Sticky, I'm shocked such a thread/post could come from you... I thought you had more brains...

If you keep doing NOS, you'll get the rest of what's left.

Look dude, do you know why you get the giggling fits? Because the NOS takes up almost all of the space that the Oxygen should be having... so, your brain, is starving for Oxygen.

Nice going dude.

As a side note::: Never intake anything you can pump into your engine.

BTW: I would think that by NOS you mean NitrousOxide (N2O)...

Nitrous oxide was discovered in 1772 by Joseph Priestley. Humphry Davy, inventor of the miner's lamp, documented it as a recreational drug after testing it on the poet Coleridge.

In 1882, the American philosopher William James praised its ability to provide "ultimate truth" to a user, in a powerful spiritual and mystical experience. But, sadly, the after-effects of nitrous oxide proved similar to other recreational drugs: the memory of the experience did not linger.

Nitrous oxide has more oxygen than atmospheric air, so it helps an engine burn more fuel, boosting its power. It is also used to enhance the performance of the internal combustion engine and to propel rockets and force whipped cream out of a dispenser.

It is also an emergency anaesthetic and an analgesic, most often used in childbirth. It was used extensively for a time by dentists.

Harmless and really, really funny

"I have used nitrous regularly for about 10 years (via whipped cream cartridges) and have found it very valuable for introspection, clearing out mental cobwebs, and general life strategy planning. When used right, it often provides a profound, unpredictable, and interesting mental experience, in a short period of time with no impairment lasting longer than 30 minutes. Here I recommend some principles which have worked well for me.

Most importantly, I recommend that you set a 'hard limit' for yourself of 4 whippets per day. I have held to this rule for many years, with excellent results, and many highly profound experiences. If nothing interesting has happened after 4 whippets, I do not waste mental energy considering whether to do more, instead I accept that this is not my day for nitrous... I will try again tomorrow. In my experience, if you do more you'll only attain a state similar to drunkenness on ethanol, suitable only for watching crap TV. This is not the point.

Cannabis usage (1-3 tokes) is highly recommended before the nitrous, although not essential. I give the cannabis 10 minutes to come on before using the nitrous.

To do the whippets, I use a whipped cream dispenser. Just omit the cream & sugar, discharge one whippet at a time into the dispenser, and use the lever to dispense gas from the nozzle. Or, you can fill a balloon. Of course, avoid plastic bags or anything that could suffocate you, although this type of usage doesn't involve unconsciousness. I usually do it standing up (because that physical posture leads to a more active mental state). Only once did I ever fall on my ass, and that was a long time ago, before I adopted the 4-whippet limit.

I hold the nitrous in as long as it's comfortable, but breathe air when I feel the need. Oxygen deprivation is not the goal. I usually split a whippet into two inhalations, breathing plenty of room air in between.

Expect some audio and visual 'static' - modulating sounds and patterns across your visual field (not attached to objects, but just spread across the field). When peaking I have often seen explicitly fractal patterns (i.e. a big curve made up of smaller curves which themselves are smaller curves, each with the same shape, at 3 different levels). These large fractals seem to evolve out of the static, suggesting that all the static is fractal patterns, but mostly just too small to see.

More importantly, I often find myself in a distinctly different state of consciousness, in which, when I reflect on various life situations, I find in myself a greater level of wisdom and authority, able to make decisions with confidence. Generally I feel that this was not really induced by the drug, but was already going on at an unconscious level, and the nitrous only brought it out where I could be consciously aware of it. This is hard to explain but you'll know it when you see it.

Another valuable effect is the 'ego death' phenomenon where I momentarily become completely disoriented from my life, then return to it. This process highlights my assumptions about life, and causes me to evaluate them, discard assumptions which seem unjustified, and replace them with assumptions which I can better support with logic and my own wisdom."

my own experiences are quite limited, i believe there are risks of brain damage from oxygen deprivation, but imho you couldn't do it if you tried.

You know when to stop, its automatic. Ive had different effects form it, some simillar to Pills, poppers and even salvia.

Wow, there are a lot of really stupid people on this board. :rolleyes:

Nitrous is NOT dangerous unless you do something really stupid. Just like weed. Or alcohol. Or Tylenol. The only danger is accidently doing something stupid while under the influence. Just sit on the couch and that risk is gone. Oxygen deprivation is NOT an issue at all. It's only in your lungs for a few seconds. Just like taking a lung full of smoke. Or holding your breath. The only way people kill themselves with nitrous is by doing really stupid things, such as rigging up a nitrous mask, then they pass out and suffocate. I say good riddance to them. If it was really that dangerous do you think dentists would be giving it out so willy nilly?

The only other minor risk is the depletion of vitamin B12 with long term use. As long as you don't use it every day for a very long time this is not an issue. You can also consume extra B12 vitamins.

The fact that it is used in cars is completely, totally irrelivant. So is alcohol, but you wouldn't think twice about drinking a shot, would you? The nitrous they use in vehicles is poisoned with sulfur specifically so you cannot use it to get high.

When purchased in bulk online, (50-600 hits) nitrous is a cheap, safe high. (medically and legally) No, it doesn't last long, but that 1-2 minutes is heaven. And it's easy to buy, legal to possess, and doesn't show up on any drug tests. It's even better in combination with weed.

I'm sure that it has been mentioned a few times but N20 is different from the form of nitrous oxide they inject into cars though you can get the same effect as using medical grade N20.

I and my father both run nitrous on our cars and I wrote an informative speech in college on the gas and found out a lot of interesting info on it.

The greatest thing I found was that there are no negetive side effects and nothing bad at all about it. :thumbsup:

car grade nitrous is dangerous. there is an additive in it to let you know if it is leaking which makes it dangerous. food grade (whipped cream cartridges-easy to find in grocery stores) and medical grade (dentist mostly-find a cool dentist) is safe in moderation.

sheesh, you guys worry me. many stupid kids have died from this stuff by going into a closet with a tank and losing consciousness then soon suffocates! others have permanent lung damage from the cartridges and their throats and lungs suffer frostbite...and there are many other ways you can hurt or kill yourself with this stuff.

You're right Del, suffocating from smoking weed is pretty ridiculous. How 'bout these though:

You could set your hair on fire while smoking weed by holding the pipe and lighter to close to your face (I'm sure this has happened before)

You could get so high from smoking weed that you forget to wear a jacket, go out into the cold, and die of hypothermia.

You could suck in bong water and drown.

You could get the muchies so bad that you eat until you rupture your stomach.

I'm sure we could find lots of other far fetched ways you could die from smoking weed. Let's face it, if you're dumb enough you can kill yourself with just about anything. Think about lawnmowers and chainsaws. Shit, I remember reading somehting a while ago about the fact that hundreds of people a year end up in the emergency room after having an accident while cutting a bagel. And do I need to mention those damn deep fried turkeys?

But really, how many kids have access to a nitrous tank? And if your dumb enough to just suck straight out of the cartridge you deserve what you get. Most people think it fries your brain, however, and that isn't true. Like I said before, to the average person using a whippit, cracker, and a balloon, nitrous isn't dangerous.

Of course they are going to say that. They don't want people suing them when they do one of the few really stupid things and kill themselves. A similar warning is found on just about every bottle and box you can buy at a modern grocery store. You would still think nothing of using the product inside. (beer, for example) As I said before, these things are only an issue if you are a complete and total moron. If you have even the slightest bit of common sense the warning is useless to you.

No, "many stupid kids" haven't died from nitrous. :rolleyes: Name ONE. Yes, people have died from nitrous in the past, but these deaths are very, very rare and are only the result of self induced stupidity. More people have died of a water overdose. (really, they have) You cannot get frostbite from a whippit unless you punch a hole in the bottle and then stick it in your mouth. This is equivalent stupidity to putting a lit firework in your mouth. There's no way around it, eventually somebody will be stupid enough to hurt themselves with the most harmless product and then you'll hear about it on the news like it happens every day. If you're not a complete idiot then you have nothing to worry about.


...and there are many other ways you can hurt or kill yourself with this stuff.
Name one. :rolleyes:

Accidental death by nitrous oxide inhalation.

Winek CL, Wahba WW, Rozin L.

Allegheny County Department of Laboratories, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, USA.

Nitrous oxide is a popular inhalation anesthetic-analgesic agent. Its euphoric action and its availability have led to its abuse. We report a case of fatal accidental asphyxia due to nitrous oxide abuse. The deceased was a hospital worker who had access to the hospital supply of nitrous oxide. His death was due to hypoxemia and asphyxiation, secondary to nitrous oxide inhalation.

East Campus Reacts After Student Death
By Rima Arnaout and Douglas E. Heimburger
STAFF REPORTERS
Residents and tutors of East Campus gathered yesterday to discuss the death of Richard Guy ??99, who died early in the day as the result of a drug overdose.

??It??s hard but they??re handling it quite well,? said East Campus Housemaster Jed Z. Buchwald of EC residents. ??There??s been deans on call, housemasters,? and mental health professionals on hand to listen to the students?? concerns, Buchwald said.

??Things have gone about as well as can be hoped for right now,? Buchwald said.

A student of East Campus found Guy unconscious on the fifth floor of East Campus?? east parallel yesterday morning around 1 a.m. Guy was pronounced dead at the scene.

Guy, a resident of Mission Viejo, Californina, was entering his junior year as a physics major.

The Cambridge Medical Examiner??s office confirmed yesterday that Guy died from asphyxiation as a result of nitrous oxide intoxication. Guy had a plastic bag over his head to inhale the nitrous.

Guy??s death is being investigated by Campus Police. The death is currently presumed to be an accident.

The Associated Press reported last night that the Middlesex County district attorney??s office said the case was not being treated as a homicide.

Nitrous Oxide: in the News

Internet sales of whippet cartridges are a growing problem that has resulted in the death of at least one nitrous user. Sold under the guise of whipped cream propellants and erotic aids, whippets are frequently sold alongside crackers, balloons, and other drug paraphernalia that make their intended use fairly clear.

In 1999, a 20-year-old Virginia Polytechnic Institute student suffocated to death after inhaling nitrous purchased through one of these online merchants, the now-defunct Bongmart.com. Although the web site marketed the nitrous "for food use only," investigators with the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) said it was clear that the intended use was for nitrous intoxication. The merchant was convicted of delivering a misbranded drug into interstate commerce.

Sex experiment killed man
1 June 2005
A man died after a sexual experiment involving dental anaesthetic went badly wrong, an inquest heard today.

David Baron, 58, was found dead wearing women's clothes and hooked up to a machine pumping out nitrous oxide.

His wife Carol found him wearing a skirt and bra on the floor of his dressing room at the family home in Kings Stanley, Gloucestershire.

The inquest heard Mr Baron had experimented with medical gas before, but his wife said it was just to relax himself.

She told the inquest that on two occasions she had brought him round after he had slipped into unconsciousness while using gas.

The couple had been going through divorce proceedings and were sleeping in separate rooms, so it was not until Mr Baron failed to get up in the morning that his body was discovered in September last year.

The machine Mr Baron used to deliver the gas to a mask he wore was designed for dental anaesthesia.

But the Gloucester inquest heard it was faulty and was delivering only nitrous oxide rather than a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen.

The cause of death was given as hypoxia and asphyxia due to the inhalation of nitrous oxide.

Cheltenham and Cotswolds Coroner Alan Crickmore recorded a verdict of accidental death.

"I think on this occasion David Baron was fulfilling his erotic fantasies," he said.

"That is clear from pictures found surrounding him and the way he was dressed. The link cannot be denied.

"I think this was a sexual experiment which went very badly, and unintentionally, wrong."

-Mary-Lee Cooper, 11 years old, was killed by her one year old sister who climbed on top of her while she was sleeping, suffocating her.

-Jay Newton was killed after a co-worker at Sea World in Florida dropped a 20 ton killer whale on him. The whale had been hoisted out of his tank by a Master Tonne Crane, when the victim swam underneath to inspect the harness. His colleague, Brian Hartley, released the whale, crushing the victim instantly (and emptying a quarter of the water from the pool).

-Gail Queens, 23 years old, was killed by her zoo keeper boyfriend He 'invited her' to the zoo to see the lions feeding, and at feeding time led her into a room that had a large slide away panel. He explained to her that it was a large glass viewing window to watch the lions devour their prey. He 'ducked out for a quick smoke' and locked her in the room. Suddenly the slide away panel opened to reveal many people staring at her. She was just about to yell and tell them that they were on the wrong side of the glass when she realized that it was her on the wrong side. Another panel opened and three hungry lions were let into the pen. Gail survived for two days in hospital before dying of massive internal injuries.

whippets are the cartridges used in the commercial cans, not in the ones you buy in the supermarket. but there is a little no2 in those cans too and once the whipped creme is gone is easy to inhale for one or 2 short buzzes. whippets require a balloon and a "breaker" that fits inside the balloon which the cartridge is then inserted and the seal is broken to release the gas. the dangerous part of this is the gas comes out ice-cold and frosts the balloon. if inhaled too soon can cause frostbite in the throat and lungs. these are sold in head shops in the tucson area and elsewhere i'm sure.

and i am not saying it is mad dangerous...i am only refuting those talking up how safe it is and how it doesn't kill. well, it usually is safe BUT it has killed...more than once. it has also been implicated in several traffic accidents (kids loading up at stop lights!) in the tucson area over the years.

it's...interesting for a cheap thrill, sorta kinda. the 'trip' only lasts a minute or 2 and there are some fun tricks to do in a party atmosphere with it but i always got a headache after 3-4 whippets and a funky taste in my mouth. where people get in trouble is when they take a tank into a closet or use a gas mask w/o using the oxygen blender...and taking it out onto the streets, lol!

lol doesn't sound too bad....
party tricks?? lol i can't imagine what tricks you could do with No2.....lol or do you mean it's good for a party atmosphere?

one trick we did was pull out an oven grate and tie a string on 2 corners of one side...then roll up a bit of string around each index finger then plug into ears and have someone "play" the grill...the echo effect ya get from the nitrous intensifies the "church bells" (it's a "ya gotta do it to understand" kind of thing).

another trick was knotting up dry cleaner bags into a rope or take a whiffle-ball bat and set fire to one end (in a safe place of course). hang up high and the drips of fire along with the sound of it falling into a pan of water set below the burning plastic is pretty trippy with sight and sound involving fire!...also good for shrooms and lsd. this is called a "zilch".

Nitrous is relatively harmless as long as you don't over do it. Also take B12 supplim,ents if you do it a lot. I love the stuff. It is very moreish. most I have done at one sitting is about 15 my cracker is broken at the moment so haven't done it for a while. is very nice with pot.

Nitrous doesn't do much for me unless I'm already tripping, but when I am, WOW!

I think this goes for all people who don't know about a drug entirely. They over exaggerate the cons and leave out the pros. IE: Non weed smokers, most, think its a bad drug that leads to many other drugs, it stays in your system for 90+ days,, it affects your brain, and its hazzardous to health. I say let bigons be bigons and if you don't know about the drug, don't comment :p as for myself, woot for NOS

Not that I really give a shit what anybody else thinks, but I've had several friends that have become very addicted/obsessed with N2O - we call it "hippy crack". One of my friends kept doing it by the tank which was fine for a while, but after a few weeks of repeatedly using it he would start to blackout every single time - he got major concussions, he freeze burned most of his face, and he ended up with major brain damage he later found out while at the hospital; the bad thing was even when he stopped months later, he still kept randomly blacking out - even to this day. Not to long ago he blacked out while driving and hit a massive pole going like 60mph and came very close to dying, so now he's in a half-vegetable state and can't do much becuase of the blackouts. I'm not against N2O+pure Oxygen in moderation, but I don't think that N2O by itself is the safe little party drug that everyone wants it to be.

The thing is Joey935 that any drug is bad if you do too much of it. I'm not saying nitrous is harmless but the odd whippet is fun and relatively harmless. It is always a good idea to have a little breath of air when you inhale nitrous as well.
