Her arrest for Toulene possession is especially troubling. Inhaling it destroys white matter in the brain. I hope she gets the help she needs.

Wow, I have seriously never heard of this before. Interesting.

Wanted to add too that the arrest for this was in Feb 2019 and I heard she was doing better after the fact!

Toluene (/ˈtɒl.juiːn/), also known as toluol (/ˈtɒl.ju.ɒl, -ɔːl, -oʊl/),[7][8] is a substituted aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a colorless, water-insoluble liquid with the smell associated with paint thinners. It is a mono-substituted benzene derivative, consisting of a methyl group (CH3) attached to a phenyl group. As such, its systematic IUPAC name is methylbenzene. Toluene is predominantly used as an industrial feedstock and a solvent.

As the solvent in some types of paint thinner, permanent markers, contact cement and certain types of glue, toluene is sometimes used as a recreational inhalant[9] and has the potential of causing severe neurological harm.[10][11]

Toluene is used as an intoxicative inhalant in a manner unintended by manufacturers. People inhale toluene-containing products (e.g., paint thinner, contact cement, model glue, etc.) for its intoxicating effect. The possession and use of toluene and products containing it are regulated in many jurisdictions, for the supposed reason of preventing minors from obtaining these products for recreational drug purposes. As of 2007, 24 U.S. states had laws penalizing use, possession with intent to use, and/or distribution of such inhalants.[38] In 2005 the European Union banned the general sale of products consisting of greater than 0.5% toluene.[39]

I have a few contacts in this case and I'm speaking to one currently who has been worried sick about Erica, hasn't seen her in a few years. I gave him the update regarding her arrest and he was over the moon at this sign that she's alive. @Darling136 thank you so much for posting what you did. I've been told she was in and out of rehab and sober living environments for a few years starting in 2016 or 2017, and she was doing good in late 2019. Perhaps the pandemic along with her friend's death got to her. Her friends weren't immediately concerned they hadn't heard from her since they knew she had dipped in and out of their lives due to drug use & rehab. IMO, MOO, all that jazz. Thank you guys so much for caring.

@kelsie
Thanks for your post! When sharing this i did not think about that it could be really good news, but with her background now i get the feeling of her friends or family that at least they now know she is somewhere around.
