Legal and Social Issues Joshua Kirk Legal and Social Issues Legal Issues: Inhalants aren’t regulated under the Controlled Substances Act, though thirty-eight states in the United States have placed restrictions on the sale and distribution to minors of certain products that are commonly abused as inhalants. Some states have introduced fines, incarceration or mandatory treatment for the sale, distribution, use and/or possession of inhalant chemicals. Social Issues: Issues are found for users who develop little to no social competence outside their circle of friends with whom they use inhalants and other drugs. Their development impedes into young adulthood and in all arenas of life, which they’re not equipped for later becoming responsible adults, capable of dealing with and deciding upon larger life issues and thus rely on Inhalants some more.
