The other day, while out and about, I saw an older person with the telltale silver paint all over their gob. Like a junkie Homer Simpsons 3 o'clock shadow.
It looked ridiculous, and was sad, but the constant "gub gub gub gub" sound they made almost had me in fits. Not laughing at them, just a wild sight to see.
Like they were huffing paint? That's sad.
I saw a video on Reddit of a woman who crashed her car and was high as shit on compressed air or whatever people use for huffing from cans. Something about seeing her hit it every time somebody asked her a question and being so spaced out made me really depressed. Probably the best anti drug ad I've ever seen (even though it wasn't an ad)
I saw a similar one but it was a security guardsomewhere in south america I think. Terrifying stuff
I think I've seen an American security guard doing it too. Addiction is a scary thing, but especially the stuff that's progressively killing people's brains every use until they're too far gone
Yeah, paint huffer. I know gold paint is the best to get 'high' off, and silver is second best. So I guess they only had silver.
I haven't seen a huffer since the late 90s. Crazy that people still do it.
Seen plenty of other drug-addled citizens, but a huffer is a first for me.
They look they they were huffing back in the 90s, tbh
