dammit...there used to be a whippet icon
Well, let's see....you guys are on BL, presumably because you think there's a bit of drug knowledge on the site I would hope. But my hopes are dashed if people are pulling information out of their ass to build an argument supporting their
opinions ... something they are entitled to, but they ought not be a bitch about and use as a foundation for slamming other people's views, especially when they get called on it. Glad to see the semi retraction and admission that opiate withdrawals are at play in the attitude shown (feel for you, good luck with it). I'm not so surprised to see an admission following indicting you haven't even tried the drug but are willing to jump at the OP with
your opinions as if they are fact. As to the ease of trolling a forum like this - you'll get your ass handed to you in a sling, fast. It'd be easy, and you'd be banned, simple as that - we have other 'social' forums for those games if you choose to play them. For our drug discussion (DD) and focus forums (FF) they tend not to tolerate that crap as it interferes with the dispensing of actual information - the purpose of those forums is to educate much more than it is to entertain.
Let's back up again...we're BL, right? So, we've got a few heads that have been around the block a time or two when it comes to drugs, right? Do you think those smart cookies might try building a FAQ that isn't biased with governmental drug policy propaganda, that isn't founded on the warning labels outside the box or the opinions of people who've never tried the drug or been around those where were using it? Hmmm....sounds like the kind of stuff you'd find in our
DRUG FAQ section, doesn't it? So, do they have anything on this subject? Why yes, yes they do.
The
Nitrous FAQ even goes into common terms, related paraphernalia, how to use it, what the dangers are, what to watch out for, and a lot of other useful information. Ya'll might want to check that section before trying a drug in the future, or at least before slamming someone else when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Now, granted, the damn thing was written in 2000...but has the drug or anything about it really changed since then? I say no. But if anyone sees an opportunity to update that FAQ (or any other) with more recent (factual) information - the site, and all it's readers (lurkers or registered) would appreciate it....provided they get outside of heresay and actually look for some freakin' information when talking about something.
I'm going to step off the preachers pulpit on finding information at this point. If you're interested, you can read the links I provided. If not...that remains your choice. What I *will* do at this point is offer my own experience since that seems to be the foundation upon which this discussion has chosen to dwell. I can say that absolutely, you can have a fucking good time on just nitrous alone. Without.A.Doubt. Now, having it around to supplement another drug use....well that can make a nice trip awesome (or scary as hell), or turn a solidly good roll into a mind blowing experience, and perhaps the best is just having the gas around for the come down on whatever fueled your night. It's like pushing the elevator buttons to stop on every floor of the come down - you take a brief look outside the elevator doors and get a different view on things....then continue returning to normal operation.
Yes there are dangers, and it is easy to do too much - as it is a short lived high and it becomes easy to just chase that damn rabbit down the hole endlessly (again, it is easier and better as supplement to some other drug...as the other drug takes priority and keeps you from freezing your lips to the dispenser). And yes, you can pass out from too much (/raises his hand....but only one). But one of the best things about it is that you know one of two things will happen - either you pass out (this is perhaps one of the hardest drugs to kill yourself on by accident as you'll pass out before accomplishing this) or you'll be back to earth after a short journey (no fears of those endless acid psychoses or being too fucked up to .... do whatever needs doing - just give it a few minutes and you're as sober as you would have been without it....depending on if you're mixing drugs for the night).
It's a drug you can do alone, or with others....but beware, in a group setting there are always thieves to steal your nangs, and your addiction to them for the moment will make you become a thief when you run out but others still have some. To the point of it, nitrous an be a very enjoyable, and relatively safe, high. Short lived, reasonably easy to obtain, generally pleasant (though some cheaper brands taste like ass in a can, and too much WILL give freezer burn to your throat).....but yes, very enjoyable - alone or mixed with other drugs.
