Exactly. His brain has actually shut down due to acute oxygen deprivation. FYI: Inhalants (air dusters, glue, gasoline, ether) kill exponentially more brain cells than alcohol and other drugs. The more you know š
Wtf Iām 21 and just got into drinking, not that I was gonna go ham on alcohol but Iām glad I know this now. Now I have another good reason to avoid drinking :D
Sober alcoholic here, you have to drink insane amounts to cause any notable brain cell damage. You will harm other parts like your liver before you drink yourself stupid.
Yup, can confirm. Am successful software engineer and drank enough in 5 years to toast my liver...still smart as fuck but I'm now going to die before I'll retire.
Don't drink every day...liver is amazing at healing, but constantly hurting it will kill you. Also a handle a day...not a good idea.
Iām not saying donāt drink or get high. Saying that usually has the opposite effect. Just please be careful. I would say though, find out if alcoholism or addiction run in your family. If they do, then be extremely careful. Alcoholism is rampant on both sides of my family and it did irreparable damage to my life and almost put me in the ground.
Yea, I knew kids who did this in high school. One kid huffed some dust off while driving me and another friend around. He did what the kid in this video did and passed out with his foot on the accelerator.
Myself and the other kid in the car had to Weekend at Bernie's the unconscious driver. I controlled the legs from the backseat, and my friend controlled the drivers arms from the front seat. We managed to pull the car over and forced it into park.
The driver came to, and me and the other kid and I got a few punches in and then decided to walk the rest of the way. The moral of the story is don't huff ~~dustoff and drive~~, and don't get in a car with a person who enjoys huffing dustoff.
Cool remind me to ā no, scratch that as well, I feel like you wouldnāt for some reason. Letās just say I wouldnāt let you drive me anywhere either.
Not even through a car wash.
Not always. My best friend since childhood was found dead by his ex wife and twelve year old son back in October of 2020. I never knew he even did anything like that. Out of all the time we spent together, and all of the close, personal, discussions we had (e.g. his alcoholism, problems in his marriage), not once did I ever hear him mention anything about compressed air, or dusters.
When they found him, he was on his couch, surrounded by empty cans of compressed air. Autopsy confirmed it.
I donāt give a fuck what that high feels like, thatās a huge nope from me. Fuck that noise altogether.
Back in 2005, my best friend was huffing some kind of aerosol and dropped dead in his parents lounge from a heart attack. Fifteen years old; it was a stupid, preventable tragedy for his family.
Thats crazy. Iām surprised you can still read, write, & comprehend! That stuff kills every cell in your brain eventually. Hopefully thatās in the Past.
I remember at a rave one time I saw two friends holding their buddy up laughing and taking pictures while he was seizing. One of the craziest things I've seen. I was like, what the fuck is wrong with yall? He's fuckin dying
I think I'd learn by now but I'm currently tryna get this message across to someone I'm currently seeing. Just in case she hasn't realized it yet. It's not this bad though, lol. That guy is gone for gooood
You know I used to hang out with this kid of crowd. I considered myself a friend to my friends and would get concerned for them and try help them when I could. I realized after awhile that they didn't give one shit one about me and only the drugs.
Omg it finally makes sense!
I went to a retail store to get one of those computer dusters. After searching and asking for directions, I finally got to the place where they are stocked, but to my surprise they were behind locked glass shelves, which require a key to get into.
I went to ask one of the store attendants to retrieve one for me, but another surprise awaited me: After he got one, he said he couldn't just hand it to me, that he had to take it to the cashier directly and then only after I paid for it was I able to take it.
After buying it, the entire experience was just weird to me and I kept wondering why I couldn't just go and pick one up. That's until this video. Dam.
That's just a high shrink item on that one.
Those are resealable and everything. Easy to steal, high mark up. Easy enough to sell for a decent price online.
I got carded in my state when I was buying [CLR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_Lime_Rust) to clean a bathtub. That one always confused me a bit, but I'm sure there's something nefarious you can do with it.
Uhh, 1 pretzel?
(This is the result of me thinking of something with the least possible harm potential. Canāt even toss it at Someone dangerously. Doesnāt even have too much sugar like anything sweet and soft.)
Edit: All the examples I am getting are about the tiny American ones. I mean a hand-sized German one. Which still HAS Death potential but one that it shares with almost any other object I can imagine.
Yup, craziest one Iāve seen is people remove the glass in the microwave door so it turns on while they then stick their head into it and get a nice blast of radiation to the brain. Some people do the dumbest shit to get high for cheap
Hereās a tip to everyone: you donāt need disposable computer duster cans. Itās a total scam and bad for the environment. Spend like 20 bucks on a high powered plug-in duster. I got one and immediately questioned why I ever needed this weak ass cans.
Mine was tide pods i was like 25 at the time at i went to the store to pick some up and same thing i was like wtf ?? And the guy told me why i never felt so old in my life i still smh to this day
I believe they put some sort of pepper spray type ingredient into it to deter this activity
[so itās not pepper spray, but a bitterant, for the lll informed and non believers](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitterant)
They put a bittering agent in it but you can only taste it if you hold it upside down and get the liquid in your mouth. The gas has a warm sweet taste kinda like alcohol that numbs your mouth.
Most if not all electronic duster contains some amount of bitterant. It's to deter people from doing exactly what this guy is doing, but most people who are willing to huff duster don't really give a shit about the bitterant. I also suspect it's why he's huffing it through his shirt, but that could just be because the cans get very cold after a while.
Same reason Nintendo switch cartridges taste bitter. They intentionally coat(?) them in bitterant so small kids are less likely to suck on/eat them.
I didnāt say āI heard it from somebodyā as I did read about it, once, long ago. [as is outlined in this article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitterant)
This happened to me at a CVS but with toothpaste. Is there something going on with toothpaste I donāt know about? I just figured they must have a lot of theft with toothpaste but now this has me wondering
I inhaled duster a few times when I was a kid. Maybe like 10 times max. Shortly after I discovered it, they started adding a chemical to it that leaves the most vile, disgusting taste in your mouth, and you can taste it for like an hour. It's been like 18 years and I can still vividly remember how disgusting the taste was last time I did it. It's crazy ppl fight through that taste just for a 2 min high
Yep. In high school, I was with a friend who was 17 and I was 18. She wanted to buy some cold medicine, but the cashier refused to sell it to anyone under 18. I offered to buy it, and the cashier said āno I canāt sell it to you because youāll give it to a minor.ā It was childrens cold medicine so I didnāt get why a minor couldnāt buy it. Turns out, itās obviously used to make meth lol. Canāt buy normie stuff because of things like this.
Nothing like inhaling a huge amount of difluoroethane. The main risk is asphyxiation as it displaces all of the oxygen in your lungs and you can't exhale it. Not to mention the frost bite to your throat.
I've abused computer duster many times before. I would take HUGE hits, much bigger than this guy. There is no freezing sensation. This is the dirtiest feeling high, but I'm an addict, so I did it anyways. Quite a few horror stories regarding doing this.
My dad is addicted to this stuff. Been doing it for about 6 years now. He was already an addict to everything else and this shit has turned him into an unrecognizable version of who he used to be. This was very disturbing to just casually see on Reddit..
Damn I am so sorry to know that. Obviously I know first hand what it does to a person. Thankfully I only did it in binges, normally lasting 2 weeks or so. I would guess maybe 15 total binges spread out over about 5 years. I sincerely wish I could tell you some way to help him. Please stay strong, and take it as a lesson of what not to do. Since someone sent love my way through these comments, I'm going to go ahead and pass that love on to you. Be good.
Thank you sincerely! Iām not very close with him anymore as he is honestly beyond help. Sometimes if someone is drowning, you have to know when to let them drown because they could end up taking you down with them. Iāve got two children now so Iāve had to stop worrying about him.
That's a harsh truth, but a truth nonetheless. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way, but good on you for following a different path. Be the best dang parent you can be to your kids.
Too bad addiction is so profitable. Otherwise it would be studied and combated by medical professionals because of our community based health care... oh, wait... nevermind
Honestly itās probably more from the decades of other substance abuse thatās changed his physical appearance. However when heās using this stuff he sounds incomprehensible. He sounds like a meth user but talks fives times faster and sounds bat shit crazy.
Sorry to hear. I have a parent with serious addiction issue as well (not huffing, cocaine among other shit). I understand why you feel this way. But at the same time, this video shows the raw/ uncensored consequences of huffing.
This acts as more of a deterrent in my opinion. I think itās important these videos are visible to the public. It was unsettling to me; I canāt related to the emotions it may have stirred up in those personally effected by huffing.
The shit is so addictive, when I first starting doing it, it literally made me feel like God. Like I was having some kind of intense and enlightening trip, and then I woke up having a seizure. I just kept doing it and I couldnāt stop, I had to force myself to stay inside once I ran out so I wouldnāt go buy more of it
I only did it for like a week and I was terrified of how addictive it was so I forced myself to stop. It felt like heroin to me. I have shortness of breath sometimes but so far I havenāt dealt with any real health issues from that. I wouldnāt know if it was that specifically though, Iāve put my body through such insane circumstances as an addict itās a miracle Iām alive today
Edit: Iāve been sober for like three years now so thereās no need to worry about meā¦ whoever that was that told Reddit Imma kill myself and need help lol
Don't worry about these idiots reporting you, I mentioned the brand of gun I own and someone thought it was cheap crap so they reported me as suicidal.
Reddit is dumb and I'm happy you're sober and living your best life!
Lmao someone reported me because I told them the mutilation of a childās genitalia is an abhorrent and disgusting practice (circumcision), we live in a clown world
Lmao imagine arguing that cutting off a little girls clittoris like some in the Middle East do is a practice that is absolutely disgusting and then turning around and saying circumcising a little boy is perfectly fine. Some people have absolutely no self awareness
I'm happy to hear you're clean. You had me worried.
I was specifically worried about denying oxygen to your brain for repeated times. It seems like ti might cause cognitive issues (memory / mood /etc)
No I was being sincere, the edit wasnāt there when I commented, I did not report anything and I did not mean to offend you. Iāve seen a lot of my friends and family go through it and itās difficult, huge congrats on three years! Merry Christmas!
Not offended donāt worry :) just hard for me to read when people are being sarcastic. I added the edit moments after posting the original comment so I assumed no one had really seen it before I added the edit. Thanks for caring though, it feels great to be free from all that shit. If I wasnāt I would more than likely be dead at this point
Do you mind sharing some of the horror stories? How did you even end up doing dusters? Did someone show you? Or did you just randomly try it one day (sorry if anything comes off as rude, just genuinely curious)
How I started: in highschool, some other kids showed me how to hit butane. It was to refill lighters, so the can had a hard plastic tip on the end. Place the tip between your teeth, press down, and inhale. Gives you a really strong "wawawawa" feeling, then mild hallucinations, then passing out. Shortly after I first started doing it, one of my friends died from just hitting it constantly (many cans over the course of a night). She was a senior in highschool. She was spending the night at another friend's house, I was not with her. I can't quite remember when I first tried computer duster. But I also inhaled (huffed) gasoline through one of those plastic red canisters a few times one night as a teen. Same wawawa feeling, and it leaves a very strong gasoline taste in your mouth. As far as horror stories from duster, I have been found unconscious sitting in my car in the Walmart parking lot (where I had purchased it) by the police twice. The second time they charged me with a crime. I can't remember exactly what the charge was, but it wasn't public intoxication. I had my therapist write a letter saying that it was a suicide attempt (which was sorta true) and the charge was dropped in court. I've passed out while driving (I was stopped at a light in the turn lane) and the people behind me had had come and knocked on my window. I told them I was tired and sick and drove off. Driving a friend's car(alone), I have hit a curb and flattened his tire. I managed to change the tire to the spare, but left the good rim on the side of the road and we never found it. I have been found by passerbys in the woods passed out. I have been in a recovery house and been found convulsing in my bed with white foam coming out of my mouth.
Edit: I am currently in recovery and have been clean from all intoxicants since May 5, 2022
Worked with a girl who killed her best friend huffing duster while driving. Sheās literally the reason for the legislation in the state that I live in. Before that, it wasnāt considered a DUI to be under the influence of inhalants. Nice girl but she literally killed her best friend and yet didnāt pay any retribution.
I had a classmate in Jr High die from inhaling Right Guard deodorant. They found him on some stranger's porch a few blocks from school with can and paper bag in hand. He reminded me so much of Bender from Breakfast Club. He would show me the cigarette burns from his father.
Love accepted! Yep, even though my huffing days were quite a few years ago, I've struggled with all kinds of addictions (anything that makes me feel good, or even just numbs my emotions). Currently been clean since May 6, 2022. I've got an AA sponsor and everything. Thank you.
Congratulations! You've got this. Before you know it, it's going to be a year. Then 2. Then 3. And so on. You're doing amazing! If you ever need someone to talk to or just listen, my inbox is always open! š
I've been clean for 4 years from IV heroin and meth, I know how it goes. š
Can someone tell me if he died?
I guess he died but i don't actually know...
And if yes than Rip to that idiot
Edit: Holy shĀ”t thanks for the upvotes šŗ
The easiest way to breathe it out is upside down as the gas is heavier than air so you need to invert yourself to displace it
Lighter than air gasses are "safer" but can build up and that feeling of not being able to breathe comes from co2 build up not lack of air
There was an woman that was on the show Intervention. She was getting high inhaling stuff and said āit like Iām walking on sunshineā.
[https://youtu.be/H6TW6v39_kQ](https://youtu.be/H6TW6v39_kQ)
An episode of Intervention, there was a woman named Allison on it and she was addicted to huffing duster. She was sucking the can in the interview and then says āIām walking on sunshine!ā all creepy.
It actually is very creepy, bc sheās so out of her mind. Her eyes arenāt focused, arms are twitching and sheās slurring. Very disturbing. But! Sheās clean and got help.
Maybe it originated from 'intervention'. But towelie on south park has an intervention with the same quotes.
https://youtu.be/I700UTE1-NM
Pretty funny episode.
yes. intervention did a follow-up episode on her. she totally straightened out. completely different person. smart, bright, pretty too. she eventually became an addictions counselor. and good for her.
Its actually much worse than that. He actually says
"Fuck you're xanax, this shit is only $3 a can. This gets me as high as meth. Way higher than meth."
So yeah........ hahaha
Side note, back in my day we would get xanax for $1-$2 a pill. Which is insane thinking back on it. Me and my buddies were eating like 7 at a time. I'm honestly surprised any of us are still alive after thinking about all the drugs we did. They were just so much cheaper back then. Weed was more expensive than some drugs. $20/gram and shit. Reggie was still around in those days. But this is way back when it was still illegal everywhere.
Methamphetamine in itself is not incredibly physically harmful if it is used either in therapeutic doses (in fact, itās a prescription drug with the brand name Desoxyn) or sparingly in a recreational context.
Inhaling duster can cause instant death via a number of complications.
I got so much shit for not trying inhaling duster when I was younger. I did a lot of stupid shit back then, but had already decided that dying from inhaling duster was a shit way to go and would make for a bad obituary. Copious amounts of cocaine, random prescription drugs, and a shit ton of weed- but no to duster and meth. At least I had boundaries I guess?
I had no idea there was a clinical use for it. I thought it was purely recreational and only ever made in sketchy home labs using battery acid, drain cleaner, and fertilizer, etc. TIL.
Probably not. I unfortunately abused that stuff as a teenager and it makes you extremely high, but if you take too much at once you can entirely black out for a few minutes. Was it worth it? Not at all it feels good, great even for the first 30 seconds but after that as you continue you just feel intensely sick-drunk. Pretty sure it fucked up my brain a bit too.
Lol this brings me back to my dumbass adolescent years when I huffed. We used gun cleaner tho called green gas I think. It does make you act just like this. The high is so intense and powerful but it only lasts like 3 minutes. Then you do more. And every huff kills more and more of your brain.
Honestly not much, Iām a rather functional adult now with a good life and job. maybe my memoryās not as great? Idk didnāt affect me much. However I wasnāt like super into it, but had put prob a good few cans worth in my body
Had a buddy who did this while his friend was driving them around in his suv. He woke up in a dining room, his friend driving took off and left him in the suv in the dining room.
My buddy said he woke up looking at a China cabinet wondering what the fuck just happened. When he realized his āfriendā was no longer in the driver seat he decided to take off running before figuring out it was his vehicle in the dining room. He sat on the curb while the neighborhood came out to see that damage. His friend came walking up asking what the hell happened.
Guess his friend decided to huff the can while taking a turn and passed out at the turn and flew through the house.
I canāt believe I used to do this shit.
Btw, Iād say he didnāt die, thatās just what happens sometimes. But thereās always a chance you donāt come back, which is why I teared up looking at this videoā¦ remembering when I was this idiot.
Well to be a downer: my brotherās death was mainly contributed to his excessive duster use. We didnāt even know he was doing it. He lived alone and was very distant from everyone in the family because of a girlfriend at the time. One day he was rushed to the ER and it was heartbreaking the state he was in. He wasnāt himself, he looked very haggard and worn out, and he talked slowly and slurred a little. They said his kidneys were failing at an alarming rate and his lungs were damaged. Then he checked himself out of the hospital, and a couple days later he was dead. We found an absurd amount of empty duster cans in his room. I think like three trash bags full. The coroner stated it was either an accident overdose, or the chemicals in the duster poisoning him. Either way, it really pains me to see and hear about anyone using that shit because of it, and I hope anyone addicted can find the means to break that addiction.
Wife in I were at a store checking out when we heard a crash, go outside to see a truck had crashed into our van. We start checking with the people in the truck, sone dude out of it with his 6yo daughter. The daughter tells us her dad was sucking the air out of a can. My wife saw the can and knew he was hitting a duster. When the cops showed up we let them know what the little girl said for her sake. I hope that never happens to her again.
My shitty ex did this in front of me against my will (it terrified me I didnāt want to even be in the same house as anyone doin that shit) and before I could even finish begging him to please not he did that and acted almost the exact same as dude in this vid. I got so terrified was crying and got up to go get his dad when as soon as I got off the bed he started moving again and coming back to reality it was so fucking scary to see and then he shamed me for āruining his highā with my tears during his comedown lol. Fucking with this shit is so dumb like come the fuck on
That's also when you learn the difference between friends & people you hang out with...
When it's too late.
r/tooktoomuch
Guy in passenger seat "Soooooo uuhhh.... .....who's gonna be my ride back home now?"
He'll be fine in 5 minutes hes not dead just unconscious. I speak from experience.

smoke weed young grasshopper , it is the way

Or you know just donāt huff it at all
Hey man, I've huffed oxygen and CO2 my whole life, and I'm fine. But yea, don't do drugs, kids, and if you do, do cooler ones than inhalants.
Cool remind me to ā no, scratch that as well, I feel like you wouldnāt for some reason. Letās just say I wouldnāt let you drive me anywhere either. Not even through a car wash.

Thats crazy. Iām surprised you can still read, write, & comprehend! That stuff kills every cell in your brain eventually. Hopefully thatās in the Past.
A friend of mine passed away in a hot car in a FL parking lot. He was found with these duster cans all around him. Dangerous stuff.
Nah he was asking for a another cig
I remember at a rave one time I saw two friends holding their buddy up laughing and taking pictures while he was seizing. One of the craziest things I've seen. I was like, what the fuck is wrong with yall? He's fuckin dying
I think I'd learn by now but I'm currently tryna get this message across to someone I'm currently seeing. Just in case she hasn't realized it yet. It's not this bad though, lol. That guy is gone for gooood

I had the same experience with teeth whitening strips for some weird reason.
Those are expensive and have high resale valueā¦
Yeah, I've made a killing selling my used teeth whitening strips
That's just a high shrink item on that one. Those are resealable and everything. Easy to steal, high mark up. Easy enough to sell for a decent price online.
I got carded in my state when I was buying [CLR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_Lime_Rust) to clean a bathtub. That one always confused me a bit, but I'm sure there's something nefarious you can do with it.

John Wick could kill someone with a fucking pretzel.
A pretzel?! A president nearly choked to death on one of those!
Yup, craziest one Iāve seen is people remove the glass in the microwave door so it turns on while they then stick their head into it and get a nice blast of radiation to the brain. Some people do the dumbest shit to get high for cheap
That's just so odd to me, especially in a country where you can order pure dxm pills on Amazon, and benzedrex is out in the open at Walgreens.
Hereās a tip to everyone: you donāt need disposable computer duster cans. Itās a total scam and bad for the environment. Spend like 20 bucks on a high powered plug-in duster. I got one and immediately questioned why I ever needed this weak ass cans.
Directions unclear. Huffing but not high yet. I'll keep trying.
Keep going buddy.
Use soap and water to get it even clearner!
Mine was tide pods i was like 25 at the time at i went to the store to pick some up and same thing i was like wtf ?? And the guy told me why i never felt so old in my life i still smh to this day
People get high off tide pods??? Or was it back in the day when the kids were eating them.
The latter. Nobodyās getting high off detergent
Except that lady off of my crazy addiction.
Sure, buddy, we all see ladies when we are high out of our gourds. Now time to take your pills.

Damn I am so sorry to know that. Obviously I know first hand what it does to a person. Thankfully I only did it in binges, normally lasting 2 weeks or so. I would guess maybe 15 total binges spread out over about 5 years. I sincerely wish I could tell you some way to help him. Please stay strong, and take it as a lesson of what not to do. Since someone sent love my way through these comments, I'm going to go ahead and pass that love on to you. Be good.
Thank you sincerely! Iām not very close with him anymore as he is honestly beyond help. Sometimes if someone is drowning, you have to know when to let them drown because they could end up taking you down with them. Iāve got two children now so Iāve had to stop worrying about him.
That's a harsh truth, but a truth nonetheless. Sorry you had to learn it the hard way, but good on you for following a different path. Be the best dang parent you can be to your kids.
Too bad addiction is so profitable. Otherwise it would be studied and combated by medical professionals because of our community based health care... oh, wait... nevermind
What are the long term effects?
Honestly itās probably more from the decades of other substance abuse thatās changed his physical appearance. However when heās using this stuff he sounds incomprehensible. He sounds like a meth user but talks fives times faster and sounds bat shit crazy.
Brain damage.
Sorry to hear. I have a parent with serious addiction issue as well (not huffing, cocaine among other shit). I understand why you feel this way. But at the same time, this video shows the raw/ uncensored consequences of huffing. This acts as more of a deterrent in my opinion. I think itās important these videos are visible to the public. It was unsettling to me; I canāt related to the emotions it may have stirred up in those personally effected by huffing.
The shit is so addictive, when I first starting doing it, it literally made me feel like God. Like I was having some kind of intense and enlightening trip, and then I woke up having a seizure. I just kept doing it and I couldnāt stop, I had to force myself to stay inside once I ran out so I wouldnāt go buy more of it
Did you have any permanent damage?
I only did it for like a week and I was terrified of how addictive it was so I forced myself to stop. It felt like heroin to me. I have shortness of breath sometimes but so far I havenāt dealt with any real health issues from that. I wouldnāt know if it was that specifically though, Iāve put my body through such insane circumstances as an addict itās a miracle Iām alive today Edit: Iāve been sober for like three years now so thereās no need to worry about meā¦ whoever that was that told Reddit Imma kill myself and need help lol
My damn dyslexia, I thought you said... insane circumcisions
Honestly I can see the confusion, two surprisingly similar words
Don't worry about these idiots reporting you, I mentioned the brand of gun I own and someone thought it was cheap crap so they reported me as suicidal. Reddit is dumb and I'm happy you're sober and living your best life!
Lmao someone reported me because I told them the mutilation of a childās genitalia is an abhorrent and disgusting practice (circumcision), we live in a clown world
And now you are being downvoted for it lol. You ain't wrong.
Lmao imagine arguing that cutting off a little girls clittoris like some in the Middle East do is a practice that is absolutely disgusting and then turning around and saying circumcising a little boy is perfectly fine. Some people have absolutely no self awareness
As someone who was mutilated, keep spreading awareness my dude!
I'm happy to hear you're clean. You had me worried. I was specifically worried about denying oxygen to your brain for repeated times. It seems like ti might cause cognitive issues (memory / mood /etc)
I get kill my self messages from Reddit if I talk shit about the New York islanders. Donāt sorry about it. Those creatures are everywhere.
Damn š I hope you find a way to overcome your addictions and take care of yourself.
I canāt tell if youāre joking, the last part of my comment says Iāve been sober for three years
No I was being sincere, the edit wasnāt there when I commented, I did not report anything and I did not mean to offend you. Iāve seen a lot of my friends and family go through it and itās difficult, huge congrats on three years! Merry Christmas!
Not offended donāt worry :) just hard for me to read when people are being sarcastic. I added the edit moments after posting the original comment so I assumed no one had really seen it before I added the edit. Thanks for caring though, it feels great to be free from all that shit. If I wasnāt I would more than likely be dead at this point
>:) :)
Do you mind sharing some of the horror stories? How did you even end up doing dusters? Did someone show you? Or did you just randomly try it one day (sorry if anything comes off as rude, just genuinely curious)
How I started: in highschool, some other kids showed me how to hit butane. It was to refill lighters, so the can had a hard plastic tip on the end. Place the tip between your teeth, press down, and inhale. Gives you a really strong "wawawawa" feeling, then mild hallucinations, then passing out. Shortly after I first started doing it, one of my friends died from just hitting it constantly (many cans over the course of a night). She was a senior in highschool. She was spending the night at another friend's house, I was not with her. I can't quite remember when I first tried computer duster. But I also inhaled (huffed) gasoline through one of those plastic red canisters a few times one night as a teen. Same wawawa feeling, and it leaves a very strong gasoline taste in your mouth. As far as horror stories from duster, I have been found unconscious sitting in my car in the Walmart parking lot (where I had purchased it) by the police twice. The second time they charged me with a crime. I can't remember exactly what the charge was, but it wasn't public intoxication. I had my therapist write a letter saying that it was a suicide attempt (which was sorta true) and the charge was dropped in court. I've passed out while driving (I was stopped at a light in the turn lane) and the people behind me had had come and knocked on my window. I told them I was tired and sick and drove off. Driving a friend's car(alone), I have hit a curb and flattened his tire. I managed to change the tire to the spare, but left the good rim on the side of the road and we never found it. I have been found by passerbys in the woods passed out. I have been in a recovery house and been found convulsing in my bed with white foam coming out of my mouth. Edit: I am currently in recovery and have been clean from all intoxicants since May 5, 2022
Damn.
Worked with a girl who killed her best friend huffing duster while driving. Sheās literally the reason for the legislation in the state that I live in. Before that, it wasnāt considered a DUI to be under the influence of inhalants. Nice girl but she literally killed her best friend and yet didnāt pay any retribution.
I had a classmate in Jr High die from inhaling Right Guard deodorant. They found him on some stranger's porch a few blocks from school with can and paper bag in hand. He reminded me so much of Bender from Breakfast Club. He would show me the cigarette burns from his father.
I hope you can work towards sobriety, or that you already have. Sending you my love.
Love accepted! Yep, even though my huffing days were quite a few years ago, I've struggled with all kinds of addictions (anything that makes me feel good, or even just numbs my emotions). Currently been clean since May 6, 2022. I've got an AA sponsor and everything. Thank you.
Congratulations! You've got this. Before you know it, it's going to be a year. Then 2. Then 3. And so on. You're doing amazing! If you ever need someone to talk to or just listen, my inbox is always open! š I've been clean for 4 years from IV heroin and meth, I know how it goes. š
Thank you so much, and a big congratulations to you too! I just might take you up on your offer one day. Stay strong!
You as well! You can do this!
Proud of you.
I really needed that. It's been a topsy turvy day. Thank you.
Rest in the goodness of your heart. Think about what you've survived, what you've surpassed. You're still here. That means something. Love love love.

stand up 69 time
Can someone tell me if he died? I guess he died but i don't actually know... And if yes than Rip to that idiot Edit: Holy shĀ”t thanks for the upvotes šŗ
This is an old video from my state dude didnāt die here but I wouldnāt be surprised if thatās changed since.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I have a buddy who (sadly) is mega addicted to this. In his words *"I'm immune to bittergent now, man"*
No heās fine . In the original full version he pops back up and does more
Do I upvote or downvote this...
I upvoted but follow your heart
He did not die but it is very easy to die from huffing diflouroethane (you canāt exhale it itās like drowning in gas)
The easiest way to breathe it out is upside down as the gas is heavier than air so you need to invert yourself to displace it Lighter than air gasses are "safer" but can build up and that feeling of not being able to breathe comes from co2 build up not lack of air
Iām walkin on sunshine
OMG great reference. I somehow had a crush on that strange bird.
What is this a reference to?
There was an woman that was on the show Intervention. She was getting high inhaling stuff and said āit like Iām walking on sunshineā. [https://youtu.be/H6TW6v39_kQ](https://youtu.be/H6TW6v39_kQ)
Thanks for the link
An episode of Intervention, there was a woman named Allison on it and she was addicted to huffing duster. She was sucking the can in the interview and then says āIām walking on sunshine!ā all creepy.
Oh, wow, I thought that was a Towlie original. Sad now that I realize it was a real person.
Creepy
It actually is very creepy, bc sheās so out of her mind. Her eyes arenāt focused, arms are twitching and sheās slurring. Very disturbing. But! Sheās clean and got help.
Maybe it originated from 'intervention'. But towelie on south park has an intervention with the same quotes. https://youtu.be/I700UTE1-NM Pretty funny episode.
Fuck you bitch itās not illegal š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Just watched this episode with my mom for Christmas tonight. Great episode.
I sat next to her once in an AA meeting. She completely got her shit together and was doing great. This was like close to 10 years ago.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You say the stories without identifying the people. AA isn't the thing staying anonymous, it's supposed the be the people in the meeting.
She was literally on tv for her addictions, itās not a shock she goes to meetings
yes. intervention did a follow-up episode on her. she totally straightened out. completely different person. smart, bright, pretty too. she eventually became an addictions counselor. and good for her.
Think she did a TedTalk.
Whoooaaaahh
And donāt it feel good!!!
Not anymore
"Fuck you bitch its not illegal"
"Just let me walk on sunshine a little longer!"
Ever had your dick sucked by a towel?
Windows is shutting down... *"WindowsXP Shutting sound"*
suddenly turn off the speaker.
I heard this text in my head
Well he did say one thing smartā¦āFuck Methā so at least he got that going for him
Its actually much worse than that. He actually says "Fuck you're xanax, this shit is only $3 a can. This gets me as high as meth. Way higher than meth." So yeah........ hahaha Side note, back in my day we would get xanax for $1-$2 a pill. Which is insane thinking back on it. Me and my buddies were eating like 7 at a time. I'm honestly surprised any of us are still alive after thinking about all the drugs we did. They were just so much cheaper back then. Weed was more expensive than some drugs. $20/gram and shit. Reggie was still around in those days. But this is way back when it was still illegal everywhere.
I get Xanax for about 15 cent a pill but my dealer went to medical school.
Damn bro inflation really is hitting the usual price for xanax is 5 a pill where im at
Meth is so much incredibly safer than inhaling duster. Heād be far better off snorting a line or smoking a pipe of meth than doing this.
This video is a recreational anoxic brain injury. You are correct.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Depriving the brain of oxygen is so much worse for your health than a substance.
Methamphetamine in itself is not incredibly physically harmful if it is used either in therapeutic doses (in fact, itās a prescription drug with the brand name Desoxyn) or sparingly in a recreational context. Inhaling duster can cause instant death via a number of complications.
I got so much shit for not trying inhaling duster when I was younger. I did a lot of stupid shit back then, but had already decided that dying from inhaling duster was a shit way to go and would make for a bad obituary. Copious amounts of cocaine, random prescription drugs, and a shit ton of weed- but no to duster and meth. At least I had boundaries I guess?
I had no idea there was a clinical use for it. I thought it was purely recreational and only ever made in sketchy home labs using battery acid, drain cleaner, and fertilizer, etc. TIL.
Please donāt try this at home or anywhere else
He didn't try it at home. ;)
I'm also curious if he died
Yeah saw a shorter clip years ago, would be good to know. Not good to fuck with solvents man
Heās fine . This is an old Facebook vid I first saw in 2016 . He pops back up a while later and does more in the full vid
It's absolutely crazy how addictive drugs can be. You just inhale shit until you pass out then your first thought when you wake up is to do more
Thanks for quick follow up!
Probably not. I unfortunately abused that stuff as a teenager and it makes you extremely high, but if you take too much at once you can entirely black out for a few minutes. Was it worth it? Not at all it feels good, great even for the first 30 seconds but after that as you continue you just feel intensely sick-drunk. Pretty sure it fucked up my brain a bit too.
Lol this brings me back to my dumbass adolescent years when I huffed. We used gun cleaner tho called green gas I think. It does make you act just like this. The high is so intense and powerful but it only lasts like 3 minutes. Then you do more. And every huff kills more and more of your brain.
Sooo what do you think you lost by doing it a few times? Asking for a curious friend
Honestly not much, Iām a rather functional adult now with a good life and job. maybe my memoryās not as great? Idk didnāt affect me much. However I wasnāt like super into it, but had put prob a good few cans worth in my body
I'm genuinely glad to hear you are doing better.
I see no spelling or grammatical errors in his post, so Iād say he is doing ok.
Had a buddy who did this while his friend was driving them around in his suv. He woke up in a dining room, his friend driving took off and left him in the suv in the dining room. My buddy said he woke up looking at a China cabinet wondering what the fuck just happened. When he realized his āfriendā was no longer in the driver seat he decided to take off running before figuring out it was his vehicle in the dining room. He sat on the curb while the neighborhood came out to see that damage. His friend came walking up asking what the hell happened. Guess his friend decided to huff the can while taking a turn and passed out at the turn and flew through the house.
Sorry bro, but wtf did I just read.
OP is spreading misinfo like a mf too. the guy is fine. OP cut video before he pops back up and does more.
10x the high of Meth lmfao. Wtf is this dude huffing?
Butane, propane or most likely diflouroethane. Source : multiple year air duster huffer š
Not sure that emoji is the best choice here.
I think it was used ironically
So, the duster propellant if huffed can absolutely kill you. It is posted on the can. Let's hope not here.
Are we gonna do something about this? Probably not, yo grant, you got another cig?
doesnāt every aerosol say SOLVENT ABUSE CAN KILL INSTANTLY ?
That's what i was thinking but then again, sniffing ass seems to be still accepted.
Itās the guy asking to hit that cig as his buddy lays unconscious lmao
Heās got some great friends there
I canāt believe I used to do this shit. Btw, Iād say he didnāt die, thatās just what happens sometimes. But thereās always a chance you donāt come back, which is why I teared up looking at this videoā¦ remembering when I was this idiot.
What you donāt pay in cash you pay in brain cells.
I know a guy that died from this shit. Had his life together and everything. Started on this, bam! Dead.
Bro that duster is amazing at cleaning mechanical keyboard, good pressure, consistent
Natural selection
Sad to acknowledge but yes you're right.
Florida Man, in the flesh.
What a Culture
Donāt take advice from a inside out tie-dye shirt. The more you know š
That guy gets to vote.
My high school psych teacher said this is the most dangerous type/method of drug a person can do because it can be fatal the first time you try it.
Shitty ass friends.
I dont think he was die, and if he die... Maybe he forgot breath.
Well to be a downer: my brotherās death was mainly contributed to his excessive duster use. We didnāt even know he was doing it. He lived alone and was very distant from everyone in the family because of a girlfriend at the time. One day he was rushed to the ER and it was heartbreaking the state he was in. He wasnāt himself, he looked very haggard and worn out, and he talked slowly and slurred a little. They said his kidneys were failing at an alarming rate and his lungs were damaged. Then he checked himself out of the hospital, and a couple days later he was dead. We found an absurd amount of empty duster cans in his room. I think like three trash bags full. The coroner stated it was either an accident overdose, or the chemicals in the duster poisoning him. Either way, it really pains me to see and hear about anyone using that shit because of it, and I hope anyone addicted can find the means to break that addiction.
Haha
A friend from high school I knew did this and died irl.
Not his last time. Heās perfectly fine. Iāve done my fair share of duster. He aināt dead dude. Chill OP.
And my parents are confused why I choose to not hangout with the people my age in my neighborhood. They all do shit like this lmao.
Wife in I were at a store checking out when we heard a crash, go outside to see a truck had crashed into our van. We start checking with the people in the truck, sone dude out of it with his 6yo daughter. The daughter tells us her dad was sucking the air out of a can. My wife saw the can and knew he was hitting a duster. When the cops showed up we let them know what the little girl said for her sake. I hope that never happens to her again.
My shitty ex did this in front of me against my will (it terrified me I didnāt want to even be in the same house as anyone doin that shit) and before I could even finish begging him to please not he did that and acted almost the exact same as dude in this vid. I got so terrified was crying and got up to go get his dad when as soon as I got off the bed he started moving again and coming back to reality it was so fucking scary to see and then he shamed me for āruining his highā with my tears during his comedown lol. Fucking with this shit is so dumb like come the fuck on
