Huffing - Quick high, Quick death.

Hello,
I would like to take this opportunity to talk about Huffing. I was flipping through the channels today when something came on the television that really grabbed my attention. It was a news story about Huffing. I had always known about it, but I had no idea that it was becoming so popular. And the mortality rate for this dangerous activity is steadily climbing.
Recently several kids have died because they thought they were sucking on harmless air. They were inhaling the contents of computer duster cans for a quick high. But its not air, these are dangerous chemicals that were never intended for inhalation. But one of the most shocking things about this is that there is nothing the police can do about it. Possession of air duster is not illegal. And if given a drug test nothing will show up. If a cop knows someone has been huffing air duster all they can do is call the paramedics.
The best thing to do is to know the warning signs. A family thought they were safe because the dad was a cop and the mom was a nurse, plus they lived with a k-9 police dog. But one morning they found there son dead with the red straw from the air duster still in his mouth. Huffing kills you fast. It either kills you while you are doing it or within 2 seconds of doing it. That's why he still had the straw in his mouth. But there were warning signs they didn't pick up on. The teen had come home complaining that his tongue hurt, they thought nothing of it, but it was frost bite from the freon from huffing. He also exhibited mood changes and loss of inhibition and the dad repeatedly found his cans of air duster missing.
The lack of laws against this form of drug abuse is startling. There is also no federal money for it either. The boys father now travels around speaking trying to make a difference.
