No person shall, for the purpose of causing a condition of intoxication, stupefaction, euphoria, excitement, exhilaration, or dulling of the senses or nervous system, intentionally smell or inhale the fumes from any model glue.

However, this statute does not apply to the inhalation of any anesthesia for medical or dental purposes.

Georgia Defenses to Intentionally Inhaling Model Glue

O.C.G.A. §16-13-91 requires that the inhalation of model glue be intentional. Any evidence that the inhalation was accidental will be essential in fighting your case. A Georgia Dangerous Drug Attorney can help present your evidence and argue for a dismissal of your case. 

Another defense is if it was inhaled for medical or dental purposes. Then there is no crime.
