well everything kids can get high on should be highly regulated. except natural stuff like marijuana. or alcohol. or sex-changes. lot of drugs used there. when I was growing up it was survival of the fittest. now survival of the dumbest is the making of YouTube videos. how far do we have to fall? getting worried now

Recall the areas where you can’t buy spray paint under 18 years of age

Didn’t everybody notice the distinctive “marker smell”?

Did anybody think it would get you high?
