I'm just happy there are people taking the time to get involved with things like this. It's easy to say, "What's the big deal?" The big deal is, this inhaler is just another way for our children to get high-much more quickly and dangerously. They are not even satisfied with drinking anymore, now they just want to breathe their way into drunkenness. I consider that to be a big deal.

Ms. Charlotte, there are lots of other ways for our kids to get high, non of which are regulated at all. Instead we have an archaic "war on drugs" that we have been losing for decades because most of it is based on misinformation and lies. IMO, I see this as a waste of time that could be used to reach out to kids who are either on or being tempted by illegal drugs and legal alcohol on a daily basis.

'This' being this forum or 'this' being protesting these inhalers?

Also, there's no legal alcohol for kids. Just an FYI.

And I respect your opinion. I see it more as a refusal to be complacent about our youth, and I applaud that.

Really? I'm calling the wife now to have her take away the sippy-cup of wine from my lush of a 2 year old!

I meant, quite obviously I might add, that alcohol is legal in this country, not that it was legal for kids to drink it.

Thanks! I truly am not trying to be a jerk about it, just stating it as I see it. I admit that there is slim possibility that I could maybe be slightly wrong.

I thought mods were never wrong (even maybe slightly)
