Mine was in NM. Not sure if it was a legal matter. I can't remember buying paint anywhere besides Walmart to judge that by. But I do remember the register popping up an age verification message just like with alcohol, tobacco.

Also, in regards to huffing. I watched some cops show or something one evening that showed a pair of brothers who had been doing it their whole lives. They were behind a dumpster behind some business, eating rotten food out of it. The paint was spread out all around them. They were emaciated, and incoherent. They were also so high they could not walk to the police cars awaiting to transport them to rehab.

There's no question it messes you up. The high from huffing comes mostly from not getting enough oxygen to the brain, it's apoxia and many fighter pilots can tell you apoxia is pretty fun assuming you get it together before you die. I think what we're seeing is poor desperate addicts who can't afford better (paraphrasing from Richard Kimball, our man in the emergency room). Seems like we're blaming the symptom and hoping it will magically irradicate the problem, not unusual in modern America.
