My best friend told me that yesterday he sniffed some lighter gas and smoked some weed and all day after it he felt thirsty and no matter how much he drank he still was thirsty, What is wrong with him?

So if he sniffed it yesterday and is still alive now, he isn't gonna die?

First of all, smoking weed causes you to be thirsty, its slang term is "cotton mouth". So that answers that question! But if you are a real friend to this guy you might tell him that huffing gas fries your brain really fast. True story: I literally know a kid who huffed duster all the time and he thinks he is a glass of milk now! He sleeps standing up in a corner, he fears that if he lies down to sleep, he might spill. So do the right thing and get your friend some help, or next time you visit him you might be going to a mental institute!! NO JOKE!!!!

weed causes dry mouth and excessive thirst. I wouldn't worry about the lighter fluid, that only stays in your system for like 5 minutes. The dry mouth is just from the weed.
However, inhalents are very dangerous and can cause SSDS (Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrom). That means you die because the toxins cut off the flow of oxygen to your brain for too long. It doesn't happen all the time, but is it really worth it to risk it?

Both weed and tobacco (if he mixed it) will make him thirsty. He probably just isn't used to smoking and was trying to impress you by telling you, people who do it regularly don't tell anyone because they don't see it as a big deal. And they're used to the side effects.
Be aware that sniffing lighter fuel is potentially lethal, you can just drop dead doing that so don't risk it. All that happens is you get light headed and disorientated, its not worth dying for that.

Smoking weed will make you thirsty, not for long though. The problem is the gas, you need to tell him to stop straight away, they don't say solvent abuse kills straight away for nothing. I have personally seen somebody die instantly from it, one minute they are there the next not. He is seriously playing Russian roulette with his life. Its not big. All the best

You should be worried, sniffing lighter gas can kill instantly. Don't know why he was thirsty, its definitely nothing to do with weed. I know ecstasy can make you thirsty, are you sure he didn't drop one of those as well?

WOW...THATS REALLY STUPID. There was a girl who did some X I read about, and she had the same symptoms.....excessive thirst. She ended up drinking so much water that it made her brain swell. Her mother found her unresponsive the next morning and she went into a coma. She died 4 or 5 days later from a cerebral hemorrhage. Your friend needs help. Tell his parents.

I agree with Ranteater. Your best friend could be telling lies of course! Do your mate a favour and tell him he is seriously going to damage his health or worse if he keeps doing that stuff.
