Two teen-age cases of toxic psychosis associated with gasoline inhalation are described and compared with the so-called "model psychoses" evoked by mescaline, LSD =25 and psilocybin.

The inhaling of gasoline quickly became a tempting recurrent activity in the case of these two boys with maladjusted and impulsive personalities.
