivalent of
Russian roulette.
"Not all will end up like zucchinis but the chances of
a bullet in the brain are very high."

What an unusual threat. Next time you gobble a yoke down, Mr. Costa might just slip you a mickey and fit you with a pair of concrete galoshes.
ecstacy is incredibly expensive in australia though, is it not?

Aus$40 per pill, they say. I'm guessing that's about e15-20, but who knows?herv said:
It's probably about as mush as E used to cost in IRL a few years ago - didn't it used to be like 15-20 pounds a pop? And now it's a fiver or something?
It always used to be Brits and Spaniards who were Europe's top hedonists.
I'd love to know where all the secret E labs in NL are. Just like I'd love to know where all the weed fields are. It's a small country (1/4 size Ireland or so) - can't be that hard to find, you'd think.
I wonder how they measure who's doing what? Vox pops at club closing times?
Anyway, winners don't do drugs, and I'm a winner.

well, about 8-10. depending on how much you buy obviously.

appearantly the main piece of lab equipment you need to produce pills is a toilet! i guess its to do with the constant supply of water or summat. so i guess e can be produced just about anywhere.

saw it friday evening and ended up going to see it again saturday afternoon. i thought it was a classic, definitely my favourite tarantino film anyway. not a whole lot of story or even dialogue, but visually its pretty amazing - especially the anime sequence in the middle.
the quickest two hours ive ever spent in a cinema too..
i was convinced it was only about 70 minutes long but it clocks in at just under two hours. its brillo

I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru
I've had sunshine in the arctic and a swim in Tinbuktu
I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yetti in Nepal
And I've danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall
I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner
But I've never met a nice South African.
No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant bastards
Who hate black people
I once got served in Woolies aften less than four week's wait
I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late
I know a public swimming bath where they don't piss in the pool
I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school
I've met a normal merman and a fairly modest German
But I've never met a nice South African.
No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers
Who smell like baboons
I've had a close encounter of the twenty-second kind
That's when an alien spaceship disappears up your behind
I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings
I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings
I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig
But I've never met a nice South African.
No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
'Cause we're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths
With no sense of humour - ha ha
I've met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred Astaire
At the BBC in London he's the chief commissionaire
I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies
I met a man in Katmandu who claimed to have two willies
I've had a nice pot noodle but I've never had a poodle
And I've never met a nice South African.
No he's never met a nice South African
And that's not bloody surprising man
Because we've never met one either
Except for Breyten Breytenbach and he's emigrated to Paris. (farts)
Yes he's quite a nice South African
And he's hardly ever killed anyone
And he's not smelly at all.
That's why they put him prison.
