"......let's not forget our dear friend poppers. You guys have a death grip on those little bottles like a

steel trap. And they are just as commonly associated with sexual risk behavior and seroconversion

as crystal is.  Read your research literature, folks, it's all there.  And again, more guys use poppers

than meth.  On average, about 10% of gay men have used crystal in the past year.  It's 2-4 times

that with poppers.  Take one look at Craigslist and you see ads all over the that say  "no PNP.

Poppers OK."  Is it really OK?  Is it really OK that guys feel like they can't have the sex they want

without inhaling chemicals?  I realize that no one is losing a job to poppers addiction, but plenty are

getting HIV.  Is this really OK?"..
