Question by mark: Do inhalants trigger lsd flashbacks for anyone else or is it just me?
I’ve noticed whenever I do inhalants I sometimes get lsd/mushroom visuals. Does this happen to anyone else?

Best answer:

Answer by jannsody
Unfortunately, it can be from the inhalant use. Even people who’ve used lsd or “shrooms” in the past and then marijuana on a different day have had those symptoms.

With regard to the huffing, my friend actually has a severe BRAIN INJURY from inhalant use at the age of 12, now in her 30s.

Other risks of huffing include sight loss/blindness, heart/liver/kidney damage, seizures, limb spasms, bone marrow (the fatty inner lining of the bones that make blood cells) damage and even death, all of which can happen after the very FIRST time of use

To search for counseling and treatment programs for those with a substance abuse problem(s), and some programs may have state and/or county funding for those without health insurance: http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/ and can click the first link and then can click “near you” on the left-hand side of the page under “find facilities”.

For a free Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting(s), and one may attend an “open” AA meeting if there is no drinking problem: http://www.aa.org
