'The number of heroin users in Dublin has increased hugely, bringing hundreds more addicts into the city centre seeking treatment.

Figures from a leading drug treatment clinic show record levels of heroin users across the country.

New figures from the country's biggest drug treatment charity show that in Dublin alone 642 new drug users sought treatment last year from Merchant's Quay Ireland (MQI).'

'Mr Geoghegan said that addressing the drugs crisis was about reducing human misery and it should not be reduced to economics.

Nonetheless, the charity had "significantly pared back our costs in relation to areas like administration, research, training and other back office functions, while at the same time agreeing new working arrangements with staff to ensure that we could develop new much needed initiatives for our service users."

He stressed that investing in harm reduction service directly reduced the money needed for healthcare.

Investing in drug substitution had been shown to reduce spending on healthcare, criminal justice and social welfare.

"Most of all, investing in all of these areas reduces the misery associated with drug use for everybody."'
 
It Seems that drug Prohibition has failed in Ireland as well as it has in the US,Canada,UK,etc..It is strange how that since the US DEA was formed and billions and billions of US tax dollars spent on the so called "War on Drugs" that drugs are more avialble and of higher purtiy and lower prices in most of the US.I would say that shows that the "war on drugs" is a war against the people,and so will never be won,despite ever increasing tax dollars flushed down the toilet by being used for the DEA budget.Shame on the DEA for it's Gestapo like tactics.I hope soon that organisations like the DEA will be a terrible thing of the past,like the NAZI party...That day cannot come soon enough for more people than the politicans think..
 
south america seems to be reaching just such a tipping point... but the word "war" applies all too well, there.
