Lawmakers in Tennessee are working to treat driving under the influence of inhalants the same as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Police officers cite a recent case of a man crashing into a bus after inhaling duster.
There has been some confusion over whether or not driving after inhaling should count as a DUI or not.
Oak Ridge Republican Randy McNally says, "I guess there's a question on whether it's actually a drug or not, and this would make it crystal clear that it also includes inhalants that alter the nervous system."
McNally would also like for officers to note when inhalants were involved in a DUI arrest in order to gather data on inhalants' prevalence. He says that if the bill is passed and inhalants are proven to be commonly used, it may push the legislature to help curb the use.
Driving under the influence of an inhalant is by no means a rare occurence, and has been featured in this blog several times:

From the photos, it seems to be in remarkably good condition, considering its age and the abuse that most schools of the modernist period have suffered. A lot of Gillespie Kidd & Coia's schools have been re-clad in tin foil or simply demolished...
