Um, what's so great about sniffing gasoline?

Presumably about the same as sniffing glue, although probably a lot more toxic.

When I lived in the SW about 15 years ago, this was just becoming popular among the Navajo kids. A dozen of them could stay high all day on a quart of gas. Got to admit it's a lot cheaper and more available than most drugs.

Yes, if you have ever attended a pow-wow you can witness first hand what goes on at the reservation. There is a lot of addiction. A few Indians are brain damaged beyond repair and continue to sniff glue and paint. At no less a pow-wow or celebration of self, they celebrate by slowly killing themselves. Socialism at work.

Sniffing gasoline is absolutely deadly. The many toxic solvents involved, like benzine, will kill anyone if sniffed regularly. Even the gas companies recognize this and you now see warnings about inadvertent sniffing at most gas pumps. We saw some kids in Hawaii that were addicted to gas sniffing and we were told they all had severely damaged brains with no hope of recovery.
