Where did you get your information?

Of course, the poison is in the dose. But this tidbit from Psychology 6th Edition, Worth Publishers, 2014 gave me pause: "Inhalants are chemical substances that are inhaled to produce an alteration in consciousness... Although psychoactive inhalants do not have a common chemical structure, they generally act as central nervous system depressants. At low doses, they may cause relaxation and reduced inhibitions. But at higher doses. many inhaled substances are toxic to the liver and other organs. Chronic abuse also leads to neurological and brain damage. One study compared cognitive functioning in cocaine and inhalant abusers. Both groups scored well below the normal population, but inhalant users scored even below the cocaine abusers on problem solving and memory tests. MRI scans showed that the inhalant users also had more extensive brain damage than the cocaine users (Mathias, 2002, Rosenberg & others, 2002.)"

So, nothing specific to poppers....you' re extrapolating from some information about inhalants in general.

That makes me think you want us to believe your undies were securely fastened to your body, and not ready to come off at a moments notice :)

 

Ok you've talked me into it. Let's do some poppers together when you're in Portland.
