Default Children as young as 11 are turning up at school : Canisters of the gas epidemic

Canisters of the gas cost as little as 50p. Users get a buzz that makes them feel relaxed and euphoric.


[Eastender Lorna Fitzgerald appears to have a nitrous oxide balloon ]

[Children as young as 11
are turning up at school
out of their minds on drugs
as a legal high epidemic
sweeps the country. ]

Solvent abuse didn't exist when I was a lad

We did however, ask older people to buy us beer from the off license

Slovent?

I can honestly say I never did, and not even solvent abuse either.

What a ridiculous statement, I definitely didn't.

Solvent abuse can cause all kinds of problems and health issues, it's not just a passing phase like doing a bit of graffitti at the back of the bus or something. I've seen people affected by it when I was younger and going to school, just like in the story. Why are the parents of this generations SO LAZY? I don't understand..

And some morons want to lower the age for voting. Is it any wonder we are trapped in a game of political musical chairs with only 2 corrupt, inefficient, self-serving parties playing for the PM seat?

When I was at school sniffing gas from an aerosol was something a lot of people did. I did do it....didn't see the harm. Until one day one of the lads didn't come into school. He had been snuffing gas and died. ....One of the cool kids. That craze went quiet pretty quick after that.

This new craze though.....isn't it nitrous oxide which is what women have on labour?

Hey, just because, well, some of them have less braincells than others doesn't mean that it should ruin potentially voting earlier for the rest of us

Mate of mine was completely straight edge until he did a whip it a few years ago, started acting like the drug king and bragging about how he'd done a drug for weeks afterwards

There's my input

Solvent abuse does seem to go in fashions as such, tippex thinner, glue, lighter fuel, gas and now these.
You can't demonise all 'yoofs' for doing it or parents for not being able to stop their kid being affected by it.

Don't blame them tbh, the buzz I get off the gas and air the ambulance regularly have to give me for my ribs is absolutely amazing. Almost worth the pain..

My little brother was doing 'oxygen' at the last festival he went to

Also this really is not new. When I was at school people would do anything to get high (mind maybe not at 11, 13/14 ish). Some of my mates huffed nail varnish. I tried gas once myself and it did nothing but make my tooth really numb so I don't think I did it right

My point exactly.Most kids were trying to get wrecked on something at school back in my day(90's).I smoked weed from 13 until around 20 when it started making me feel like crap and i got zero enjoyment from it.
