How bad for you is Nitrous Oxide out of a whip cream can?

How bad is it compared to dentists nitrous and automotive nitrous? I understand the dangers compared to other drugs, and that it can deplete your B-12 vitamins through oxidation over a period of time and eventually paralyze you (if you use it regularly for around 2 months).
 
It's not bad at all.. Don't inhale while the canister is filling up the as this can freeze ya insides.. Screw on the "bulb", wait for the canister to fill up.. leave it a few more seconds then slowly inhale..

There's pretty much no health risks if you do it properly (minus falling over :p)
 
If you are referring to a can full of whip cream, I'd adivise against it. I always felt like that's how ya get moldy whipped cream lungs. If you mean a cracker for home made whip cream, it should be less dangerous. Not nearly as good as medical grade though.
 
Not sure how safe it is, but put a balloon over the nozzle & fill 'er up if you're gonna do it.
My friend told me once that like 90% of the N2O passess unmetabolised, so in theory you could keep inhaling/exhaling into the same balloon for a bit. But I never bothered to look into that, so IDK if it's true.

This is how I have done it in the past, but with medical grade stuff (yay for diver/medic/dentist friends) Fill balloon --> inhale/exhale deeply out of balloon a few times and enjoy/drool all over yourself. Make sure you're sitting down. They call it hippy crack for a reason. Once you have one balloon you're gonna keep wanting more. Some people hate it.

Food grade nitrous will most certainly contain more impurities than medical grade (gasses that are not nitrous)

Automotive nitrous contains sulfur and MUST NOT BE INHALED. I have formed the opinion that buying whippets or huffing it from the can of whip cream just isn't worth it.
 
It's rather pointless and costly to get your nitrous oxide from whipped cream canisters at the grocery store. I'd need a good three of them, just for a few minutes of high, at comparatively high prices.

I'd imagine it's not likely to be damaging, though. Just wasteful. It's not going to be pure nitrous, either, it'll likely have other gases in it - which, I guess, could be dangerous depending on which ones, though not very severely.

Also, to the person who said 90% remains after nitrous oxide inhalation, you're correct. You can inhale the stuff and then exhale it into a balloon for re-inhalation, keeping the high going, from one "use". I read that it was 95-99% expelled in your breath, with possibly as little as one percent reaching your circulatory system, and much less reaching the brain. Theoretically, you can use one dosing of nitrous oxide, and by conserving the gas when breathing out (ballon or otherwise) and re-inhaling, stretch the high for quite a long time.
 
^no sourcing please.

Also a person I have known has died of asphyxiation doing this. He couldn't stop glugging. Another case I've heard of is a person going into a seizure and dying almost instantaneously after inhaling nitrous. To me, there is a lot of untold risk with it. I know when I was young I did it with some of my mates and they had to remove the balloon from me too as I was going to choke myself, but felt it was worth it for the high. At a level hypoxia comes into play and you're effectively putting yourself down nicely.
 
there is a nitrous oxide gas tap in one of the labs at uni. needless to say i spent 6 hours in there one night high as a kite freezing things with liquid nitrogen and shattering them with a hammer. the whole room was filled with NO2.

But if you mix it with LSD i have heard you can get some serious damage to your CNS if you do it too often.

And yes asphyxiation is possible if there is no oxygen
 
IME, if you use occasionally, keep an adequate amount of oxygen in your system, and stay in a safe environment, there is little to worry about.

And no driving while on nitrous!

I've always found Nos balloons greatly enhance the effects of other drugs, most noticeably MDMA and LSD/Mushrooms. Infact (IME) doing a balloon while on acid can complete change the direction of your trip.
 
Yeah it takes a few cans of whip cream to really get going though. Ahh i remember when i was 16 and i had a friend go into a publix and literally destroyed multiple cans of whip cream in the dairy aisle. Then wobbled the hell outta the store like nothing happened. It was cost effective i suppose. Ha!
