Inhalant Abuse is a growing problem in Qatar. The article mentions the widespread abuse of
butane and a firsthand perspective of its effect: “There are a lot of
visuals. At one point, the light in my
car started sucking up objects. I looked back to see where they were going, and
I saw a head floating on a cloud.”
The article also mentions the effects of ethyl chloride, a topical anaesthetic skin refrigerant. "You feel a buzzing sound for about 15 seconds, then euphoria, then calm" and notes that carburetor fluid, has similar effects.

A psychiatrist explains inhalant abuse has " a very deleterious effect on the sinuses. It affects
the neurons; they dilute or dissolve the fats of [cells in] the sinus. We’ve
seen many cases where they develop prolonged psychosis."
