sheepshagger Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 there is not a country in the world that doesn't have a problem with heroin. Some choose to ignore it some deny any problem and some say oh look at every one else and their problems much worse than ours. very few actually try and do something constructive to combat it.

sheepshagger Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 experiance, live in Shetland spend quite a bit of time in Norway.see very little evidence of junkies in Norway even in Bergen and Oslo but every small village in Shetland has it resident junky. Folk that 10 to 15 years ago would beat the turd out of anyone selling smack in Shetland are selling the sharn themselves now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Bergen had lots wandering around when I was there . just take a walk up past the uni and around the old part of town there and you see them walking around. It just more noticeable here as the place is smaller. The Toilets in the uni even have locks on the outside door.. and unless you have a uni pass you cant use the toilets because of the amount of junkies that were using them to jack up.

MaxFusion Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 ^ much like the experience a friend had when they visitedthey said about needles in parks too.... not that I doubt your experience there either SS but the wealthier a nation the harder drugs the populous takes....I don't know why maybe the Swiss have the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 This is very true I myself found a used needle in a Bergen park whilst playing hide and seek with my daughter (':shock:'), needless to say that was the end of the game.... Also a Norwegian friend saw a man with a needle still protruding from his arm wandering through the market at the end of the pier. She told him that she thought he had forgotten something pointing to said needle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khitajrah Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 My ex used to be a grasscutter and I remember one day he said he'd found a heroin needle in the grass alongside the Clickimin playing field, the one where they jump the ponies in. He'd strimmed it and it got stuck in his boiler suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepshagger Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 the playing park at hayfield has become a shooting gallery as is the back of the bogs in the gibby park, I,ve seen needles in the park in king Harald street aswell. found discarded needles up the lane from the chemist a the cross, probably one of the free ones doled out to stop them passing on nasty infections to each other but they don't give a damn about the kid that may pick it up.seen needles in Scalloway and at Voe, so I would guess if you keep your eyes open they could be found anywhere in Shetland, starting to take over from the red rose unfortunately.Take a look around sandveien and it is hard to avoid needles, junkies foot-sucked out their brains are wandering around evrywhere in Shetland yet I've been in Kristiansund a few days now drinking in their equivelent of the thule and wandering around the place and I doubt I've seen one junky yet.

Pooks Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Diabetics or untidy buggers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhalla Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 What a stupid comment Styles! I know quite a few diabetics and have not yet come across "an untidy sausage" yet. From the first diagnosis they are ALL taught how to dispose of their life saving needles responsibily. Do your homework styles. You have ruffled my feathers a bit there.

Styles Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 It was only a joke, I was being sarcastic, I have a friend whos a diabetic, I have never seen so many needles, hes disposes of then correctly though when he gets round to it.

ladyfootballer Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 [*** mod edit - merged with existing thread from "Sherriff slams isles drug culture"***] Anybody else find this quite a strange thing for the sheriff to say? I can't really work out what he's meaning. Is he being critical that quite a lot of people up here take heroin now? Is he being critical that we have quite a segmented community where different groups form together? Is he being critical of the enforcement agencies for failing to stop the drugs coming in? Is he being critical of support agencies for not accessing and supporting susceptible young people at early stage? Is he being critical of the education system for not doing enough on drug awareness? Or is he just simply saying he's fed up with us Shetlanders and our drug issues. Just seemed to me a really random non-productive thing to say. He may as well have just said "hard drugs are bad" for all the significance it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
