    I want to try Nitrous, but I wanted to ask others about it first. What does it feel like, how long does it last, and what is the best way to use it? Thanks

    you usually need to buy one of those tanks from medical suppliers to get enouhg to get high off. most beginners take about 20 lungfulls, but nitrousheads sometiems require a whole 50 litre tank

    WTF?

    I crackem in my balloon and get a good lungful, hold it for a few sec and realease, and then the fun comes.

    A 50 litre tank would last me, individually a solid month, maybe a week if I did it al the time.

    you might as well go suck on some exhaust.. has the same effect on your body.. nitrogen, carbon.. who cares.. either way, with the rising availability someones gonna get stupid with it and kill emselves with it.. because its a bloody easy way to go

    yes its the same as what dentists use, but breathing too much of it is just like carbon monoxide from exhausts. people kill themselves with nitrous just like they do sitting in their cars in their garage. no2 binds tighter to haemoglobin than oxygen, so when you breathe too much of it in it basically crowds out the oxygen. the oxygen in no2 makes your body think youre breathing normally, although the oxygen isnt in a usable form for your body. youre body doesnt realise it, and you slowly asphixiate yourself. very easy and painless death, and the problem is, you dont know when too much is too much until you pass out. if people start to like nitrous too much, then some will abuse it. people straping bottles of it to themselves (like with a dentist mask) to kill themselves isnt as rare as one would think, and uninformed people could easily do this to themselves.

    and duckandmiss, exhaust is carbon monoxide, just so ya know

    nar you guys are gettin 'fools high', its an amazing placebo affect you can get from small amounts of nitrous. theres a tiny affect but your brain magnifies it. you really need 20 good lungulls, or more if you do it lots, to get a real high.
    i like to open up a tap of it before i go to bed, it helps me sleep having nitrous in the air. try it.

    but yehj i once was going through 25 litres to get high. that was expensive

    PROBLEMS
    Although generaly considered quite safe when used medically and sparingly, it has some negative health consequences when used chronically. Heavy Nitrous use can lead to a depletion of vitamin B12. This can cause numbing of fine nerve endings, especially noticeable in the fingers and toes. Supplements of B12 may reduce the chances of this occurring in heavy users. Shots of B12 are given as a treatment for advanced depletion. If left untreated B12 deficiency can lead to long-term damage.

    Most of the acute dangers associated with Nitrous Oxide are related to accidents during ingestion. In medical applications, Nitrous is dispensed in combination with Oxygen. Inhaling Nitrous alone is not required to get full effects, the effects are the result of the nitrous in the system, not of oxygen deprivation. It is important for users to take breaths of air between hits.

    A handful of people also suffocate each year while using nitrous in the US when the balloon, garbage bag, or mask used to inhale the nitrous stays on the person's face as they fade from consciousness. Some tank-users also suffocate when the valve is left open in a confined space such as a car or small room.

    Your right my bad, I meant to say monoxide.

    But Carbon MONOXIDE and Nitrous do not have the same effect on the body, they do replace oxygen in the lungs in the same way, but carbon monoxide will not when inhaled, cause rapid analgesia (pain relief), euphoria, mild sedation, or sometimes psychedelic dissociation. (at least not in any good way)

    You can say that about any substance. If you don't breath oxygene you will die. Thats no rationel for comparing nitrous to exhaust fumes...

    And StonerBill don't say stuff like that, some kids might come on here and actually beleive it.

    Nitrous imo is like one of the best highs around, but it only last for under a minute or so. Think hippy crack.

    pet peeve: nitrous is not NO2, it is N20. Anyone who tries to get off with NO2 gets what they deserve. Nitric oxide v. Nitrous oxide. NO2 does work like car exhaust, because it's in car exhaust. N20, or nitrous oxide, is what you've been killing brain cells with at shows and will get you off, but you probably should be mixing with more oxygen. It's fun for a while, until you're like me and have a meta-hallucination that you died while hitting a balloon, and then everytime you hit balloons thereafter, you feel like you are dying. Thanks LSD, I really don't think this shit is good for me either...

    man 20 lung fulls would be WAY too much, one whippet gets you high no question about it, 20 is just complete excess..... unless you are talking about using more to extend the duration. But all at once youd be lucky if you didn't pass out. And letting N2O into a room just a waste of gas if it's a big room, in a small room it can be dangerous, so overall, pretty damn stupid
