About 9 months ago I dislocated my shoulder coming of my bike. In the ambulance and in the emergency room I was given a Nitrous/Oxygen 50/50 canister to have as much as I wanted, and prior and during a nurse doing the reduction on the shoulder (popping it back in its socket) I was told to huff as much as I possibly could.
The odd thing is I got zero psychedelic effects. I've used nitrous recreationally and briefly gone to some pretty wild places, but here I was with as much as I wanted and all I got from this was analgesia (thank god, it hurt like nothing else) and a mild feeling of disassociation from the pain.
How come I got no magic? Could it be the pain/accident had flooded me with adrenaline. Maybe the 50% oxygen had some counter-anaesthetic effect, especially with me huffing so hard. I must have had crazy hyperoxia.
