why?

a thread in other psychotropics titled "duster" was locked with the mod giving this reason:

The substances used in compressed "air" dusters is physiologically inert. The "high" is caused by a sudden, acute anoxia due to oxygen displacement. Essentially, what you are experiencing is your brain beginning to die. It's not a drug, it's a suicide waiting to happen, and so we will not discuss it here.

This is closed.

The chemical in compressed air is diflouroethane, and it is most definately not physiologically inert. I couldn't care less about this particular thread, but it does concern me that a mod would lock a thread basd on their own ignorance. This thread is properly placed in the right forum, and on topic, while there is a thread about how to make crack in the cannabis recipes forum that remains open. Why?

Because we are living in a police state where censorship is a part of daily life. O hold on, thats just cannabis.com

Also because Huffing Aresol Cans is plain stupid?

Wrong. Read the MSDS for difluoroethane. There is no mention of direct CNS effects, which would be required to be listed in the MSDS if they were known. It does, however, mention the oxygen displacement effects:

Health Hazards Acute & Chronic: INHALATION OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VAPOR IS HARMFUL & MAY CAUSE HEART IRREGULATITIES, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, DEATH. INTENTIONAL MISUSE OR DILIBERATE INHALATION MAY CAUSE DEATH W/O WARNING. VAPOR REDUCES OXYGEN AVAILABLE FOR BREATHING & IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. LIQUID CONTACT CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE.

I stand by my thread closing and the reasons therefor.

i think its best to keep the bottom feeders of the drug culture locked anyway. **KUDOS TO BEEBLE** all u inhalant/crack junkies..i can beat up like 20 of em at a time with my superior weed muscles
although it doesnt seem to make sense why a thread on HOW TO FUCKING MAKE CRACK is perfectly acceptable :confused:

well your average lil kid cant get crack,but he can sure pick up a can of duster off his parents desk,
see the difference?

The crack thread is borderline. I'm going to let it live for now, though I wouldn't be too terribly upset if another mod closed it. I can't have all the fun, y'know. ;)

i guess it depends on your definition of "phsiologically inert" and "drug." Just because something doesn't have direct cns effects doesn't mean it is not a drug(at least that was my understanding of the definition), and it doesn't mean it isn't physiologically inert. Anyway, I don't mean to challenge anyone's decision, I just thought it odd that this thread was closed when the crack one is obviously off topic, since the header on the recipes forum specifically says it is for cannabis related recipes.

GOOD and well done to the mod who locked it.

I second that, I'll stick to my weed (and the occasional hallucinogen).
