Inside the Nitrous Mafia, an East Coast Hippie-Crack Ring

you can buy the little tiny n20 cream chargers and just use a cracker.. you can get like 24 chargers for $20.. thats under $1 a hit..
 
lol i'd love to go to a show with some select people and beat the piss out of these 'thugs'. i've seen what someone will do for real drugs these kids are jokes. scaring security? maybe you should hire real security. 'sigh' hippies..
 
you can get whippets, but people value gas out of tanks because its perceived to be better, although this is not true.

if a dude looks sketchy to you dont buy his gas. although there are many organized groups, the majority of gas, especially in the mountains / midwest (ie not the east coast) is still run by kids trying to pay their way to a show. Yes, $5 a balloon is pretty exorbitant considering what you get, but thats market price; so be it.

if you've got a tank and don't want to bother people make a freaking silencer, its not that hard a soda bottle couple socks and tape. move it around a lot, dont stay in one place. encourage people to recycle their balloons (like that'll happen, but you can try)

otherwise, the article is fairly accurate in general

That is fucked up. And having worked as an EMT it's not that uncommon. EMTs begrudgingly rendering service to people with a scowl because they're either on drugs or their drug use is why they are there. And it's hypocrisy because I can't tell you how many EMT's use benzos and prescription opiates. That's fucked up though, if I see someone with a head cracked open, I'm rendering aid, I don't care how it happened.

+1 to you man, seriously. It's good to see people like that still. That regardless of how someone got hurt, you have the knowledge and the capability to help them, and you do. So thanks, man. For real.

But anyways, man.. this shit is fucking crazy, seriously. I never thought, let alone assumed that the nitrous scene was that big. Let alone, that "dangerous." Pretty fucked up, man.

I don't remember where in the article I read it, but the one dude is pretty much right. "If you don't want our drugs, don't buy them." I mean, that pretty much sums it up. But a lot of what they're doing, is fucked up. Or at least, that's how it sounds from the article. If someone "slipped" a tank into my tent, please believe you're not getting it back. Or, if you do get it back, it's going to be empty.

...Fucking hippies.

Hahaha! "Hippie crack" That's so funny. I've never heard it called that before! I have a few friends who looove their whippets and will like that. As funny as that term is though, whippets are definitely not even near as shady and corruptive as crack. I like huffing the odd whippet here and there but it's definitely not my favourite drug by any means. Seriously though, hospitals let you self administer this shit (when medically needed and authorized by a doctor of course, not just for the hell of it) and women have the option of using laughing gas during labour (atleast here in Canada). Whippets are definitely the very least "shady" or dangerous thing I've seen being sold at parties and raves. I'd rather know my child/friend etc was doing whippets then even ecstasy.

I have a friend who is a DJ and he throws parties at his house, he is anything but shady and has access to a whippets tank. He usually always has one at his parties. Equating nitrous oxide vending with shady seems really silly. It's not anymore shady then selling any other type of drug.

Cool, Canada sounds much nicer. Sadly, that isn't the case down here and it is definitely an incredibly sketchy business, and is no joke at all. Shady doesn't even begin to describe it.

@Mydoorsareopen: I think you would be risking a lot man...a few weeks ago my friend was offered 4-5 backstage passes in lot to tell a thug who was "fuckin' up his business with outside gas". They declined of course, but I would bet some kid was willing to spill for him and 5 friends to go in the show. And I don't even wanna think of what happened to the people who were messing with his business...:(

Bingo!

That is what I do. Take a cracker and a box-o-charges to a house party, sell balloons two for five. Easy beer money and a pretty fair trade. That's why I don't think it's right to blame the gas for these atrocities.

If it weren't nitrous it'd be something else. There are bad people in every sector of business, it doesn't matter what the product is.
 
If there were nice little bean-bag chairs and hammocks equipped with a N2O vending machine at these events, we wouldn't have to worry about shady black-market dealers. I can see the potential that N2O has and even if you don't really enjoy the stuff, it works...and damn good to. The rush from NO2 is so intense, it doesn't surprise me one bit hearing about all of these kids spending their money on balloons. The concert/event could make a KILLING if they could legally do this....but they can't, so we must put-up with these thugs who supply this and take the risk. The only way that you are going to stop this is if you regulate this substance for recreational use which I don't see happening.

Or... You can use some sort of a fear tactic if you want to take the risk by being a hero. Simply show up to these shows with some sort of a weapon and shoot the tanks from far away, causing them to explode. Lets see these thugs put these tanks in between there legs again ;)

Just to make sure there are no misunderstandings:
NO2 is a poisonous gas.
N2O is nitrous or "hippie crack" :)
 
Very accurate article, nice read.

Balloons really do litter the grass like shell casings at ALL GOOD and every other large festival
 
Jesus, who would've ever thought that such shady dealing would happen .. with fucking air.

I can picture it now.. "YO SON I GOT DAT AIRBAG"

[/facepalm]
 
I never saw what the big deal with nitrous was anyway. But I guess if people are willing to pay...

Dude, having a ton of nitrous not supplied by these guys and some psychedelics or other dissociatives to combine is absolutely insane.
 
Pay $5 for a balloon of n20 then hit it standing up? lol, these fools need to learn themselves some bluelighting :D fucking dumb shady prick dealers for not at least telling people to sit down before taking the huff..I mean wtf, seriously.
 
What Id like to know is where the fuck were these niggas at All Good this year? Didnt see a single tank, compared to last year where there was 3 or 4 tanks on each side of the road.
