FXRich Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just seen on TV news where teens here in Oregon are putting ejuice in sodas to get high. In Oregon they haven't passed a law that stops minors from buying ecigs yet. Like that's going to stop them. I'm waiting for the day when a kid ODs on nicotine. They will blame vaping.

Tam Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Unfortunately, if you look at anything long enough and hard enough, you'll eventually see what you want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 There is no law about underage sales here in MI either. I have talked to places around me and they treat it as any other tobacco product and ask for ID. It think any place that sells vaping gear and juice should do this automatically. aprilhamann and tazl37 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXRich Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 The few times I've been in vape shops here I see signs posted NO SALES TO MINORS. But I have been in a few convenience stores, and gas stations that sell ejuice, and no signs. Trouble is I would not mind banning ecigs to minors, I'm in favor of it actually but they try to pass other stuff with it and it kills the whole thing.

Earthling789 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 They're dripping high NIC e-liquids into things like Red Bull... high caffeine, and a Nicotine buzz... and the carbonated drink speeds it to your system, much the same reason people use Tonic, cola, or Soda water with alcohol... it speeds up the intoxication effect. These are also the same "kids" that will huff paint or gasoline... looking for that cheap buzz.... and the reason I have to show ID to buy a can of Krylon these days... because as an adult, I'm not as likely to huff it or use it for graffiti... (in the infinite wisdom of our politicians). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprilhamann Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If a kid wants anything they will find away to get it. Y I u always have an adult that's an idiot and tries to be "the cool" big kid there and then you have drunk kidd kids smoking and eventually kids vaping. Just a fee months ago here where I live a car full of drunk teens got in a wreck and one was paralyzed. [emoji22] [emoji36] [emoji27] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Oregon they haven't passed a law that stops minors from buying ecigs yet. Like that's going to stop them. I'm waiting for the day when a kid ODs on nicotine. They will blame vaping. They are drinking ejuice? I can't even stand to SubOhm nicotine higher than 12mg, and I smoked for 25 years.

(in the infinite wisdom of our politicians). Kids can't order ejuice online without their parent's debit card; all they can do is keep minors out of B&Ms, like liquor stores. Crazy kids, that's not even a good buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starre LaBell Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Teens around here used to take "Coricidin" over the counter medicine, mix it with alcohol to trip. I bet there's some sick teens behind this, because it's a nauseating feeling to overamp on nicotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXRich Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Some kids will do anything for a buzz, even if it might kill them. I have seen a recent report that says the average IQ in the US is slowly going down. Don't know if its true or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeF Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wasn't it two years ago that kids were stealing refrigerant from A/C systems to get high? Little did they know they were just robbing themselves of oxygen and getting a high feeling. And yet TV glamorizes drug use, but no TV show is being banned. Wonder where kids are learning these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I see in basic skills test scores, it's happening very quickly. Jeffb, FXRich, Adversarious1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXRich Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 You are probably right Tam. I did some dumb things when I was a kid but the kids now got me beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 You are probably right Tam. I did some dumb things when I was a kid but the kids now got me beat. The kids these days have a lot more help in doing bigger and faster dumb things. We didn't have these... advantages. I, for one, am very glad to be so deprived. tazl37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXRich Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 No cell phones no video games no TV until I was about 16 before that the nearest TV station was 130 miles away. I don't know how I managed to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 At 17, 18 and 19, I had one TV station, one AM, one FM station, but a huge repository of books for entertainment and knowledge gathering. We made our own fun and it was much better than the disposable stuff the kids are being fed these days. And yes, I walked 14 miles to school in a snow storm uphill -- both ways.
