Recently, we have a spate of "temporary residents" (you know the shifty
sort that are obviously druggies) requesting not for opiate analgesics
but salbutamol and becotide inhalers. Does anyone know whether these
inhalers can be used by drug addicts to get a "buzz" or "high"? Is there
a black market for these inhalers?
Lastly, does anyone have a novel way of turning these "patients" away or
than a firm "NO".
Thanks.
