Vicks with Lemon Gin Vicks with Lemon Gin is a reference to the practice of buying Benzohex Inhalers, removing the cotton and using either alcoholic beverages or coffee as a solvent to dissolve the speed soaked in the cotton of the inhaler. It's considered a crap high by street duggies but it was invented by the Mods in England for use when they couldn't get Amphetamine pills. Benzohex is soaked with a minor methamphetamine. Vicks also used sell such an inhaler but you can't buy the real deal any more. Vicks seems to have ceased making it in favor of a new product called ZZZZquill which is far more dangerous. So these day, the only Vicks inhalers around are licensed from Vicks and made in other countries. They do NOT contain an active stimulant - only smelly stuff. The amphetamine compound in Benzohex and former Vicks inhalers worked by shrinking the swollen nasal membrane during congestion but just like Afrin, people got hooked on that. Kroger's and Walmart still make the real deal. Why do I know this? I wrote an article about the Gin and Benzohex beverage. If they were using a lemon flavored Gin product , trust me, it was to get rid of the camphor flavor also in the Benzohex. This is a cheap, crap high for street kids.
