all my life, i have been reading about these people who have gotten high "sniffing glue". i pass those so-called "rugby/solvent boys" on the streets. i have listened to the tales of those guys who, working with contact cement, have apparently "gotten high" breathing air with the stuff.
i decided i needed first-hand information.
:: day one - cherry popping...not! ::
i needed to stick aluminum foil onto the underside of my bike for heat insulation. i was told to use contact cement ("rugby" or "do-all" brand glue) to hold the foil in place.
so. job done, underside insulated. but i am nearly out of the contact cement...what little that is left isn't enough to pour out of the bottle. what to do?
answer: hold the bottle and sniff.
which was what i did.
after about 15 minutes of sniffing the bottle, i decided to give it up. i wasn't going to get high, i was just going to get me a serious kulangot problem. :)) all i got myself was fucked-up motor skills...but i was still thinking straight.
imagine walking like you were drunk but were conscious that you were walking like you were...drunk.
what a load of crap!
:: day two - this might be it ::
the rubber foot i attached to the chassis of my bike to keep the center stand from rubbing against the rear tire kept slipping off...and needed replacing. so, i got a new rubber foot, and some glue.
*see the lightbulb?*
after the repair was done, i took some glue, and i poured some into a plastic bag the way i've seen those boys do it.
*singhot! singhot! singhot! singhot!*
20 minutes into it, i quit.
this is sooo stupid. this is sooo fucked up.
i don't think anyone ever got high on glue.
so there you have it, folks. first-hand testing was done, and we have proven that glue-sniffers...are all a bunch of fucking liars.
YOU CANNOT GET HIGH SNIFFING GLUE.
i'm trying the solvent used to attach pvc pipes together next. i have a plumbing job coming up. will post results of the testing done. ;)
