I think the government in Ireland is going nuts.One guy who had no idea what he was up to in the first place takes a header over a balcony and now all of us are in danger of having our herbals banned.
That idiot should have read the bloody label. People OD every day on things such as paracetamol and even iron tablets and nobody in their right mind would consider banning them!! / rant]

Does anybody else here hate this kind of nanny state??

I have to admit, Benzylpiperazine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzylpiperazine) doesn't sound all that appealing to me.

There not everybodys cup of tea granted, but banning them is not an answer to an underlying issue, it is a knee jerk reaction. (The underlying issue is that recreational drug users take drugs because they like to get high and will pay money to do so and not always on something as harmless as mushrooms or BZP.)

Can's overdoses of that stuff cause life threatening seizures?
Also Ammerica and Australia are much stricter.

I hate to see drugs made illegal. It doesn't stop people from using them, just makes them criminals as well as druggies.

My point exactly. If people wanna get high or stoned there going to do it.Having them illegal not only makes them petty criminals but also puts them in the sphere of not so petty criminals as the large drug importers aren't knowen for being all that nice..

Thanks for that.But banning a drug that has had no recorded deaths or injuries linked to it because some moron didn't use some other plant correctly??? Yeah makes sense to me:rolleyes:
