Turpentine - First Time - A request for other reports...

Inhalants: Turpentine report -- request other reports...

Hi everyone, I'm interested to hear ppl's experiences with inhalants.
Here is my report on how I inadvertedly got high off turpentine one day.

Turpentine Trip Report

One night, I used some turpentine to clean some shit off my sweater. After doing this I threw the soaked rag in my bin and went to sleep.
The next day...
I woke up feeling really sick, with a pounding headache. I noticed flickering little spots in my vision. I didn't know what the problem was. I went to school in a really shitty mood.

I showed up to English. I felt kind of dreamy and brain-dead. Everything seemed a little weird when I looked around. An enemy of mine (formerly a friend) attempted to talk to me. He must have assumed I wasn't pissed off at him any more (how wrong he was). He asked me something I can't remember.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" I yelled in a fit of rage. This caught him by surprise and he was very hurt.
"I was just asking a question," he said, with tears in his eyes.

I was pissed at everything but I didn't know why. I wanted to punish my enemy. I ended up asking if I could leave the class, and I went to the toilets. I spat out lots of phlegm, dirty greyish phlegm with little flecks in it. Then I masturbated and returned to class.

During the next class, which was Computing, I felt really sick and dizzy. I went to sick bay and I threw up in the sink. At this point I figured out that it was the turpentine that must have caused this. Afterwards I went home and went to bed. When I closed my eyes I saw faint hallucinations that were complex and majestic, somewhat like an acid or mushroom trip. I did not have an enjoyable day.

- END -

If you have experienced an inhalant high, I would be interested to hear about the nature of the trip and whether or not it was enjoyable.

N.b. There is no such thing as safe use of volatile solvents, aerosols and other street inhalants: their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage.

Yeaaaah... Ok then... maybe open a window before you go to bed next time.

Trip reports isn't a request forum. moderators will leave this thread open for a short amount of time to gauge the responses you get....
look after yourself - nick

 

[Xherrus]

Ok sorry about the request, my mistake. Still, I hope my report is of interest to some ppl, as there's no report on Erowid for turpentine in the "Inhalants" section.

Maybe open a window before you go to bed next time.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :D

I used to dabble with inhalants...

Nitrous and ether were the best. I No longer do any type of inhalant, and the only reason i did any was because no other drug was around at the time, and i'm an impatient druggy. Well, the nitrous was voluntary, i was curious.

I find that too much of any inhalant makes me panic... i always have a feeling that i've irreparably damaged my brain to a state of being useless... Turns out me are just fine

Phew!

I was thinking, "Oh fuck, this is going to turn into a flame war about the dangers of using inhalants".

When I read that the use was accidental, I was very much relieved.

Your report serves as a good lesson to anyone who has a legitimate use for turpentine or similar.

And for the record, there are plenty of of better cleaning agents than turpentine to get stuff off your clothes

Incidentally when you mention there's no turpentine reports on Erowid, I'm not surprised in the least, considering it's complete ineffectivity as anything, short of a paint brush cleaner.

However, in the interests of TR, this report needs a title change, (remember that whole "substance - experience levels - creative title" deal?). I'll change it for now.

I've tried computer duster before. I thought it was quite fun, and it made me feel really nice. It was kinda weird, it just made my whole body go numb and I lost preception of what was going on. The high only lasts for a few minutes, which sucks because it is pleasant.

my mate used to do gas wen he was like 11 and said once he spun out and saw a cat go blue and then he fell down a flight of stairs..lol

I once accidently spilt methylated spirits in my car and drove around for a while. I felt a bit drunk but that was about it...

Huffing lighter fluid/gas is a very extreme way to get high.
The gap between getting a head buzz and crossing over into a comatose state is deadly. The inhalents starve your brain of oxygen which can result in permanent injury, the extent of which is dependent on the amount of solvent huffed, duration etc.

 

[Rasclatt]

Yea gas is ruff it's for kiddies who have already decided they don't give a shit. Something like 1 in 3 gas users in UK die of liver failure.

A friend of ine used to huff gas. He once told me of a time where he started huffing out of some guys riding lawnmower and for some reason he decided he wanted to drive it. The SOB drove it down the highway while leaning over the tank and huffing more until he ran off the road and passed out. Funny shit. Stick to mainstream drugs.
