Misc how bad are inhalants?:

[lemongaga]

I have been getting my self into a lot of trouble lately due to amphetamine use until yesterday I started using inhalants. it's the best feeling in the world. I was huffing for hours last night and have no idea what happened because now it's the morning. I remember the computer falling at one point. Maybe my dad will tell me when he wakes up because I had loud speakers on. Anyways would someone give me the LEGITIMATE risks and not the ones overhyped by media or anti drug agencies? I'm a very suicidal person by nature so I need to be sedated/high at all times.

You know how DARE told you one hit of heroin could kill you?
Getting high on inhalants once CAN kill you.
If you deprive yourself of oxygen in the right way...
You're asphyxiating yourself as much as you're getting high...

It's also TERRIBLE on your body,
AWFUL hangover (as you're experiencing),
and the MOST FLEETING of highs.

^ This guy is not exaggerating nor trying scar tactics.

Inhalants are the most dangerous and absolute dumbest drug to consume. All they do is actually kill brain cells.

How old are you? Why can't you find better drugs?

Please don't go down the short road of inhalant abuse.

my age is not important but i am not able to use any other drugs or alcohol because of legal reasons. that's why

I think you're a teen but anyway, if you're suicidal inhalants are not gonna help in the long term, go see doctors who actually know what to give you. Risks depend on which inhalant is being used. But a common risk of all inhalants is not getting enough oxygen.

A friend of mine a literal friend, not myself used to inhale 3 cans of deodorant at a time and hallucinated intensely. She now suffers from drug induced schizophrenia. If that's not a good enough reason I don't know what is.

Oxygen deprivation isn't even the main risk.

If you're taking inhalants directly from a can you can give your lungs frostbite (which will also lead to oxygen deprivation) due to the gases supercooling after uncompressing. Also, inhalants can cause instant cardiac arrests. Using inhalants is truly playing the drug equivalent of Russian roulette.

If you're going to be using them ensure you at least spray into a bag mixed with air, and then inhale from that bag rather than the can (to prevent the frostbite). Careful though as if you pass out you can then choke on the bag. Seriously though, even with this precaution inhalants are incredibly dangerous.

This x 1000.

The only safe inhalant I can think of would be nitrous oxide obtained from whippet cans, etc. It can still be dangerous though if the inhalation technique is bad. Use these if you're intent on doing them but do not touch solvent inhalants, such as butane, etc.

They will damage you.

I think you're a fucking moron. @flyhighk - I'd rather not waste any more time/$ visitng incompetent scam artists with medical degrees but thanks for the brilliant advice! @bamboo--- how long was your friend inhaling before she tripped into psychosis and how long has she been off? I fell into psychosis from amphetamines that lasted an additional 6 months while sober and am wondering how permanent her effects may have been. It's tragic either way and I acknowledge her tribulations with EMPATHY because I have been there--- and it is terrifying.

@jackeh - I don't completely understand what you are suggesting. I tried the whipped cream and felt nothing. In jail we huffed air sanitizer sprayed into a juice cup with a plastic bag (had been put in a quarantined sort of dorm with 3 other girls under false pretenses and one of the more laid-back guards allowed us to use it for a few minutes to clean) that did something. I've been using the air duster for computers atm.

Also, despite whatever generic and sheltered perception of life you are living in, I am NOT a teenager by any means and have spent years going to doctors (psychiatric & holistic) have tried several medications, supplements, religion, spirituality, 12-step, self-help,e tc - to no avail... I face prison time with your illicit drug of choice recommendations and since literally just existing feels like torture, I'd prefer to dance with something that might calm my nerves.

 

[brutus]

There's no safe way to abuse any kind of inhalant and discussion of abusing inhalants will not be allowed. You are being condescending while others are trying to help you.

You didn't do it right then. The whipped cream stuff is famous for working, many people use it regularly.

I think you're better going for whippet cannisters though rather than the regular spray whipped cream bottles.

Have you thought of looking up legal highs?

From a harm reduction point of view it may not seem to be good to suggest, but if you definitely want to get high while keeping it legal then they might be your best bet. Lookup "research chemicals" if you're interested, examples include chemicals like MPA, 2-AI, AMT, ethylphenidate, methoxphenidine. They all have their own unique effects just like your regular illegal drugs, make sure to research about them before ordering any though.

She used daily for about a year. And it has been 7 years since she stopped and still suffers from psychosis. The damage she done to her brain is permanent. It is really is not worth it. Please be careful.

Summed up:

Our understanding of the literature is that there is no such thing as safe use of most volatile solvents, aerosols or other street inhalants : their psychoactive effects may be inseparable from nerve and organ damage.

@brutus I'm o nly being condescending to the retard who is questioning my age which is notorious for being a slick insult ---- scroll up and read again- haven't been rude to anyone else here.

and @jackeh lol obviously i 'm not doing it right- i have no idea what i am doing . i'd rather just drink and smoke but that's not an option :/


and @bamboo that's really f*ckn scary. How long did her daily use continue before it triggered the first "psychotic" episode?

 

[lemongaga]

I quit smoking cigarettes- went back to vegetarianism... Have no other alcohol or drugs in my body and avoid chemically processed food- I generally only drink water as well so couldn't that help my chances? I feel myself getting MUCH dumber though from the adderall--- and I've been chugging sugarfree redbull a lot lately.

Actually, I am fcukingi stupid now tohat sucks and if there is no way to reverse the damage then I'm going to keep going.

 

[lemongaga]

also, I couldn't use daily- I feel hungover as hell and can't stand up without being in extreme physical pain. Ithink I'd have more recovery periods

 

[Bambooshoot]

Considering every time she took it she tripped you could say from day 1. But being psychotic while sober? It took a few months. It doesn't really seem to matter what is being said to you though. Sounds like your heart is set on it. Only you can control what you do, not strangers over the internet. They have the warning 'solvents can kill instantly' on the bottles because it can. So tred carefully. EDIT ; also try and edit your posts instead of bumping your thread with more posts when you have something to add.

 

[rednosed]

Why bother asking if you don't care about the answer?

 

[Cuzie]

Does NO2 count as an inhalant? I used to do whippets from a whip cream can back in the day. I was going to suggest it in another thread, but then I realized I never actually did any research of its risks.

 

[lemongaga]

I know - a mod just told me to stop doing that , which is hard because that's how I type online (It bugs people in chat rooms too) will work o n that


but sounds like I have my mind made up --- sounds like you are being sort of judgmental and stupid! My mind is made up on using something to rid myself of pain but I'm still looking into alternative methods. I researched meth for years/read tons of input on this site and finally made some post about it and decided NOT to use when I was a walk down the hall away from using (hard user in the same house) so please stop projecting your negative assumptions on me. I'm asking for information, that's all.

and I don't know @cuze : when I think of no2 I picture that nos/no5 energy drink st uff I have no idea. but my head is banging and this light is hurtin g my eyes.

You're being difficult to the people who gave you the answers you asked for, don't take it so personally. You're not going to find any hidden truth that doing this is ok in ANY way.

The legal thing? Search harder, please, for your own sake. If it truly is an issue of legality, you can get around it by using things not tested for, especially RC/synthetic chemicals you can order online. Normally I wouldn't recommend this to somebody, but considering you're huffing duster you'd be much better served doing practically ANY chem you can easily find to order. Seriously.

Really though, you need to reconsider your approach to life as with this 'fuck it get messed up at any cost' attitude you will suffer and die eventually, sooner rather than later. /obligatory preaching
