My guess is that she smoked spice. The 911 call said she smoked something and it wasn't marijuana. I read that her AA sponsor recently died and she was very upset at her funeral.

Dr Drew was talking about her getting real and getting help. She had issues in past right? I really feel for her.... she is so talented. I always thought that there was a huge risk that her relationship with such a young cute guy would end at some point... I mean she is amazingly beautiful for her age but in ten to fifteen years he will still look VERY young and she will look like his mother/grandma. Has to be very hard in their world.

I read that she was getting high from nitrous oxide using cans of Redi-Whip. I had never heard of doing the before but this is how it is described:
Nitrous whips are when you huff the air that comes out of whipped cream cans. It is very dangerous.Wouldn't you know . . . my GFG always had me buying cans of Redi-whip. I asked GFG about it today when we were grocery shopping and she acted like she had never heard of it before. She said she just liked whipped cream.Nitrous oxide, the propellant used in Reddi-wip (and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)), is the same gas that is used as both a weak anaesthetic (primarily by dentists) and a performance enhancing oxidiser in motorsports.
What next?

Well we were not in the drug use situation so it is different, but we always wanted it around our house too... still do.
The phone call to 911 the woman said she smoked something like pot but it wasn't pot.... that is the 911 tape.

TMZ had originally reported the nitrous oxide story. Now the phone call does make it sound like she was smoking spice instead.
BTW . . was I the only person that didn't know you could get high using a redi-whip can?

I had heard about the whip cream thing years ago. Have you seen the whip cream now that contains alcohol? Just one more way to attract young people to alcohol.

Yes Buddy, you are the only person who didn't know you can get high from huffing LOL :-P
I work in retail and I recently went to a loss prevention seminar. Apparently, it's not uncommon for grocery stores to receive bad batches of whipped cream and get returns from disgruntled customers. When they get more than a few back and call the manufacturer, they are gently told that it isn't a manufacturing problem - it's a store clerk issue. OOPS (and then they call loss prevention to figure out who and when)
And more than a few customer service people at grocery stores have had to ask customers returning multiple aerosol products that won't spray "do you have teenagers at home?" and gently try to explain what could be the problem...and refunding their money of course.
