The Airduster Experience

[kasey gender]

So I've tried to find information online about airduster & the few actual posted reports were very different from what I have expeirenced. I am in no way condoning the use, but want the actual information of an actual user to be out there, so here it goes...

Last year I was with some friends, and we decided to do air duster. I didn't do it right at first, and while my friends were giggling, and drooling all over themselves I was sitting there like an outcast.

Flash foward about a week and my friends were at it again. I decided this time I was going to do it for real. We had the straw taken off, and I held it upside down, and sprayed it right into my mouth. The bitter taste was repulsive but I kept inhaling. I could not feel the effects so I kept on going. When I finally put the can downn, and breathed is when I felt it. I had tunnel vision, everything was slow motion, there was a wa wa sound in my ear. I could see peoples mouths moving but didn't hear a sound. When I spoke my voice was extremley deep. I felt the most inexplicable, beautiful joy in the world. It was so beautiful it hurt. I would laugh in slow motion, and with out realizing it slobbering all over myself. The high lasted a few minutes and I wanted more. So I kept going.
The girls I were with kept fighting over the cans. Some of them had mild hallucinations and fought over the cans, getting very angry.
I just kept laughing and inhaling. Life was pure bliss. The more I kept at it the longer the high. I didn't come completley down till about an hour later ( and 2 cans later) I had a bit of a headache and mild naseua but other than that was fine. Nothing compared to a hangover!
I did this for a month straight, lost about 5 pounds, and was beautifully happy.
As the days passed by I became dumber & dumber. I would forget EVERYTHING and my mind would randomly blank out. I felt stupid.
It was so easy to hide, its insanse. I finally stopped doing it when I got caught at school with triple c's but that's a whole nother story.
People say its not addicting but it is. Once you start you keep wanting more. To this day I still think about it. Yesterday I did a whip it (nothing compared to duster) and now I want some more. I don't regret it, even though I know how stupid it is but if ever presentedwith the chance to do it again I know I would.

have you read how dangerous it is to abuse inhalants (minus nitrous oxide)

do not try duster again, you can die from asphyxiation/choke on your own vomit/have a cardiac arrest, just from messing up with duster in one sitting

its like sniffing glue or petrol, whatever high it produces theres sooooooo many downsides to fucking with that shit

 

[kaywholed]

I have pretty much always openly mocked people dumb enough to try inhalants. And basically everyone agrees that it is full retard.

You experianced it, now never do it again so that you don't ruin your brain/life and I don't need to make jokes about how stupid you are.

I know when to stop. I'm not dumb.

Triple Cs are pretty terrible for you too. CPM=no recreation.
Definitely be careful with the inhalants...
Interesting experience though, thanks for sharing.

I've always been curious as to what it's like, but I won't ever do it.

I know when to stop.

You went on to use it for over a month until you started forgetting everything/felt stupid. Your last sentence of your post -'but if ever presented with the chance to do it again I know I would'.

Makes me think you don't actually know when to stop at all - there really isn't a safe way to use 'duster' or huffing paint / gas etc. I'm not sure if these kind of reports are actually allowed but no doubt the mods will make that choice when they see the post.

Isn't it well known since even elementary school that using inhalants like this can kill you on your first or hundredth time? Think about that probability. It's quite literally Russian Roulette. You DONT know when to stop if you are doing it AT ALL.

And holy shit, I'm more than anything a reader and I'm very frequently pissed off at these threads, where literally 10 people in a row persist on telling somebody (who admit careless fault in their original post) that they're stupid and should never have done that , but I'm going to for this time be that guy. Some girl like 50 feet from where im living Just died from huffing that shit.

I didnt know her and quite honestly I'm not moved by her death, nor do I care about any random stranger on the internet, but huffing these things is just plain STUPIDITY and I feel obliged to chime in.

Have a nice day, sorry to chew your ass out as I admit that I don't care about you, being a stranger and all, just hope you take the advice

Wow - pretty harsh words? When I consider the role of a lot of the threads on Bluelight I think its based on caring about random strangers on the internet?

its harsh, its inappropriate, but i digress. i try not to be moved by most tragedy as it is constant, but selectively in the media. Im not cold and evil, but seriously, why should I lie? I used those words as emphasis of how stupid I feel the act of huffing air duster is. probably would have gone better off if I had not said it, but then again who cares. whether or not this person can sleep at night because a random anonymous pissed off kid doesnt care about them is entirely irrelevant to the big picture, once again i digress as i probably should not have said it either.


whether or not anyone cares about anyone or simply puts on this 'harm reduction' front to justify their own poor or uneducated choices, to help them sleep at night.. I guess can't really be known. depends how cynical you are, or if someone actually states their reasoning

it kind of comes across that you dont care about people on the internet because you feel you have nothing to gain from them (although there is a lot to gain)

even if you could care less about people because of the decisions they made its better not to verbalise that (especially in TDS)

i dont think people fake empathy to make up for past mistakes, it feels good to help others even if you dont know them IRL

I just wanted to put my experience out there. I know there is not a lot of information due to the embarssment of it in society and i wanted people to know of it.

For a lot of people who use this site 'random people' are usually the only people they have in their lives who do actually care about them. Some people simply do not have any other support group available to them so a lot of us on here actually do care about other people. You yourself have shown compassion in your previous threads, you are also sharing your story of addiction to alcohol (which I read before I commented).

I was curious about your post - I had ready your previous posts (prior to commenting) and this one seemed pretty out of place excessively harsh. If you genuinely do not care about people on the site, and your not moved by the death of somebody living so close to you (random stranger or not) then that is your choice. It, to me is a very alien way of thinking and living.

Tragedy is a constant, but should not make you numb to feeling? Either something for the person, their loved ones, your own life, your own loved ones etc. Anyway as you say we digress and are taking the thread way off topic.

Take care of yourself

I'm going to go ahead and shut this thread. In the spirit of harm reduction I think it's a good idea to discuss the effects of airduster or other harmful intoxicants, but this thread doesn't seem to be going in a constructive direction.
