Had to deal with a kid last night who was huffing enddust First huffer I have dealt with |
are you freaking serious? that doesnt get you "high" does it? just makes you stupid for a while? kills brain tissue to IIRC |
Very serious The propellant in the aresol displaces oxygen and makes you hypoxic producing the "high" Yes it kills brain cells (rather rapidly), though you have to be lacking some to try it anyways If you think huffing that is bad, you obviously havent heard about the kids that are huffing fermented shit, yes human poop

Pure genious!  God, kids these days sure are screwed up.

| I've taken care af a large number of kids in the pediatric hospital I work at who have huffed shit to get in there. It's unusual becuase it's usually the "good" kids that do it, at least in my experience. No finding illegal drugs etc. I'd rather my kid smoke a joint than inhale some fucking endust. It kills brain cells by the bucketfull. |

re: huffing fecal matter... Jenkem rated FALSE from Snopes the rest of the huffing info is correct above. glue, head cleaner, paint,...i've seen nasty little dudes that do this stuff parked down deadend streets. the compressed gas "dusters" are more of a kid thing, as they can acquire it more readily while telling mommy they need to blow the dust out of their 'puter or gaming console. |

Perhaps a similar case (near as I can recall). Patrol has a service member who went Ape Sh**. In the end, they had to tie him down to the gurney with gauze tape. There were polaroids of so named member afterwards. I heard the traffic on my police radio at home at night and was on the phone to the dispatcher about the procedures of how to handle such. The next morning, I was in the XO's office pushing for a fitness for duty inspection if only to cover our tail. It was approved.....but it meant I had to be in sickbay to push it ....and hence, missing a Captain level base inspection. As far as that went, nothing came of it ..... the Security Officer (Provost Marshall) being pulled out of meetings with the Captain was nothing new and my senior chief handled things fine. The fitness for duty inspection found nothing that would indicate such actions. Days later, at XO's examination, he racked the servicemember and the incrimadating picture over the coals. I never found out what cause him to go nuts. But two things. In the FBI LE Journal a couple of years ago, there was an article about the value of having a psychologist type on ride alone for similar cases. After all, if someone is tearing the hell out of their place, woulnd't a psychologist opinion carry more weight? (give me time and I shall try to find the reference) Secondly, that day I was in sickbay, filling out the paper work? I was in winter blues with a radio on my hip, mic clipped to my epaulet. A Navy retiree, also in sickbay, wanted to know if I was NIS ...... which would not be an uncommon question at least then since in his and that time, the Navy didn't have young commissioned officers as military police (I was a rare exception). Got to tell you, though, wrong or right ...... he made me feel like Waffen SS! _____________________________________________________________________________ ("Your uniform, Captain.--Spock as Waffen SS "Yes, it's a pity yours isn't as attractive as mine. Gestapo, I believe."--Kirk "Quite true. You should make a very convincing Nazi." and Kirk aims a look at Spock with a mixture of surprise and near-annoyance, (w,stte). ST:TOS "Patterns of Force") |

wasnt that during the super bowl? Or am I thinking California. another thing kids are huffing nowdays is the cans of compressed air. Its supposed to get them fairly high for very cheap. It amazes me the level of stupidity that some people go through to get high. |
Dont know about SNOPES, but I can tell you there are law enforcement bulletins posted on the wall in our control room about it |
yes, if you check the Snopes data, it notes wide LE circulation of data in 2007 that is ultimately not verifiable by source along with pictures verified as fiction. |
One of my friends brothers died from doing that a year or so ago.
