"IT'S LIKE I'M WALKING ON SUNSHINE" SAYS THE NANNY NAMED FRAN

She wanted to make sure no one thought it was Sioux, I think. That one moment was weirder than everything that followed.

I'm oddly enough reminded of Bob Saget from Half Baked.

"I've sucked dick for coke. Have you ever sucked dick for Huffers?"

Get a real drug, lady.

After so much brain damage, I can't see how this even gets better save for the fact that apparently her family would take care of her despite the diapers.

The couple things I don't understand though:

She's huffing several of those cans per day, yet living in what looks like a pretty nice apartment apparently by herself. How the hell does this happen?

"It's not illegal, and I'm over eighteen"
But stores have the right to refuse service, and if it were me I'd talk to my manager. It would be irresponsible not to bring it up, she's said she literally has the same person ringing her up day in and day out. If she goes some place else to buy it, fine, but they need to ban her from the store.

yeah, that makes sense, she should think clearly and upgrade her drug.

oh wait, she's huffing, that's right, she's not thinking clearly.

Also I hate the smell of cleaning sprays and always freak out if little droplets are in the air near me when cleaning. I guess I was right to be afraid...yeesh

I used to glue airplane kits with one that contained "Toluene" and just by smelling it I knew this was a horrible chemical. Even before reading the label, warning of fucking brain damage. Turns out I had more sense at age 7 than this fine trollop.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have toluene in it, that's wishful thinking on her part. Toluene is pretty deluxe huffing material. Compressed air is fluorocarbon (similar to Freon), it's just a simple asphyxiant. Drug-wise, it's a step below huffing spraypaint or gasoline, the advantage is being odorless and colorless.

Maybe if she was huffing spraypaint, her family would have done something sooner. They'd certainly have noticed earlier.

No Junk No Soul

Name the great huffer painters and musicians, Binro. Some addicts are awesome.

Barry White used to huff panties.

It's called sexual healing.

Creative people who became addicts were creative well before they started their addictions.

In fact, their work generally deteriorated as the habit took over.

Binro, I know that is comforting to believe, but it isn't actually true.

From Miles Davis to David Bowie, Jackson Pollack to Oscar Wilde, addictions are fantastic for creativity.

Maybe...
I am addicted to caffeine. Does that make me a junky like this girl?

If that were the case, Sean, our alleys would be full of brilliant artists.

You are losing track. You said that there isn't a hierarchy of addicts, when some are clearly awesome and when the awesome ones tend towards the same types of drugs.

You're missing the point, Binro. Drugs don't magically make you creative, but in certain people, they can take the creative spark they had and enhance it to levels they would never have achieved otherwise.

Also, our alleys are full of all kinds of artists. Artists aren't exactly known for being millionaires.

Binro is obviously an ex NA or AA. He found a way to wrap his head around addiction, drugs, and 'reality' and now wants everyone to follow that methodology because he reinforces his way of understanding the world. Still an addict, now just to dogma instead of drugs, weee!

Ok I'm an asshole, sorry :(

I know all kinds of addicts personally. My own sister is one. There is no difference between someone huffing aerosol and someone buying high-quality powder cocaine. An addiction is an addiction. It doesn't matter how much money you spend to get high.

Everyone experiences wild shit when they're high. Artists, by their nature, are better at capturing their own experiences and conveying it to others through various media. Having the talent & skill to capture a drug trip in printed word, on painted canvas or in carved stone doesn't equal creativity.

The vast majority of addicts are trying to self-medicate themselves, usually because of depression. Most artists who "enhance their creativity" with hard drugs wind up like Allison, here. It may well be that those artists who use drugs aren't so much enhancing their creativity as they are self-medicating themselves to the point they are functional and not overwhelmed by mental issues.

Sorry there is a world of difference between a person who smokes pot all day versus the "sunshinnneeee" girl.
You can't just lasso all addictive personalities under one convenient umbrella. I drink a bit, more than I should and to some extent I do consider it an addiction but I also can take care of myself, my family, hold a job and pay the bills. Not looking for a medal here but honestly how many CEOS do you think are out there that have a secret huffing addiction? (besides Mark Cuban)

Binro, you did not gain universal knowledge. There are functional addicts, with jobs and all. Many of them have support structures, such as steady income and the like. Perhaps if you knew people with money?

I'm curious to know where your knowledge comes from, Sean.

Anyway, when you say "functional" addicts, do you mean recreational drug users or genuinely-can't-live-without-the-stuff addicts? I've known both.

I've known people who smoked pot daily, yet they held good jobs, took care of their loved ones and, in general, led regular everyday lives. I've known a few folks who used powder coke as a party drug. I've even known one person who could handle occasional doses of heroin. None of them succumbed to real addiction. Many of them even stopped using altogether, like it was literally just a phase they grew out of.

I've also known real addicts from all sorts of backgrounds, good families, shitty families and everything in between. Just about all of them turned to drugs as a form of escape. Either they were in physical and/or emotional pain, or they just plain felt their lives sucked. They were all of them human beings, though. They were all children once. They all felt pain and joy. They all had the potential to be better than they were.

I just don't understand how people could say a heroin addict is worth more than a huffer, especially when the vast majority of hard drug users don't contribute any more to culture or society than the average alcoholic, huffer or pill-popper.

Binro, you clearly don't want to believe that no person is better than any other. That is retarded. You know a lot of shitty people and thus you think that everyone is shitty.

Actually, I do believe that some people are worth more than others.

Which is why we should judge people as individuals rather than making blanket statements like saying all huffers are worth less than any given crack addict.

To quote a wise man,

"Ran out of Carbona
Mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray too
It's TV's fault why I am this way."

Binro, you better start agreeing. This is heresy.

I think your right though. It's all circumstance as far as what drug we choose to be addicted to, and I don't see the need of a ranking system.

I just feel super sorry for her because she has to miss out on everything now. I know everyone has to take responsibility for their choices, but the results of our choices do that anyways, automatically. Cause and effect.

How can I say it? Like this: Huffers make heroin junkies and cocaine addicts look like Oscar Wilde characters.

It's not as clear cut as "one deserves sympathy, the other deserves scorn" but some drugs make you retarded or crazy and others don't. If opiate users can get a good supply of junk their only problems are constipation, setting their beds on fire and maybe dropping dead. I learned guitar from a guy who I'm pretty sure was a junky.

Portal of Heartless Bastards.

Seriously though, I don't feel very guilty for chuckling. :)

Thank you POE TV:

Forgot to rate. Maybe I shouldn't have dusted my keyboard.

Or who puts that part overlaid on the song by Katrina and the Waves.

And don't it feel good?

From the video it sounds like there was a family split over the molestation so it was probably a family member that was accused. The case was dismissed and it sounds like there was never resolution on whether her sister was molested. Who knows?

Every time she was interviewed and her can-of-air appeared, I made an involuntary laugh.

Or poor. Or black.

Needs the "white people" tag.

I know a Navajo guy who says the last time he was back on the rez the big thing was drinking hair spray, and people were making a ton of money smuggling it in because they couldn't sell it there anymore.

So, I mean, yeah. There's no SHOCKING before-and-after pictures if the addicts are poor and fucked up to begin with, I guess.

Drug addiction to a cleaner for computer part is clearly a First World Problem.

Ok I just tried too. I think my lip has a little bit of frostburn now and there was no high to speak of. What's the deal?

From what I gather, the deal is that what you inhale is not oxygen, but instead a load of tetrafluoroethane/argon/butane/etc. The "high" is basically oxygen deprivation. As well, it's pretty dangerous since some of the gases (argon, for one) are denser than air, which means they're harder to expel by breathing out.

Long story short, if just HAVE to inhale something, inhale nitrous oxide, which won't kill you instantly or leave you brain damaged.

The only thing I found "Ha Ha" funny was visiting the cemetery in Part 2.

It's funny because Cleaner82 is not amused.

You need a hook-up though. Maybe if they sold it at the corner store...

10 cans a day must cost - or so... weed would be cheaper. Hell, you could drink yourself to death on that easy.

You know what? I just watched the whole thing and lost my sympathy, she's a prostitute and she snubbed her grandma in part 4, that shit was heart-breaking. I miss my grandma :(

If I'm not mistaken, the implication is that her SISTER was molested. Her sister as in the one that doesn't huff keyboard cleaner.

This chick is a cunt. She had a bright future and was doing well until some dude introduced her to huffing in college and she never looked back. She can't take responsibility, so she blames her mother for getting a divorce. A divorce? Seriously? That's all you've got?

Likewise, she's accidentally more entertaining than Sarah Silverman. Also her sister looks like that guy from Blink 182, I'd do her too.

My ex also bears a striking resemblance to this very disturbed young woman. She also had some... issues. Not entirely dissimilar to Allison's just not quite as horrifying.

Hooper_X mentioned in a comment on a similar video, about how in movies. Crazy, quirky, art student types are portrayed as these free spirits that teach "nebbishy dorky Jon Stewart'ish"-type guys how to live and love. Yet in reality are complete psychological train wrecks.

I can personally attest to that. As I have fallen into that trap, being a nebbishy dorky type myself.

The sex really doesn't even come close to making up for the perpetual batshit insanity either.

You can't just wander around all day doing Salvia like you can huff computer cleaner. You need a lot of equipment and once you're high on salvia you basically can't do shit all until it wears off in 4 minutes. And you spend those four minutes fighting a black hole that is ripping the parts of you away like the skin of an onion, only the parts are your personality and the black hole is alive.

If you want to be a proper junkie like this shit, salvia is not the drug for you.
