questions on nitrous oxide (laughing gas)

[vanonthebeach]

hey whats up guys im new to bluelight and had a question regarding the consumption of medical grade nitrous oxide or laughing gas. i've been helping my uncle clean some hospitals lately, when i noticed a big tank of laughing gas(one in each of the two hospitals we clean). it had this gun looking device then when i pulled the trigger the gas came out of a small metal tube.

anyways, my question is: if i were to go into there tomarow and fill up a baloon to take home, first, would it be safe to inhale from the baloon, and second how many inhalations would i need to feel the effects? would one baloon be enough? and most importantly would the docters notice if a little was missing? i dont want my uncle to lose his job or anything, but i don't think they would notice seeing as there is a gage that says how much gas is inside and if there was any significant drop i would stop.

thanks you guys. this is a bad ass web site.

People would probably notice you wandering around a hospital with a balloon in your hands.

A standard "whippet" of nitrous oxide is 8 to 10 grams of N2O, and you can fit about two of them in a typical party balloon. Usually one balloon full of nitrous oxide is enough to make you feel funny for a few minutes. It's safe to inhale directly from a balloon, not safe to inhale directly from a tank or dispenser.

a T-size tank of nitrous oxide (aka 9x55, Airgas 300. the big steel cylinders the size of a person) holds probably a few thousand liters of compressed N2O. (a 50 liter tank space at 150 atmospheres of pressure). one balloon won't even make the gauge move.

Dunno if anyones ever seen "the OCD Project." It was a series on Vh1/now youtube. This reminded me of that for some reason. Maybe because that made me cry one of the two times in maybe five years, the other being a death in a f family, and I'm sad as fuck. currently

There's a whole part in a hospital.

Sorry, lol. Anyway, I think balloons slowly leak nitrous out. Maybe not. I guess festi balloons. I Maybe had a defective one or hallucinated this reference I'm thinking of.

Dont steal drugs from a hospital..... There are many reasons why this is a bad idea. If you are so desperate to try nitrous oxide buy cream whippets from a hospitality store or preferably order the Whip-It brand medical grade nitrous whippets online, as opposed to all other brands which are just food grade.... You will also need to purchase a device to crack the whippets. Your options are a soda syphon/cream whipper these are the more expensive option or you can buy a nitrous cracker from ebay.

Sorry not sure if this breaches the sourcing rules, i figured it was the best HR advice to give to somebody contemplating stealing from a hospital.
