MADISON - A state appeals court says a Marathon County judge properly forced a man into treatment for huffing gasoline, rejecting his argument that gasoline doesn't qualify as a drug.
The family of the man, identified only as Zachary W. in court documents, petitioned to have him involuntarily committed last year, saying he was a danger to himself. The man argued that state law governing involuntary commitments for drug dependence doesn't define the word ``drug'' and gasoline doesn't meet the definition under other sections of state law.
