If this stuff enters your system and reacts with it, altering your body chemistry, THEN it's a drug. If it simply cause your brain to react via simple stimulus then it's not a drug, it's external stimuli. Calling it a drug paves the way for *******s like Jack Thompson to claim video games are a drug, since they produce similar effects.

A smell is just another form of stimulus. Your only hangup is that it's chemical. Well so what, so is everything. That stuff could be nothing more than mild perfume.
Like I said, using that **** as an emotional crutch is dumb. But you're all carrying on like it's ****ing blow or something.
Okay spyhop stop.

There is a danger in introducing foreign chemical to the brain. Remember what you were telling me about your experience with long term use of caffeine, the dependance and long term nasty effects. And remember my thread about ritalin, how much it destroyed my life, and i've had to rebuild myself, and in which pretty much every member who took long term it and posted acknowledged that it messed them up.


Now man, its not that hard of a leap in critical thinking to understand that that if alcohol were ever put into a potent spray form, and people inhaled this alcohol spray that the negative consequences would be similar to drinking beer. One would obviously make the alcohol more pure then the 5% labatts we drink at the bar, since only a limited quantity would be inhaled. Now imagine if 60% alcohol were put into spray form. You could imagine someone inhaling the spray, particularily someone with a smaller body weight would get effects similar to drinking alcohol.

Stop and realize that this chemical regardless if oyu call it a perfume is very potent. If its can drastically alter children's behavior immediately then it must be quite potent. Potent in effecting the dopamine neurotransmitter systems.

Smelling is natural.
stimulant (drug) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia
Quote:
stimulant
drug
Main

any drug that excites any bodily function, but more specifically those that stimulate the brain and central nervous system. Stimulants induce alertness, elevated mood, wakefulness, increased speech and motor activity and decrease appetite. Their therapeutic use is limited, but their mood-elevating effects make some of them potent drugs of abuse.
stimulant is still a drug, OMFG!

Wow Spyhop, you took the words out of my mouth! You are catching on! Sorry, I must joke about this so I don't flip out too badly on you since I've already had a very ****ty night. ^_^

Yes, normal things that are taken in excess can cause addictive and drug like behaviors (like your example, video games).

Yes, smelling is natural but smelling a drug isn't.

As far as I understood that website, this is a simple odor. Pretty much just aromatheropy. I explicity asked if this **** had narcotic properties, because that would be a different story. But if this is just a smell, then it's not like sniffing coke.

Yes, stimulANTS are drugs. StimuLI can be anything. Touch, taste, smell, sight, sound. Stimuli isn't drugs.

Geez, Spyhop. You are just reading the website and trusting what they say? Of course they are only going to advertise good things on their website. This is a business and they need to make money.

If you did some research, you would maybe start to understand why everyone else here is freaking out about this DRUG.

I'm going to sum up this thread.

Tantrum 911 is a nasal spray that "re-boots" children. The long term effect of this may not be known, it may cause damage.
-- Sounds like a drug to me.

Spyhop either has his head shoved so far up his ass, its coming out his mouth, or he's a complete idiot.
-- Sounds like a fail troll.

That's just my objective observation.

Do you understand the concept of smelling, like how you smell?
How can a substance you smell be called 'stimulus'?

Do youself a favor, go to the libary and search in all biology/psychology literature until the definition of 'stimulus' is pellucid to you.

I'm going to have to agree with Spyhop here... And then take it a step further.

Tantrums extend further then in infants. I clearly remember seeing an 8 year old screaming and yelling madly in the middle of a supermarket, lost in a tantrum. Naturally, his mother had absolutely no idea how to deal with him. The boy made such a mess of the store, that the staff actually had to escort the mother and son out of the store. It was a mess of a situation, and based of the mother's reaction, it wasn't the first time this had happened.

It may turn out that dealing with this child's desire for the smell will be much easier to manage then his erratic behaviour. Consider it the lesser of two demons.

If this stuff is given on prescription, to the right people, it could have the same effect as arm-bands do to children learning how to swim. An aide.

Well, it's not a prescription. And people that could freaking teach their children won't. Only because they're freaking lazy and don't want to deal with the problem. There should not be a drug for this. People have taught us how to deal with tantrums or we either grew up and realized it quickly instead of being retarded. Seriously. This is so stupid that they even have this drug made and that they are selling it so excessively.

I don't care what you people think, in my opinion this drug is totally wrong like snow in hell.
This not an aid in learning, this completely contradicts the way human learns.
For more about learning, look more into literature and study about learning...


However, I want to make one thing clear before I go to sleep:
Stimulus is an action, a phenomenon, and it is not an substance.

Dopamine anbalogues are used to treat parkinsons patients, but has serious side effects of desensitizing dopamine receptors from prolonged use, and can cause permanent long term side effects. So Dopaminergic drugs are obviously not something to dally with.


And as for this aroma balony, how long are we going to run in circles here?

Aromatherapy, odors, scents, smells those are just vaporized delivery systems in transporting a substance. Regardless of the delivery system the inherit properties of whatever is being sprayed remains the same.

Wait, you people just wait....

What is wrong with tantrum? Is it a disease? Is it an illness? Is it an inability? Why do you need to treat it?

If the substance isn't reacting with the body, beyond simply affecting odor receptors, then it's benign and NOT a drug.

Anyway kids, I gotta work tomorrow, and this conversation is annoying me, causing a chemical reaction in my brain, so I don't want to overdose on this drug of a thread!!

I'm just gonna do a couple lines of cookie odor, listen to some music drugs, and hit the sack.

music = sound wave lmao
Thought you need to learn more biology and chemistry, but now you need some physics too.


I know that you are ignoring my posts btw, since you've been talking about the same nonsense every time.

You did ask a question. And that was great. We gave you an answer. It just doesn't seem like you understand what we're saying. I don't see how any of us is going overboard. We're just scared for these children. I don't see how that is "over reacting".

Okay, don't kill yourself on your cookie drug smells. *roll eyes*

K, seriously gone now.
