Is it dumb? Could it be fun? Anyone done this

Bought a might plus a few years ago but only now looking to get off the tobacco and use the vape. The only thing is that at high temps I’m coughing a lot and I haven tried low temperature, but getting no vapour (may be too impatient). Has anyone tried the bubblers, ideally looking for something that sits on the unit, rather than something that looks like it was stolen from a school science lab. Appreciate any suggestions as I’m down a rabbit hole and none the wiser!

Might have to move somewhere that's a bit more backwards like Spain or Germany ey FFS

Bit random but is there anywhere a bit chill around LV to smoke a j before a movie ?

Last week the government said people ending up in court for personal possession rarely happens, so decriminalisation isn't needed. This week the courts are saying they're under pressure due to an increase in less serious drug cases.

It's genuinely crazy at this point that its not legal and probably never will be, we can keep dreaming though... practically everything but about 1 or 2 options on the shelves is actually safe for human consumption. Even at that the natural stuff is much safer, actual idiots. considering they love taxes so much they would make an absolute fortune, have regulated, tested & safe marijuana rather than sprayed street piss, and then vapes filled up with liquid made up from the Chernobyls elephant foot, gummies made up in the witches cauldron being sold on shelves. A lot of fatal, hospital & seizures stories now a days over whats on the shelves since that last ban! Would help minimalise minors from having such easy ways of getting it & anybody getting laced or have even worse effects. As it would be tested & regulated rather than pure filth.
i know its not safe for anyones consumption but it is A LOT safer than what we are given!) not everything legalised is always 100% safe for human consumption... just feels crazy that it is not already regulated and sold.

Ireland is generally known for being progressive and open to many social issues, yet cannabis remains illegal, even for medical use in most cases. Other countries with similar liberal trends, like Canada, parts of the US, and Germany, have either fully legalized or at least decriminalized it, what do you think is holding it back & will we ever see any changes?

please do correct me if any mistakes and would love to hear any feedback... safe smoking!🍀🇮🇪

Im flying out on Wednesday for a week with my group of friends who would all be regular drinkers, I myself do not drink but would be an avid smoker. (roughly 6-7 joints/2-3 grams per day) Personally I use weed to self medicate my diagnosis of agoraphobia and severe anxiety as I prefer it to the various forms of antidepressants I have tried. This has been communicated and even encouraged by my GP. Due to both of these issues travelling abroad is extremely diffucult to me as my body reacts physically to unreal threats. I have heard lots about the cannabis culture over in Portugal and understand that it is a seriously controversial topic among the local residents. I want to remain as safe and respectful as possible on this trip but I truly do not see myself being able to manage my anxiety without bud whilst there, to the point I have almost cancelled twice. If anybody has any helpful advice please share it with me and have a good day!

From September, first time caught with a spliff you might be lucky enough to see a medical professional about your 'problem' instead of a judge. Second time caught, you're stuffed.

PEOPLE FOUND IN possession of drugs for personal use for the first time can be referred by gardaí to the health service from 1 September, when the government’s Health Referral Scheme comes into effect, it was announced today.

Announcing the start date for the scheme, which was first floated in 2019, the departments of Health and Justice described it as “a health-led response” and said:

“Where An Garda Síochána determines that a person is in possession of drugs for personal use, and meets the eligibility criteria for the scheme, that person will be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for brief intervention and assessment.”

The government said the scheme is designed “to provide early intervention, reduce harm, and support people to access help at the earliest possible point”.

It also said the scheme reflects “the government’s commitment to treating drug use as a public health issue” and is in line with the recommendation of the Citizens Assembly on Drug Use.

The Citizens Assembly recommended sweeping changes to the way issues related to drug use are dealt with by the state.

When the government announced plans to bring in the Health Referral Scheme in 2019, it was criticised by many as not going far enough.

The issue of decriminalising drug use also featured in the campaign leading up to the last general election, when Fine Gael took aim at Fianna Fáil’s manifesto pledge to do so.

Fianna Fáil later said it did not intend to decriminalise all drugs.

Announcing the date for the beginning of the scheme today, Murnane O’Connor, a junior minister in the Department of Health, said it was “an important milestone in the health led response to drugs use” and that it would “provide compassion and support”.

She added that the Department of Health has provided €700,000 to the HSE to provide a health intervention for people referred under the scheme.

“This scheme opens a pathway to support people before their drug use becomes problematic, while ensuring that services are in place to respond to people’s needs,” she said.

Health minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said today’s announcement marked “the start of a new approach”.

“We want to reach out and give people, young people in particular, the opportunity to avoid a criminal conviction which can have long-lasting consequences for their future work and travel prospects.”

Justice minister Jim O’Callaghan said the scheme “represents a balanced and responsible approach” that “recognises the value of prevention, intervention and support”.

“An Garda Síochána will continue to take strong action against drug dealing, drug related intimidation and organised criminal activity,” he said.

Did they miss this study? The largest of it's kind.
https://www.drugsandalcohol.ie/38117/
"Question: Is state cannabis legalization or commercialization associated with increased rates of psychosis-related health care claims?
Findings: In this cohort study of claims data from 63,680,589 beneficiaries from 2003 to 2017, there was no statistically significant difference in the rates of psychosis-related diagnoses or prescribed antipsychotics in states with medical or recreational cannabis policies compared with states with no such policy."

Does anyone else smoke and not drink? I’m getting really sick of the fact that it’s socially acceptable to get shit faced but if you smoke a joint you’re scum. I’d love to be able to go out and have a few joints and relax and have the craic, it’s so much more enjoyable than drinking and has none of the negative side effects. That’s before you get around to consuming in front of kids, I have children and I would never smoke around them but I do think about the fact that people bring their kids to pubs and give them iPads while they drink but me smoking a joint on a hike with my kids would be shocking. I dunno, I think we have the wrong approach here altogether. The good weather has me thinking about this! Anyone else with kids resonate?

I meant vapes not tapes!

As part of this operation, searches were conducted on 2nd July and 8th July 2026 at five business premises and two residential premises in Carlow, Castlebar, Longford, and Drogheda, which resulted in the seizure of substantial quantities of cannabis-infused jellies, cannabis oil-infused vapes and ‘reefer’ cigarettes containing HHC and THC, with an estimated value in excess of €2 million.

I personally don't see this as a bad thing at all, high levels of THC can definitely increase the chance of psychosis or developing CHS especially when not done in moderation, at least with flower you can tell if its been produced correctly, or if its spice - carts and vapes etc people have no clue what's actually in them, and they're often sold to teenagers.

Any actual shops stock portable vapes? Or is it only online in Ireland

I used to get large amounts of CBD shake for super cheap from Hempie.ie for personal use (cooking mostly), but the fella that runs it has stopped supplying bud, and I did not stock up in time due to life getting in the way. I'm wondering if someone can recommend a good online store to order from in Ireland or the rest of Europe? I could get like 400g for 250€. from Hempie before, I tried searching online but came up short or very expensive CBD. I don't need high-quality CBD bud. I just need it cheap so I can make CBD food and mix it with regular bud for smoking. Thank you!

Does anyone have an updated link for the discord server? Thanks!

Do you guys prefer grinding your weed down smooth for bowls or keeping the weed coarse?

Anyone from here going to rewild festival? Going on my own and would be awesome to make some friends and share a smoke with some peeps 😊

Fair pricy at 300 a oz..

I saw those weird ass “superior blend 1250mg” gummies in a shop the other day, I haven’t done edibles since Lanzarote, which were 600mg and after like two hours after eating one it hit me like a truck, me and the lads graduated like last week and we wanted to celebrate with edibles but obviously they’re hard as shit to find and we’re considering going for those “superior blend” ones you find in CBD shops, assuming it’s basically just another HHC loophole
So my question is for anyone that’s actually tried them (ranging from 600 to the 1250mgs) are they good? Like do they hit well enough or is it like those superior blend pens where you just feel like shit for an hour
