Home-supply retailer Lowe's just reversed a weeks-old policy of carding anyone who tried to buy paint. Turns out a lot of 18, 19, and 20-year-olds hold down jobs, live in dwellings, and otherwise are functioning members of society who do not "huff" paint or related products in order to get high.
The usual suspects are pissed about the latest change.

Look, these kids today have access to much more concentrated huffing inhalants compared to what people were huffing a generation ago. That innocent huffing you did in the '60's has turned in to a full fleged menace--it's like, one huff and BAM! you're addicted. And of course huffing paint thinner is only the gateway to abusing even harsher volatile organic compounds.
Lowe's paint = hardware = construction = bin Laden family
construction firm = Osama
The people must learn the truth. Paint huffing funds terror.
Where do you suppose "The usual suspects (the Consumer Feds of
Amerika") get their funding?
Government grants? Blackmail? Tax loot?
Those who cause trouble in a free society are often the ones who
aim to prolong their survival. Parasitic ivy behaves the same way
around the oak that it slowly strangles.
Such entities must perennially justify their existence -- else no
gubmint grants, nothing to blackmail with, no tax loot.
"white-out is cheaper either way :O"
When I was 16ish I went to Wal-Mart to buy Paint Thinner, and found
that they wouldn't sell it to you unless you were 18+. Apparently
Wal-Mart is dedicated to keeping children from becomining painters
- what the hell else are you suppose to use to thin paint and
correct errors?
But here is the real 'shocking' part: Later I went to Wal-Mart to
buy White Out...and guess what? Yes, apparently they have rules
against school aged children buying that, too.
Thank God for Wal-Mart's dedicated effort to keep school supplies
out of the hands of school children. Idiots.
That wasn't Wal-Mart's doing. That was angry parents who
couldn't get the stuff cleaned off the table. (It's
indelible.)
Besides, they've got alternatives: Correction tape in roll-on
dispensers (Made in France, BTW.)
will one bottle of white out work? how long do you huff the stuff, im out of bud and im goin fuckin crazy
i huffed for 10 years and found that the best shit is tulane it realy rocks not only you're world but it takes you to a different place ..acid has it's ass kicked in a major fucking way ..can you say hell yeah ..i thought you could ..also if you cant get it use gold 18k is the bomb ...lump...
