I tried it recently and honestly I liked it
I think I'll do it a few more times then just stop which is what I did for heroin and mdma
it gave me a very euphoric high that lasted a few minutes
the thing that makes me not wanna do this again is that it was very easy to get which when that's the case for a drug I usually flock back to it many times so yeah I'll do it a few more times then leave it on the shelf
 
No idea thats lighter fuel right. "Butane in my vain ... " from Beck came up. Is that related to that ? Sound s a bit more dangerous then doing N2O, for a short lasting buzz.

 
L.P.G. got one no clue what it would do but sound s a bit like N2O which is a tease. Not really worth it after the initial few times. People go through tanks here not little canisters. What s the effect you experience from Butane ?

the experience I get from it is extreme euphoria and minor hallucinations
I don't huff it for more than 4-5 seconds so I'm not getting full effects which is probably good
 
Butane like many inhalants, but unlike nitrous oxide can put you in a state where you are likely to have a heart attack. This is how people “suddenly die” when abusing inhalants, not asphyxiation.

Yup sudden sniffing death used to be in the news here quite abit with all the people up north that used to huff gas years ago.
 
Way back in the day, probably even before I knew what N2O was I watched a documentary about a woman/mom in the uk who was addicted to butane. Her house was littered with cans. Even her kids couldn't get her out of the house. On that day I said I would never use butane as a drug/intoxicant.

Since then I've probably inhaled a lot in the process of extracting cannabis, but never got a noticeable psychoactive effect.
I've inhaled a few Liters of ether though and I'll never touch the stuff again. I think over time we build up toxcity to solvents for example a friend of mine after years can no longer work around hexane after years of exposure. I will say out of all the simple chained alkanes butane and pentane are less toxic than some of the others.

The one inhalant I WOULD do is xenon :D

There s a thread on Butane
Last comment someone saying they likely caused brain damage. yikes
 
Wonder what happen s when some one takes a good drag using a lighter. The gas is taste able, when overdone. Never knew that it was bad or thought about it. Wonder what burning it gives as possible residue. When you inhale, different problem :unsure: never really thought about it.

In a train in France was this figure that sort of was checking us to rob. Persistent we catched him in between the two compartments huffing from a spray can without the cap. Look s as a real desperate drug.

I discovered this last winter. Since I was a child I've been the person called upon to drive things spewing CO (carbon monoxide) into the cab because I would not become sick from it no matter how much I inhaled. Other people would get horribly sick within seconds of being in those cars but I could do 200 laps in them no problem. Won several times over the years because I was the only person in a field that wasn't driving dizzy and puking all over the place.

Last winter I was driving a tractor with a rusted out tail pipe which eventually broke off all together. As a result the exhaust blows right on you the entire time you're using it. My father refused to let me fix it because he likes the warmth it provides in winter and for whatever reason CO doesn't bother him yet (not as much life time exposure I'm guessing).

I was on the thing for 10 minutes last summer and got sick. Couldn't figure it out. 30 minutes away and I felt much better and was able to continue driving it to finish the work we were doing that day. Last winter I fired it up to scrape the drive way and got horribly sick within minutes. Had to call upon my father to come do the work. Early this spring I was tuning an engine on the dyno in a garage. Even with the fans going I got sick within minutes.

Life time exposure building up is a thing. It really sucks. No more relief driving when a car has pushed in crush panels for me. Probably going to rob me of the little wheel time I could have gotten going forward.

I rarely use butane to light anything but weed anymore and barely touch bud with it because I usually smoke in a bowl these days. But I'm a chain smoker when it comes to tobacco. I use a zippo I've been carrying around for decades now and naphtha as a gas for it.

Naphtha is well known to cause headaches and other ill effects for people that smoke. Due to this all of the old timers that smoke cigarettes would let it burn off and not inhale the first couple of puffs whenever they lit a smoke. I know because a bunch of them taught me that when I first started smoking and complained about getting headaches after switching over to a zippo lighter. They laughed pretty hard and then schooled me on this.

I think butane is cleaner for lighting plant leaf. At least it never gave me that issue with smoking tobacco. Tobacco itself is bad enough with all the crap in it these days. I switched to rolling my own with locally sourced tobacco to avoid all the chemicals because of that. But it doesn't stop the issue with smoking causing elevated levels of CO in your blood. Which makes me wonder if maybe I could avoid some of the issues I have with CO in the air now if I gave up smoking (not going to happen). For whatever reason my heavy tobacco habit hasn't started to give me headaches yet. At least not that I know of.

When I was young we tried getting high off gasoline a few times. Stupid idea. The short lived high wasn't worth the few seconds of wah-wah-wah and laughter. We quickly moved on to smoking pot not long after and never looked back. I had some other friends that said freon was the bomb diggity. That got in BIG trouble when their parents found out they'd gone through the large supply they stacked up when the bans came down on it in the early-mid 90s. They'd stacked up tons of the stuff for cheap and when my friends went through their supply it would have costs 10s of thousands of dollars to replace it. Never tried it myself.

I've done nitrous oxide a handful of times. It's fun but a pretty big waste of money after the first couple of balloons. Last time we did it we had one of those whip creme canisters and that was better than using a popper but still pretty boring after the first couple of carts.
 
No. Just no.

Did N2O in a gay disco in Amsterdam once (or twice, don't really remember), and that already didn't feel good.
