TITLE 16 CRIMES AND OFFENSES

Section 13. Controlled Substances, 16-13-1 through 16-13-114.

ARTICLE 4 SALE, POSSESSION, TRANSFER, OR INHALATION OF MODEL GLUE

16-13-91. Intentional inhalation of model glue; application of article to anesthesia.

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, provided that this Code section shall not apply to the inhalation of any anesthesia for medical or dental purposes.

(Ga. L. 1968, p. 1194, § 1.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Evidence of violation.

- Spray paint containing acetone was within the definition of model glue and evidence of the defendant's possession was sufficient to support an adjudication of delinquency for having inhaled model glue. In re T.S., 211 Ga. App. 46, 438 S.E.2d 159 (1993).

Presence of toluene in spray paint, an essential element of the crime, was not proven because the contents label was hearsay and, absent a recognized exception, could not prove the truth of the matter asserted. Ledford v. State, 239 Ga. App. 237, 520 S.E.2d 225 (1999).
