Thanks, A&E..

For simultaneously exposing an potential new drug abuse problem, and magnifying said problem by about a million.. Did you gasp involuntarily the first time you saw the promos for "'Intervention's' Special Report - Huffing?" I could visualize the eyes of little waste-oids around the country lighting up when the phrase "A dollar a can" was spoken. The major misconception is that what is being huffed is "Air," when it is actually freon. One time is all that mistake needs to kill you.

I know, I know, Huffing is now a problem, but exposing it should be balanced against the awareness that national television brings. How do we, as a free society, provide knowledge and treatment for drug abuse problems like this one without overly glamorizing the high or the accessibility?

This isn't weed, it isn't alcohol, it isn't even cocaine or LSD. It's freon, and it's deadly and it's cheap and it's oh-so in-style right now. Don't kid yourself--it's a problem that's about to become a Major Problem.
