But how much does that actually happen out in the world?

EVER pass a rowdy group of middle-school students and *wonder* why the area reeks of the smell of strong solvents?

I did here within this last year - on a weekday when school was out. After I had passed by the same residence several times (I was riding a bicycle on a preset course) and noticed the rather *strong* smell of a solvent every time I passed the end of this one block I couldn't figure out WHAT was going on that could produce such strong odors as there were *no* service trucks parked on the street.

On my last pass through the area I encountered a rather boisterous group of youngish teens coming from a residence in the area where that *strong* odor of solvents was coming from ... my theory after thinking about it *afterwards* considering all the facts on what was going on? A 'huffing' party on a day-off from school when the parents weren't home ...

Can't say I've encountered a rowdy group of middle-school students since shortly after I'd have been in that group, a long long time ago.

So I guess the follow-up question would be does your state already put this stuff behind lock and key and has it helped at all?

This could all be location location location. I am in Tucson, we are on one of the major pot pipelines, as I recall from my youth prices were low and supply was excellent. We just might not be a good place for huffers.
