mothballs? come on now!
Whatever happened to good ol' fashioned drugs - marijuana, cocaine, whatever...I mean who can't get some drugs - even people who don't do drugs...
The 18-year-old French woman was hospitalized with scaly skin on her legs and hands, appearing unsteady and mentally sluggish, doctors said.You know... it surprises me sometimes what comes up when you type stuff into google image search. Can anyone figure out what this picture has to do with mothballs?
They found the condition puzzling, especially since the woman's twin sister displayed similar, but less severe, symptoms and there was no family history of the problem, the doctors reported in this week's New England Journal of Medicine that
Several days later, doctors discovered the cause: a bag of mothballs stashed in her hospital room.
The teenagers had been using the mothballs to get high, inhaling air from the bag for about 10 minutes a day because classmates had recommended it. The sicker of the young women also had been chewing half a mothball a day for two months.
The doctors described the high as "dangerous" and most likely under-reported in medical literature.

Starving children in developing countries, Steve. Don't be elitist! Not everyone can afford your cocaine.
But seriously, this falls into the "kids will try absolutely any dumb thing to get high" category. Which speaks to a different issue than money.

And yes that is a hair piece. The dude is an actor from Bollywood and he is freakishly bald.

that is the most disgusting thing I've ever heard. Mothballs smell like HELL. I can't believe people would actually chose to inhale them.

That hideous moth on the lady's leggings would do it... at first I thought that the fashion displayed was so 80s that to pull them out of the closet, or buy them at a 2nd hand store, they'd smell like mothballs.
But chewing mothballs? I get a headache just *thinking* about that!
