[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 295003, member: 1233"] The CO canisters are NOT a good sign. They are a big red flag that he is "huffing". He is inhaling the propellant to get high. This is a truly terrifying addiction. The user gets high from a terribly common item, one not likely to be monitored or refused. Often the propellant they huff can go into the lungs and force out oxygen so they suffocate. They cannot get air in because the lungs are filled up with this propellant. If an addict ever tries to huff using a product like Pam or baker's joy, they won't survive it. The oil will coat their lungs so that they cannot breathe. There is NOTHING that 911 or a hospital can do to revive someone who huffs Pam. My uncle worked for the company that makes it and he did a lot of safety training for it because he was a volunteer EMT and the first responder for his area of the company. Many many kids start with this, or with sniffing glue or the old permanent markers that were so smelly. The sale of these things is not restricted or monitored and anyone with a buck or two can get them. Most also do not show up on drug tests. LOTS and LOTS of kids use the canned pressurized air that is designed to blow dust out of computers and other sensitive areas. Kids figure it is air, and we need air to breathe so it is OK. It is not. I urge you to google "huffing" and dangers of huffing and signs of huffing. It is scary. Sending good thoughts! [/QUOTE]
