Hello! harsh times in Ireland!

I had solid international hookups but customs in Ireland seems to have stepped its game up so now they are a bust. The local marijuana is shit so it looks like I may have to start growing and I hope some of the members here will be able to advise me. Anyway hello to all I am villageman and I hope we can be friends.

Hello and welcome :) I'm new here as well, more or less the same story as you (got fucken tired of paying for what should be free). The amount of info available here is tremendous, just rollitup and have a good read, try to see what will suit your situation and give it a go. Worse to worst you'll lose some seeds. Good luck

Hey there. In the same boat myself. Mom has been good to me over the years (she's a sweet old gal ;) ) but a harsh letter from a gentleman named Stephen at the Office of the Revenue Commissioners has put a serious strain on our relationship. It's time to seek out greener pastures methinks.

Haven't tried to grow anything in a long time, but it seems the time is now. Excellent site by the way, looking forward to hours of educational reading :)

may have to start growing? lol you say that, like its a bad thing :)

hmm, let me see.

vastly reduced spending money on weed.

no longer driving all around town or hanging on the phone to get some weed (that you might not get or till the next day, or its completely shit or its a new connection and you got ripped, blablabla)

actually reduced chance of getting caught (less hanging around with "criminal element" (read people that the police watches like a soapopera))

no longer smoking whatever you could find, but actually smoke what you want and when you want it.

need smoke? just paddle on down to my little weed cabinet and grab a nug :)

all this i can do, with just a little work every day and about one square meter of my apartment (im a daily smoker :))

cant say i miss a single thing about my buying days. overpriced underpotent shit, most of them time and dealing with idiots :)

you can grow in a tiny pc case with a cfl or 2 and a computer fan.

even if thats all you can do (lack of space, money, whatever)

its still bud, good bud (clfs grow potent bud (if the genetics are there))

and yours.

(and not a lot of work to get it and even if you dont get much, you are still both saving money and getting good bud (20g every 2 months aint bad to get for nearly free, heck, even if it was only 5g,. it was still nearly free bud and fun to grow)

So what is going on in Ireland? Are your packages getting confiscated or just stepped up LEO presence?
I'm curious.

Airmail from Holland always received particular attention from Irish customs officers, wise to what might originate there. An Amsterdam postmark guarantees a close inspection.

Lately these gentlemen and their canine companions have learned of other great cities of horticulture across the ocean. Irish stoners mourn a drought of the potent and the precious, while medicinal users panic at the loss of safe, reliable supply. Low dealers of tainted hash from volatile countries rejoice at the prospect of big profits to come.

I fear I might even see the return of the 'Gritweed' days, when a wise gentlemen would chew on a piece of herb before purchase it to ensure it contained no ground glass. The things I loved most about Mom were that she enjoyed clean organic gardening, she never associated with thugs, and she never ever offered to ship free firearms with large purchases. She'll be sadly missed :(

On the bright side, after a few days on this forum I have learned what a permi-grow stealth ScrOG box setup looks like. I've also learned the pros and cons of CFL bulbs and how to make carbon odour filters on the cheap. Treasure!

Forth Irishmen! To the forums!

An Irish MOM could work, however it would be so hard for them to keep everything secret, in this day and age you always seem to get people bragging to friends and on the internet.
If there's someone with acres of space or living in the middle of nowhere it would be a great opportunity as there is such a massive market there, then again the hard part is having a large grow op and not be found out.
Ireland is sickening at the moment.
