this thread was inspired by a typical experience on late night public transport in melbourne.

i was sitting minding my own business on the tram up sydney rd. when a dude comes up, really unsteady on his feet and asks me if he can bum a smoke. i said nope. he walked a few seats down. I noticed he and his mate had some bags filled with paint.

I was wondering who has tried chroming? If so whats it like, and did you notice many negative effects? is it similiar to amyl (this is the only inhalent - part from nitrous, I;ve tried) from what i've been lead to believe it can cause brain damage right?

i'm curious about it but doubt I would bother. Nor would I do it on public transport.
 
Check it out on google or something.
I'm pretty convinced it's really bad for your brain, and friends that have tried it have said it's not worth it at all seeing as nangs are readily availiable and do minimal or no harm
 
I've also seen this in Melbourne at Ringwood Train Station, with their green rings around their mouths and their adidas trackies... YUK! (huge generalization, I know)

I'm like you, I've tried amyl but that's it.

I can only imagine the headache/migraine you would get from doing such a thing...

No thaaankyou! :p
 
Never done it, but was acussed of it by a friends parrent when I was like 14 because we just had a lynx deodarate fight, and the house reeked of it.

Silly parents. But from my information it is not a very good way to get high, pretty dangerous. I have no evidence for this, just from years of hear say. Maybe someone can shed some more factual information.
 
Things like this are the reason real drugs are so expensive in this country..

I've inhaled butane before.. that journey into the abyss was enough for me... interesting trip though, being able to control time with a strange blue goo...
 
As perthboy said, hard to justify it when nangs are easily obtainable and a thousand times safer. It's one of the few highs I consider too damaging to be worth it.

Agreed, and from what i've read/seen the high is hardly worth the damage, even in the short term.

Chroming is really rough on the heart if I recall correctly.

One of my dad's mates used to do it (along with inhaling solvents) when he was young.

He's paying for it at the age of 50. Several massive heart attacks and a life expectancy of no more than 60 years old. From what he has said, totally not worth the measly high.
 
I've heard it can put the heart under strain, and even cause brain damage if done regularly. I believe there are also risks with inhaling certain chemicals, which users may not even be aware are present. Not something I've ever thought about trying, so my knowledge is lacking.
 
I have but not the traditional way using paint. It was using aerosole cans that contain

hydrocarbons as the propelant such as butane, propane ect. Like deoderant cans and similar.

Covered my mouth with a towel a few layers and you breath the hydrocarbons filtering alot of shit. *laughs to self*

Used to love it when younger and it got me very high in high doses.

Obviously not reccomended and I know it has screwed me up a little.
 
Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what the hell are 'nangs'?

Nitrous oxide. They use medicinal grade mainly in dentist's to knock u out. I dont think its that great as people make it out to be. Poppers are million times better. Especially with psychedelics or MDMA.

"Nangs" is Aussie slang for cream chargers that contain Nitrous Oxide. Also known as bulbs, whippets, hippie crack etc.

It is attributed to the audial hallucinations that some users hear while under the influence of Nitrous. Nang Nang Nang.

baby jebus just died a little I think.


Is there anyone here who has done both nangs and also chroming? Are they really comparable in terms of the high?
 
Back in the day I used to do a bit of Graff (legal might I add) and my favorite fill was chrome!!!

Man the buzz you would get after going through a few cans was crazy!! Always thought it was just adrenalin that got me buzzing and thats why i always needed a few cones to chill out after wards.

I've done both nitrous and other inhalants.. they're entirely different, you can't compare them, amyl is different again.

Never inhaled spray paint though, and don't intend to... The research i've put into this was enough to spark my curiosity to try butane a few times, but nothing more.

Yeah there's a reason it's good to wear a gas mask if you're painting a lot, inhaling that shit is seriously bad for you. And that's just inhaling the fumes from the air, breathing them directly into your lungs must be that much worse.

Anyone who has travelled on trains on the west of Melb will probably be familiar with the New Zealand kids who just ride the trains and chrome, pretty sad, some of them look no more than 11 or 12 years or old.
