A lot of people here seem to piss on the idea that of taking nitrous while under the influence of MDxx compounds, so I am here to put all the facts out and shut up all the e-tards who have done no research to back up their hostilities to this wonderful gas.

The good:
-Let's start off with the fact that nitrous has NO LD50, however it does have an LC50. (The LC50 in rats is 160 mg/m3 over 6 hrs.) This means that it was in the air at about 89 parts per million over 6 hrs of exposure. The air we breath contains 210,000 PPM of oxygen and about 780,000 PPM of nitrogen.
-The amount of nitrous you would be taking from a balloon or whippet is not much more than you take in anyway, you are not killing brain cells by cutting off oxygen to your brain like most people believe. That only happens when you deprive yourself of oxygen, oh hey, can you hold your breath for more than 5 seconds?
-Nitrous feels amazing when you're rolling, if you enjoy the feeling you get from MDxx compounds, you will enjoy nitrous. Taking a hit of nitrous and hitting a bowl of marijuana feels like you're rolling on it's own, adding that to a roll already is MONSTER!
-Nitrous is NOT duster. Duster contains difluoroethane, trifluoroethane, or tetrafluoroethane (all fluorocarbons). N2O is obviously a very different gas, don't confuse it with the very dangerous fluorocarbons.
-Nitrous is used in medicine extensively. Ever been put under at the dentist? You took in a good deal of nitrous (when dentists put patients under with nitrous they make sure that they mix oxygen is so they don't kill their clients).


The bad:
-There are really three ways of dying from nitrous, the first is strapping a mask to your face and passing out (eventually forever), or falling after you take in some nitrous and hitting your head on the ground hard enough. The third way is feezing your lungs, which is next to IMPOSSIBLE to do.


The ugly:
-Nitrous is very easy to abuse because of how short lasting it's effects are. It is also known as "Laughing Gas" and "Hippy Crack". Because it doesn't last that long some people develop addictions to the gas. Don't let this happen to you, it's alright to want to take more but it should not be used daily, like any drug.
-In large quantities over a long span of time, nitrous causes vitamin B12 deficiencies (Nitrous oxide inactivates the cobalamin form of vitamin B12 by oxidation). People with normal vitamin B12 levels have stores to make the effects of nitrous oxide insignificant, unless exposure is repeated and prolonged (nitrous oxide abuse).
-If you have subclinical vitamin B12 deficiencies DO NOT take nitrous, you are the biggest risk factor for harm due to nitrous oxide, following by pregnant women.

Stop smoking cigarettes and pushing down nitrous, I like to take nitrous while I'm rolling while many people choose cigarettes. I will live longer just because of that fact. Be smart, stay safe :)

So feeling good = safe drug?
so I am here to put some of the facts out

Fixed.
 
He didn't say that it is safe simply because it feels good... And honestly, if you took the time to do some research, you would find out that it actually is quite safe. Don't just quote him out of context and draw shitty conclusions so you can craft a nifty looking insult in a forum, provide some insight if you disagree.

I was attempting to make a joke :| Apparently I failed. My apologies to the OP.

And no research is necessary because I already know of it's relative safety.

I never said I disagreed with him I was just having a little fun. Christ :\

Glad your havin fun bro, keep it up!

There is plenty of research to show that nitrous is safe, unless you overdo it. Beyond that, experience tells me that it's fine. I have been doing nitrous with MDMA for ten years. I have done hundreds and hundreds of whippets and if I've lost braincells, it doesn't show. I am definitely one of those drug users that surprises people. Everyone who knows me (that doesn't know I use drugs) would be shocked if they found out, because I do not appear "damaged". Would I be better off if I had never done them? Maybe, but it's impossible to tell and the same could be say for MDMA, Alcohol, Weed etc.

People are just scared of them because without looking into it, they associate them with inhalants or duster, which are not the same thing.

Nitrous on it's own to me is lame, it doesn't last long and it's just a minor buzz. Nitrous on MDMA is amazing though. It takes you to another world... a whole new level of rolling. Nothing blows you up harder.
 
I've never done nitrous before, care to explain how long it lasts/what it feels like?

I know this is a harm reduction website but read above ^ ^ ^ ^
I bet there are countless people who have read something on here and form a new habit because they were misinformed of something and now know the real information. So in the end result this website is great for finding real information on drugs, but also gets people on more drugs and substances.
I guess its a trade off : P
 
I am going to have to agree with the OP on this one. Rollin + Herb + NO2= Great fucking time. Used to know this automotive spot that would fill tanks for a couple years, but unfortunately they do not do it anymore. Back then there would be lines of people waiting to fill their tanks. Sometimes it would even take an hour because of the line. I used to love watching the 30 random people waiting inside/outside, then getting their tanks and cruising home for party time.

I haven't used NO2 in a year or two now. It was so much fun though. I can still remember my first balloon. It almost seemed like when I took the first inhale, everything went silent for like 30 seconds. Then after that, there was a steady tone of sound just coming back into my brain, everything got almost wavy and went I spoke, I sounded like a basketball player. So much fun

Never used dust off and never will. That is some chemicals that are not just NO2 and really bad for you, just watch that episode of intervention with "Allison" and you will know exactly what I mean.

Anyways all this talk has me wanting that stuff again LOL maybe one day soon we will see, but it is epic while rollin for suuuuuure

For me, it would't last longer than 3-5 mins. But like it's name, hippy crack, you cannot just have one. Next thing you know you will be huffing it like crazy. Gives pretty much a Euphoria sensation. Music sounds fucking amazing, I always find myself just looping one great track over and over again. Also would give the opposite vocal sound of helium, instead of having that alvin and the chipmunk voice, you would get this Barry White deep low tone. Anyways shit is mad fun, but it is not something you want to make a daily habit of. I am sure maybe using it once and awhile isn't that bad, but don't do it everyday
 
Trust me nitrous is amazing while rolling, I gave my gf head while she was rolling and hitting nitrous, and she was just O_O total speechless shocked in pleasure

Nitrous Oxide used in automobiles contain sulfur compounds(I believe to make the combustion easier), so DO NOT inhale auto nitrous.

And for the record guys nitrous oxide is N2O not NO2. NO2 is nitrogen dioxide which is quite toxic when inhaled.

Thanks for that, I actually forgot to include that part when I started the thread :) Auto grade is fucked up. The only safe nitrous you can inhale is medical or food grade.

EDIT: They pump sulfur dioxide into auto grade nitrous tanks to prevent people from doing the easily accessible nitrous. (Nitrous is legal but not for human consumption.)

This is NOT true.

Taking nitrous alone will kill you very quickly. There needs to be some air added to the mix.

Not so long ago some silly kids in Australia scored a bottle of nitrous and opened it in there car. They all died.

Please fix that part of your post.

Cheers.
 
I definitely don't mean to knock nitrous, nor do I think it's toxic, but I've wondered about its mechanism of action. I believe it's because blood (hemoglobin I guess) has a higher affinity for the N2O than it does for O2, so O2 is displaced. The effect being the brain is temporarily deprived of O2. It's clear this happens very quickly, so soon after the N2O is removed the O2 returns.

What's strange is the sensation of nitrous doesn't feel like holding your breath for a really long time. (which is really not fun at all in my experience)

Doesn't seem likely to me that short exposure would cause any kind of brain damage, but I know I get a minor headache if I do a lot.

Anyone know better how N2O works?

Oops, my bad. Nitrous does not have an LD50 but I forgot that it does have an LC50.

Extae, nitrous does not bind to your hemoglobin.

It's really hard to explain obviously, just like rolling is hard to explain to someone who has never done it, but if you've ever blown up before... it's like that times 10. When you're done taking the whippet in, you feel so good, you can't move for a minute and you're in another place. Usually at the end of it, all I can say is "WOW" because there are no other words to describe the utter bliss that you just felt.

It only lasts a few minute, but it boosts the roll over all. They are also nice with LSD and mushrooms, but that's a different forum.
