YouTube has multi-part videos from the show Intervention featuring Allison from Katrina and the Waves. It seems she became a 10 can a day huffer. Her high of choice - the cans used to dust computers and keyboards ::) Here's a little montage footage of highlights set to what I think was their only hit
Walking on Sunshine.

I had a six pack of that stuff once. It went missing. Someone close to me might be a huffer.
When I was 16 or so I had a friend who used to be an AC repair dude and we would occasionally huff freyon at parties...talk about some crazy shit.
At a resturaunt I worked at at the time they had a cleaner called Sheila Shine, for cleaning Stainlees Steel counter tops. We discovered it's awesome mind bboggline abilities which included strange audio effects and such. I started collecting perfume sample bottles and bottling the shit up and selling it (of course not revealing what it actually was) for $5 a bottle. People all over riverside were buying the shit out of it all summer that year.
Then I once had a really good friend who got addicted, actually addicted to carburator cleaner. he messed up his life on that shit. no Cocaine, not heroin, not meth, just frichen carburator cleaner. he huffed the shit out of it. Dude was a gifted drummer, had a super fine fiance, very popular dude, and he threw it all away preferring to spray that shit into a bag and huff it.
My little bro used to be a butane huffer til I beat his ass for it. He was 14!
I got over huffing Freyon really quick, it was a little experiment that seemed cool for a few weeks, but it was obvious that it ws doing very bad things to my brain and probably lungs too.
For a few years in the late 80's and early 90's I did go on a "give me any drug and ill take it" kind of trip. I was eatin a lot of pills, smoking dope and snorting shit. Someone in a band we did some shows with introduced me to whippits!! I used to love taking a big hit of crippy bud and following it up wit a whippit, until one day I thought I exploaded a lung doing it. I took a huge hit off this drummers 3 foot bong, chased it with a whippit, and felt like I took a a round from a Desert Eagle in the chest. Last time I ever used an inhalant.

You mean I can stop if I wanted. :D
Wow howie that response was as if from one who has first hand experience.
:) :) puffed up a storm. Never huffed though.
i hit some dust off around 84, it was the new thing. ::) im glad i never got into it on a regular basis like my buddies. I also did a ton of whippits(nitrious oxide) those were fun. i cant imagine why the hell i did such stupid moronic stuff. i think peer pressure had a lot to do with it but damn huffing? dumb.

Thanks for the name, Craigbert.

What was you puffin'??? :D I'd use my two days delete privileges on that one. Oops!, too late for that, it's been captured.
So we have a huffer and a puffer. I saw a WOLF on another thread.
Or maybe DTR is a puff? :D
Going by that video it appears that most dangerous side effect is you end up getting violently arrested by the cops for inhaling household goods ?
Which can't be right :)
What was you puffin'???
It's no secret that I used to smoke weed in my younger days. 8-)

He was puffin' Mark's skin flute. Then he stopped and that's why Mark's not around here anymore, he feels neglected (maybe Randy could help him out?). ;)
ouch. ;D
Nope, never played the skin flute.
I leave that to the professionals. ;D
Randy
