It says this on a Glade Air Freshener spray can I have.


Umm, so how high can teenagers reach?

The teenager is a crafty animal. I lived in a community of teenagers for many years and was able to observe their natural behavior without being spotted. During these years of research I observed them making it to great heights with and without the use of tools. I've even observed them opening locked vessels without a key. If you really want to keep the glade safe, you'll need to build a bunker with a big vault door.

They are to swift for me to get close

They definitely can be. I think the only reason I was able to fit into their group unnoticed was because I happened upon a group of misfits, outcasts, and drug users. They don't seem to be nearly as critical of those around them as most other groups.

I wouldn't worry about that.....they just put that on there because some kids think it's cool to inhale the fumes...and kill their braincells and risk death. So if you have a kid that does that keep it out of their reach otherwise I think most kids don't sniff aerosol fumes or whatever the hell.

Most people educated on the subject will be smart enough to not mess with huffing, but some do. I think one of the main problems is the lies fed to us from an early age about all drugs being life destroying demonic substances. Lots of people end up trying some of these drugs anyway and find that they're not anywhere near as bad as they've been told so they assume the same is true for other things, like aerosols. Big mistake. If they'd just teach the truth from the start, and not ban safe drugs while leaving the ones that are really horrible for you so much more readily available, I believe it wouldn't be that big of a problem.

Teenagers can make potent drugs out of anything.

Dear Mick, You are so right!
Did you know that a few kids actually killed themselves inhaling White-out years ago?
One of the reasons that here in California purchase of spray cans of enamel paint is 18 years and up is (aside from the graffiti), the kids inhale the fumes!

There are many adults who huff paint as well, once on COPS I saw a guy in his 30s that looked twice his age and all his skeletal features were pronounced from malnourishment. When I WAS a teen I knew a classmate who would collect all his spare change and go fill his gas can, come home, pour some onto a rag or a sock and hold it up to his face. I haven't noticed any ban on gasoline sales to minors

Anyway I'm pretty sure the kids can buy aerosols themselves at the $1 store, not like they follow the patriot act at those places

That sounds really weird the way your observing them.

Crafty animal?
Maybe you were not spotted because you were a teenager?
Great heights with & without using tools?
Opening locked vessels without a key ( combination lock ).
Build a bunker with big vault doors? ( anyone scream panic room ).

Agreed and I am one.
