Thursday, 19 May 2016: Beginning to Look at Inhalants

Please read through the following two stories.  Be ready to discuss each one.  Is this something anyone has heard of?  It is an area of drug use a lot of people not only aren’t familiar with, but not even aware of its drug categorization, or how lethal the consequences can be.

After discussion and researching into this drug, we will look at a short video that breaks down Inhalants.  Your homework will be to update your ongoing charts by adding a new section for Inhalants, which will be due tomorrow (Friday, 20 May 2016) before the start of class.  The expectation is you will have significantly more detail than the samples shown on the slides.
