Question by Shilajit: How to stop my friend from sniffing Dendrite (a glue consisting toluene and other intoxicants)?
Hey guys, I have a friend (Aged 24) who sniffs Dendrite every day. I know him almost 3 years now, and there hasn’t been a single day he didn’t do this thing. Sometimes he sniffs about 4-5 glue tubes a day. By now, he has become a junkie and he admits that he’s addicted. We’re all very concerned about his health as we know permanent brain damage is prevalent among users.
The most interesting part is this, he’s very well-educated and a very talented and struggling guitarist, an intellectual person I’d say, who’s interested in Classical/Jazz/Rock/Metal music and movies, unlike the usual abusers of this drug, who are mostly poor,homeless kids. He refuses to lay off of Dendrite for unknown reasons and we’re all pretty scared about this. Lately, I’ve been feeling his playing skills is lacking perfection. But that’s probably just me, and he isn’t really abnormal in any way and is quite a lovable person.
Rehab isn’t really an option, as the guy I’m talking about lives alone, away from his parents and they probably don’t know anything about this. When I ask him the reasons for sniffing glue, he just tells me that it’s the only thing that keeps his mind away from all the bullshit and depression and frustration,when the truth is, there isn’t really anything so frustrating. So probably he’s just making up excuses for sniffing more?
So, can anyone help me help him?

First of all he has to realise that he has this problem. Before that, there is not much you can do besides explaining what sniffing glue does to his body.

Question by Eye see!: Proof that Scientology’s claims about vitamins curing mental problems are fake?
If their claims of vitamins being cures/treatments for illness’s like schizophrenia were true then the vitamin industry would be keen to promote the proof as they would sell a whole lot more vitamins if that were the case. So, therefore there’s the proof that the claims must be incorrect because no industry is going keep quiet about provable benefits from it’s products! Also I would think that the NHS would also start suply them as they would be cheaper than the medications they have to provide!
In response to jenienla. Jeremy Perkins ring any bells? A paranoid schizophrenic whos mother, a scientologist, allowed him only to be treated with vitams as with in keeping with scientologists anti psychiary believes, he ended up stabing her seventy severn times.
