Inhalants are a range of products that produce vapours which, when inhaled, may cause a person to feel intoxicated or "high". Inhalants are "depressants", which means that they slow down the activity of the brain and central nervous system. As a result, the messages going between the brain and the body are slowed down.
See the Australian Drug Foundation - Drug Info clearinghouse website for futher information on Inhalants.
