I know the drug user often starts in adolescence. I'm not trying to scream 'Why Lord?' as to the motivation for kids to get high - it honestly doesn't matter at this point. Nevertheless of the reasoning, it is a symptom of our society's mass mental illness of continual neglect, abuse, and trauma that is perpetuated ad infinitum. Let's all face it - for those of us who started as kids, we did it because deep down we wanted to feel the love we weren't finding in the places we should have been getting it. Adolescent drug use that would become more normalised with the prescription antidepressants/anxiolytic/ADHD meds which everyone seems to have nowadays.
Back when I was sixteen and first started getting high, it was years after the infamous xandemic. Fentanyl was rumoured to have been found in almost everything, from bars to buds to pills and beyond. Obviously everyone was still doing them, but we were still a little cautious with what we did. Furthur rumours about kids who died huffing cans and fucking their organs from doing the benadryl challenge seemed like fairy tales meant to scare us off drugs - I mean, there was even a south park episode spoofing the huffing scare from '08. I always got the impression that anyone who genuinely wanted to huff gas lived in a reserve where all forms of intoxication were completely banned by the tribal council.
Then I started surfing on here and reddit. Maybe this is just sampling bias because this is kind of the hub for feindish activities, but the kind of shit I'm hearing people talk about who are obviously under eighteen is astounding. I understand that on these forums, we are supposed to be non judgmental, and to promote harm reduction over anything else; (a noble principle) I'm sorry but what the fuck? Genuinely how fucking stupid do some of these kids today have to act? Eveybody on God's green goddamned earth knows with every fiber of their being that inhalants are the stupidest most dangerous way to get high EVER. They've been drilling it into our minds since those stupid PSAs in middle school where they explicity say 'inhalants can kill you at anytime, doesn't matter if it's your first or hundredth time'. And fucking benadryl? we already had that bullshit challenge go around TikTok when I was a teen and they were buzzing about the consequances on the news, on schoolboard notices to parents, on social media, everything.
More than that, the internet is literally fucking free. Wikipedia is the easiest damn resource that's two seconds away from anybody anythere who doesn't yet know about Erowid or Pyschonautwiki, (and others) and every single one of these resources says the same fucking thing - that they're terribly poisonous and will fuck you up. Kids these days don't have the excuse 'Oh I didn't know' because you should - or you don't deserve that phone in your pocket that your parents decide to give to you at twelve. I've always had a theory that having more access to information made people dumber because they don't know how to properly use it, and I am right.
I knew a guy back in highschool with a tragic spinout: He wanted to be seen as coo and extreme so bad that he let someone talk him into eating four boxes of bendaryl and was put in a coma for two weeks. He got induced schizophrenia from it and was permanently fucked up aftarwards. He then got into meth and got kicked out from his parents house after they caught him trying to cook in his bathroom and has been living on the streets since. My friends thought he was dumb for all that, but I think the dumbest part was the four boxes of benadryl that he let let somebody else tell him was good to do.
This kind of irresponsible behaviour is actually embarassing. But obviously these kids don't care. If somebody deadass told me in real life that they loved huffing air duster and popping bennies, I would bully the fuck out of them 'till the cows came home. That kind of shit is so goddamn stupid, you should absolutely be embarassed if you have done that kind of shit and talk about it in a non penitental tone. I myself have tried to sniff markers a few times back in the day, and I feel like such a fucking moron, I genuinely think it's a leading reason why I couldn't get good enough grades to do a science degree in college and am a fucking antisocial loser who's too socially retarded to get a girlfriend.
If you're a young adolescent currently in the drug scene, or about to be in the drug scene, I'm fucking begging you; on every God; every philosophical principle; put the goddamned cans down; put the antihistamines back in the container. Smoke weed; drink a shit ton of liquor; shoot smack; smoke crack (not encouraging these things) - do litterally any other fucking thing out there. You can even steal robitussin tablets; I'm twenty-one and that that shit is still like in my top five drugs ever. Everyone thinks its cool to do drugs and live fast fast in the moment, because 'we don't care if we die young' - but it's not so cool when you're living like Jimmy Desanta from GTA 5 without rich parents and you're depressed all the time.
Alas I know I cannot blame the kids, for it is the irresponsible adult world that is the cause of this bullshit. We should be ashamed for not acting like adults when we should be, for thinking only of ourselves and not the perpetual machine of life and society that we must participate in. We're dramatic when we don't need to be; we're selfish when we should be generous; and we neglect those that need our help the most for the sake of our own comfort. Oy motherfuckin Vey.
