Teen Faces Public Intoxication Charge

From The Des Moines Register in Iowa

Last week Iowa State University police found a 13-year-old girl unconscious after she had ‘huffed’ the contents of an aerosol can. Police arrived on the scene after receiving reports of a publically intoxicated teen displaying “unusual behavior” in a residential neighborhood, Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses told police that the girl had passed out prior to their arrival, and had been unconscious for quite some time. Investigators recovered an empty aerosol can from the scene. The teen was taken to a nearby medical center for treatment and will be expected to appear in juvenile court facing charges of “delinquency for public intoxication.”

Students to Recieve Huffing Lessons

From The Popculture Phrasebook, Tuesday, June 24th 2008

British students will get 'gas huffing' lessons in a bid to cut deaths as a result of asphyxiation. New legislation from government will see 13-18 year old pupils receiving instruction on how to get high on gas safely, minimizing risk to their health while maximizing their highs.

In a bid to half the deaths from the popular teenage pursuit of aerosol sniffing, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has ordered school leaders to educate pupils on how best to consume the intoxicants. He wants drug education to mirror sex education, and likens unwanted teen pregnancies to unwanted teenage deaths.

"Teens don't want their young lives ruined by something as petty as death - just as they don't want to fall pregnant before they've had a chance to sniff the beautiful flower of teenage life…”
–Gordon Brown
