I read this in last night's paper. I wonder where kids ever got the idea to try grinding up candy and snorting it? Where would they see someone snorting something? Movies? MTV? TV?
I have to laugh at the last paragraph, though. It's the drug-story equivalent of a news anchor reporting on a stabbing with a graphic of an AK47 on the screen behind him.
BIRMINGHAM — Alabama drug educators say they're concerned about a new trend among some children that involves crushing certain types of candy and then snorting or inhaling it.
The Birmingham News reports the trend is known as "smoking Smarties."
Carol Williams, project coordinator of the Shelby County Drug Free Coalition Project Safe Place Programs of Family Connection Inc., says children are literally inhaling sugar into their bodies.
Williams said children either crush candies or using already powdered candies such as Pixy Stix or powder drink packets such as KoolAid and snort them into their noses.
She said inhaling dust into the nasal cavities can lead to infections in the sinuses or upper respiratory system.
She adds that some children do it to mimic the act of smoking a cigarette.

Had a guy in my unit at my first duty station that would snort sugar.

My response in the other thread is appropriate here too...
I doubt it's a "trend" like the article says. Probably more like an isolated group of dipshits

Well, I don't know about you, but even though I was a heavy smoker, I never tried snorting cigarettes.

Does it do anything?

I wouldn't know. He was our only black member of our unit and felt he had to do crazy *expletive deleted*it to try and fit in at times. Really blew his mind one day shortly after I got there when I brought back to the room 2 x 40's of Old E. Pissed him off when he realized they weren't for him. >:D

Keeps you awake when caffeine has lost its efficiency.

I've never tried it, but heard a pixie stick burns like hell if you snort it.

*snort*
As long as there have been pixie stix, there have been kids snorting pixie stixs.
a bunch of kids in my middle school got suspended for it (on the drug no tolerance policy. Mimicing drug use is part of it)
-
So ... what if you stick your pixie stix - oh, never mind :angel:

Okay. I think some of my brain cells just committed suicide.

Aw, that was wrong, Dawg. :mad:

I have a bottle of Old Ezra that I have had for 30 years.
I'm just waiting for the right time to crack the seal..........

After two days, caffeine had little to no effect of keeping you awake and alert.
Snorting a line of sugar will however work quite well. Not sure if it's from the adsorption of the sugar, or more likely the horrific burning and pain. Feels like smashing a rusty nail through your head, coated with lime juice.
Perks ya right up.

Man, that's almost as dumb as taking arsenic to get high (hangs head in shame).

Never tried sugar. I did, however, do a line of table salt once, with similar results.

I seem to remember having candy cigarettes as a kid

My mom was pretty pissed when those stopped being readily avalible. They were one of the four traditional candy items in my easter baskets. You can still get them sometimes as novilties, but they can be kinda hard to find.
I still have the box from the last pack she bought me.
The other one pissed her off even more, I thought she was gonna go all irrate when the stopped making the chopper chocolete bunny (there was a weird family wide tradition on that based on something my aunt said when she was a kid)

This ain't new.
I remember doing this in elementary school, in the late 80's. Mostly just to frustrate the teachers. We knew we wouldn't get high off it, and that it burned like all heck. But when your teacher is being a jerk to someone else, or running a really boring class, it's just the ticket to change the direction of things in the classroom.
We'd grind up Smarties and snort 'em like coke.

AZRedhaw44, somewhere along the line, someone must have gotten the idea to snort candy from seeing people snort drugs. It doesn't seem like the sort of behavior that develops naturally.
It's like toad-licking in Colorado a few years back. There's some species of toad that has a substance in its skin that can make a human being get high. As Rush Limbaugh asked, who was the first person to wonder what would happen if he licked a toad?

My guess, someone was really hungry and couldn't get a fire going, so he ate it raw, got high and told his friends. Then they "experimented" until they found it wasn't necessary to eat it, just lick it.

So you're saying that the practice of toad-licking was started by an incompetent camper? ;)

Probably similar to the discovery that eggs are edible.

Some man, or peoples in various parts of the world, probably noticed animals eating bird eggs and wondered if they might be good for humans to eat. I can't picture some man seeing an animal licking a toad, and the animal wandering around saying, "oh, wow, man. The colors."

Why do you think the toad secretes this stuff in the first place?
-
That's what I read in the newspaper story that Rush Limbaugh commented on.
-
I snorted a jawbreaker once. :O
Actually, my mom says I just stuck it in my nose when I was about 3. Had to go to the ER to get it out.

So ... some young lady in antiquity licked a toad, started hallucinating, and thought the toad looked like a prince ???
:lol:
