N2O, how often do you do it?

I've recently started inhaling N2O out of whipped cream cans out of sheer boredom.
Much to my surprise I like it, but I'd like to know how often it should be done in order to reduce harm.

 

[tank90]

idk just dnt do that shit every day

 

[feelgoodhit]

Hey, one of the main negative effects of frequent nitrous use is vitamin B-12 deficiency. Track down some vitamin B supplements, there are plenty of B-complex (a bunch of different B-vitamins but together) ones out there. They're good for you anyway, I take b-complex every day! :D

 

[Solipsis]

Hypoxia is also definitely something you risk and it feels pretty bad. My lips turned blue once...
That also comes from your technique though, not a strong inherent property of N2O but I do
believe it helps to cause it.

How often do I do it? Well recently got a new whippetcan for my birthday but before that I
had none for more than a year. When there's ammunition it gets consumed pretty quickly as
a rule. I think I once held onto 100 of them for maybe 2-3 weeks but when partying they run out
very fast.
So it's not often... but when I do it, its not subtle.

I personaly try to do as few as possible, anymore than 9-10 in a single evening makes me feel pretty sick 8(

And besides, is it me or does it just feel a bit silly aswell?

 

[egor]

3-4 cartridges in a night every 6 months or so, and only on the peak of a psychedelic. I still have close to 100 of them, but the urge to redose every time I finish a balloon is no longer present.

 

[nearjat]

With 6 friends I go through about four 24 packs a year. We usually buy a box or two for a party.

Well, theres not much of a dose in whipped cream canisters anyway....a huff every now and then won't harm. I kn ow that it inteferes with wound healing, but when I accidentally almost chopped my hand in half ~24months ago, I was inhaling nitrous (from chargers and in a bulberator) regularlyN (multiple daily).....my hand healed fine, though in the end I was getting no effect from nitrous. You need to use a LOT of N20 for it to affect B12 levels, but better to b safe then sorry- get some B's as FGH said. B12 defincienies manifest as rather nasty problems, which can easily be avoided by supplementing. Personally, I think nitrous is crap unless one is on another psychedelic, even low dose LSD or a bit of cannabis. By itself, its just so addictive, yet doesn't really produce anything all that 'profound' for me.

Also- has anyone hear ever really laughed from it? Because I never have, making me feel somewhat dubious as to how it got its name of "laughing gas". Anyway, I'll merge this with the N20 thread....

 

[aesoppp]

Hmm, I want to try this on a pyschedelic.
Is it really that much better?

Yep! But not often.

1. While going under for surgery I had a TON of nitrous swimming in my lungs. I had never had a psychedelic experience before so the shock having my entire visual field rearranged and the completely alien sense of inner piece manifested itself in immense giggling. I actually said to the surgeon, after asking me if I'm feeling good, that I'm "tripping balls....I'm here, but I'm not here. I can't see my body but I can feel it....lulululululololululu *ego death*"

2. And sometimes, usually when combined with another substance (only time it's worth shit IMO) I get such a ridiculous thought in my head that I actually burst into laughter, confusing everyone around me. Exampl: I was on a tiny bit of MDMA, 50mg of bk-MDMA, and 7.5mg of 2c-e (that combo was awful after an hour and a half). I took a balloon to my skull and glanced up at the trophy buck my friend strangely has in his tiny room. That was slightly funny in itself, but I'm used to laughing at that being altered in that room so many times. Anywhoz, there was trance music playing and my head made up a little scene involving the lovable character "rave deer" who wholeheartedly wants to PLUR it up on the dance floor. Unfortunately because of his less-than-dancefloor-friendly body, he can't help but give a few ravers a hoof to the face every now and then. So yeah I'm picturing that scene, and the deer has big ass eyes with glowsticks strung to his antlers and shit.

My friend and I were silent while this played out ( we both inhaled at the same time) but when the fantasy ended I SCREAMED out laughing, like that poor motherfuckers ears must have been ringing! :D

Sorry for the long post, but I thought that shit was funny. In fact, I'm going to draw up a rave deer to kill the time.

Is pumpkin pie better with whipped cream?

Definitely.
Get some real whipped cream, not the canned or 'cool-whip' stuff.

Nitrous just kills brain cells. If you want a short-acting dissociative trip, try some Salvia D.

Nitrous doesn't kill brain cells. It actually protects them from hypoxia.

And, salvia isn't a dissociative in the NMDA antagonist sense like nitrous oxide, ketamine, DXM, and PCP.

 

[nearjat]

Come on now, a simple google search could tell you that's false!

And if I inhaled something expecting a nitrous experience and got a salvia trip, I'd likely poop my pants, cry, fetal position, and pass out in my own excrement. I can't think of two feelings that oppose each other more strongly, maybe DXM and MDMA.

Nitrous - vitamin B-12 dosage?

SWIM has read many posts about vitamin B12 supplementation as a way of avoiding depletion with nitrous use, but never does it mention dosage... How much vitamin B12 should SWIM take per cartridge (8g) of Nitrous to avoid depletion (to any extent)? Should this be done before or after the inhalation, or both? I'm 155 lbs. by the way. Also, are there other supplements that should be taken, such as follic acid? Please include the # of mg's of each per cartridge of N2O, and please be very specific. thanks

 

[coleman318]

first off, people don't like the use of "SWIM" on bluelight, so If you would edit your post you probably won't get flamed.

I don't really take Nitrous, or know about how B vitamins helps prevents toxicity, so I can't be much help, just letting you know people's feeling about the whole SWIM thing.

Nitrous should be used in moderation, and no sort of supplement will help prevent you from harmful damage if used frequently.

 

[Mr. White]

Unless you're sucking back your own weight in nitrous then dont worry about B12 deficiency.
Deficiency only occurs when there is massive mounts of nitrous consumed for extended periods. Like having multiple boxes per day for weeks.

If you're really that paranoid have some b12, its not the kind of thing you can (reasonably) OD on.


And welcome to BL

 

[Armoth]

I agree with Mr. white, but if you still feel the need to dose up on B-12, taking it as a daily supplement won't hurt you any. That is to say, taking it before or after really isn't the question, having a decent amount in your system before you start inhaling is what you are looking for.

 

[Pretty_Diamonds]

Yeah, nitrous is pretty safe as long as you're not inhaling a shitload everyday. The b12 deficiency is just for really major addicts.

 

[Immunity]

I'd say it would be hard to predict the amount of supplementation needed to thwart deficiency, especially in the specific terms you're looking for. Defining the amount of B12 depleted by nitrous would likely take an extensive number of clinical trials to even roughly define the effect on B12 levels. Defining it to such a fine degree that would allow estimation based on an individual cartridge is highly unrealistic. Even if a single charger could necessarily translate to direct destruction of a defined amount of B12, it would vary widely between individuals based on different metabolic rates and established B12 levels.

B12 deficiency takes some time to set in anyway, so whether you take B12 pre or post nitrous is irrelevant.

Oh, and regardless of the fact that we don't use "SWIM" here, it would hardly be necessary in this context anyway, considering that nitrous is legal to obtain and use recreationally in most places.

Lastly, I would say it might be helpful to place a greater focus on moderation, rather than trying to strictly define the amount of nitrous you can safely consume. In any case, unless you're planning to make nitrous a hardcore much-of-the-day/most-days habit, you probably shouldn't worry about.

 

[Solipsis]

Agreeing with the people above, and just want to add that even thought there shouldn't be a problem with reasonable use - say you just take B12 because it couldn't hurt either take folic acid too because a similar thing happens with that as well.
More importantly: make sure you don't get hypoxic. Getting to the bottom of your nitrous trip is nice, but don't do it at the expense of breathing.
Seriously, I was wasted one time after a party and my lips got a little blue even though I didn't take that much nitrous. I was just not breathing sufficiently
and I felt like shit for perhaps an hour afterwards.
