There was also one about kids huffing freon. I hate to sound like an ol' coot, but kids today are so stupid they can't tell the difference between buzzed and poisoned. Somebody needs to buy 'em a 6-pack and a dime bag (oops, I forgot, that's illegal).
I saw a great episode on COPS (or some reality cop show) where they stumble upon a basement full of people huffing toluolene, evidently a strong solvent...
It's dark, it's damp, and there's a half-dozen people looking literally like zombies. Completely unlike any other type of 'stoned' behavior I'd ever seen. They were just staring, at nothing. No conversation, just sittin' there, huffing toluolene. The best part was, they cops clear the room out, with cans and cans of empty toluolene littering the room, and as they're just about to leave the room, a cop notices one last person huddled on the ground in a corner. In the 15-20 minutes it took for them to clear the room, NO ONE had noticed this guy. He was awake, just staring blankly... everyone missed him. He didn't say a word, didn't try and run, nothin'.
I have vowed to stay as far away from toluolene as humanly possible.
