Inhalants Are Not Kids Play

 

There are many people out there who believe that inhalants are not as bad as other drugs out there. While you may not hear about them on the television or see ads urging people to seek treatment for them, that does not mean they are safe either. The sooner people realize this, the better off they will be.

I have never met anyone on inhalants who truly believes that they are doing anything dangerous. As an adult, I hear people talk about using inhalants when they were younger and they are so blase about it. I am guessing that they believe that this is more socially acceptable, hence the willingness to share their tales of glue-sniffing glory.

Personally, I find nothing remotely interesting about the concept of inhaling anything. I have this underlying fear of all of my brain cells deciding to give up on me and becoming a vegetable. While that may seem a little farfetched, the reality is that using these drugs can kill some of your brains cells, which means that becoming a vegetable is a real possibility.

The sad thing about these types of drugs is the fact that it can be gotten quite easily by anyone who wants to indulge. There is no law that stops you from buying Krazy Glue or picking up a can of whipped cream from the grocery store. Of course this is because no one has no idea that they are being purchased for illicit use. So, when a teenager walks in and buys these items, no bells go off in the heads of most of the clerks.

It is terrible to imagine all of the youth of today having access to these drugs, especially since no one can stop them. This is why you should point out to young people you know that these can be just as dangerous as any other drugs out there. They should do themselves a favor and stay far away.
