    Yeah honestly, inhalants are one of the only drugs I know of where the harm reduction guidelines are basically just "don't do them". They're really dangerous and there's no real way to make them less dangerous

      This is true for things like paint thinner and glue, but nitrous is pretty safe overall. It's what you get at the dentist for chrissakes. The biggest danger is actually b12 deficiency, but that only happens if one does them regularly.

          The problem is that the nitrous oxide inhibits your body's ability to metabolize b12, from my understanding. So you can supplement all you want, but it won't do any good after the fact. However, if you're planning on doing whippets (esp over a several day period) it can be a good idea to supplement on b12 for a few days beforehand.

      People use them a ton because they're almost impossible to drug test for.

      That's why pro athletes use them at parties

    Happened to a woman I know, too. She was in the hospital for no joke 30 days. Fortunately she has great healthcare through her employment, that somehow didn't fire her and let her have 3 months of medical leave.

      I once had access to a giant canister of nitrous that I'm pretty sure was procured or stolen from a dentist's office and filled up those heavy duty balloons to the size of beach balls until my lips started to turn blue. My friends took my balloon away after I fell over a log and it flew out of my hand.

      I'm told it's one of the most euphoric experiences one can have. My only experience is low doses in the dentists' office.

      I can't believe no one has given you a straight answer yet!

      Yeah, it's for sure enjoyable. I don't know if you've done any dissociatives before but if you have, it's like a brief (30 second or so) disso trip. It has its own unique headspace of course, a lot of people experience a "wah-wah" effect where your sense of sound is modulated. Like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XK7bE6rFM6M.
      Some get profound thoughts, like on weed when you think you've found some deeper truth, but with nangs its even more abstract and intense. Some people just get numb lips and space out a bit. It is almost universally enjoyable. If you do it, just practice normal, common sense precaution and you should be good. :stalin-approval:

      Eh. You get giggly for about 3 seconds. I never understood the appeal but some people love them.
