Clubbers’ laughing gas craze claims its first life

He fucking put a plastic bag over his head!!

Darwin Award


I was wondering when some idiot would do that. The bag is almost as stupid as opening the valve on a tank in your car with all the windows and vents shut. Darwin is alive and well;)

No drug is safe, but N2O is one of the safest. I spent the millenium celebrations on that mixed with 2CB & opium...


Try to have a few bulbs immediately after smoking DMT, if you can manage it. That was my new years 2006 and is indeed the only time i've tried taking my clothes off because i was so out of it. I 'came to' or realised i was being a dickhead when i discovered i was dancing/vibrating in the middle of the road (my street is barely used so not as dumb as it sounds). However the visions were SO strong and the euphoria made cry and laugh sporadically. Yes, everyone at the party thought i'd gone crazy- little did they know that i had been navigating a world of hallucination. Naturally repeating the experiment yielded similar effects, thus i can't remember much real from the night.

As to safety, if you use a soda or whipped cream-maker, asphyxiation would be so unlikely as to be virtually impossible. i would never take nitrous any other way, or balloons maybe. I also always take vitamin b supplements after using nitrous. Harm reduction/subtraction in this case...

Nitrous Oxide is definitely legal in the usa. Many headshops and sex shops sell dispensers and cannisters.


What a horrible way to die.


I dunno, I think he'd be in la la land from the nitrous before the sufforcation aspect got to him-- possibly a suicide?
 
If I were you I'd be much more pissed than just saying to each other "he had bag over his head" nobody cares about that but this article and the others like it will go a long ways towards illegalization of nitrous in much the same way as the deaths of 2 athletes made ephedrine illegal - in the US.
 
It's just so sad that people who die from drugs usually have not done them 'sensibly'... Placing a bag over your head is dangerous enough even without doing nitrous... Then the media gets all hyped up and takes great pride in trying to say it was the drugs that caused the death... when in fact there were most likely many other contributing factors...

Another story in the media about the death 'due to nitrous oxide' was when somebody thought up the idea of sitting in a car while the nitrous flowed out of a cylinder and filled the car they were sitting in...

You can buy it in whipped cream chargers (they look like CO2) in boxes of 20 in alot of places. Be sure it is rated for food/medical consumption, the NO2 used for engines is industrial grade and from what I understand is not usually suitable for consumption.

I have my doubts about the suitability of whip cream chargers for inhalation.. that greasy black stuff that accumulates in the cracker and on the balloon cannot be good to inhale
 
^I haven't noticed any buildup on my cracker...could it be from dust/condensation? Food grade is supposed to be fairly pure.

That happened a Sydney suburb a couple of years ago, 2 were found dead, and the other 2 unconscious with some brain damage but alive.. apparently the last words a neighbour heard from the car was "I'M A HELLICOPTER!"
 
I did know someone personally that passed out w/a hose in his mouth off a tank & died. His Dad sold ice cream, they used nitrous to push soft ice cream out of the machines.
 
I do think N20 is actually pretty bad for health. Unless it is administered with lots and lots of oxygen (way more than you can get when you breathe) it will starve the brain of oxygen and thereby cause all sorts damage to neural connections.... since a major binge on the stuff I've had some difficulty with my left pinkie... I somehow feel it less and there's less strength in it. On top of that, N2O inhalation will deplete Vitamin B12, and that's hard to replace due to difficult absorption.

To each their own, but my love affair with N20 was short-lived. use sparingly if you must.
 
N2o DID NOT kill this man. Lack of oxygen did.

Fucking tools.

Enough B12 and 50% oxygen is all you need. Dentists have no qualms putting patients under with it for hours even.
 
that shit dentists give you didn't knock me out. I had a wisdom tooth pulled recently and they gave me a coctail of IV valum, atropine, and another drug i forgot, and on top put the nitrous nose thing on me. i guess i just have some sort of tolerance to those drugs or drugs in general, because I was awake and alert the entire operation. sons of bitches charged me for "general anestesia" too, basically I paid however much extra it is for that just to get pretty high for a few minutes. waste of time IMO.
