in the US the Vick's inhaler would definitely be a RAVE act victim. Did you ever see that video of a police officer talking to a massive gathering of parents? He told them that raves were places to buy drugs. He said that teenagers, when asked, would say, "It's about the music", but that it was a lie.

The boys in blue can be pretty persuasive, but nothing fueled the RAVE act more than the media. Teenagers dying from taking strange pills, police bust after bust... they made headlines so many times. That club that was shut down for having a chill-out room, the Marijuana benefit concert...

Vick's inhalers, Vapo-Rub, dustmasks, glowsticks, lollipops, ambient music, pill testing, a room that was cool, free water, harm reduction literature... these are all things that are threatened by the RAVE act in the states. By threatened, I mean a security guard can immediately throw "paraphernalia" in a garbage can if you are trying to bring it in.

It's really a sad state of affairs.

On the other hand, I would have bought you one inside! Just let somebody know, don't we all help eachother out? I'm sure you got plenty of seabreezes from other people ;-)
