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

For more info re: the dangers of huffing: http://www.inhalants.org
