Nitrous Oxide

DaddyMassive · Post by **DaddyMassive** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 1:56 pm

What's the legal position on NO in California & Nevada?
Can it be obtained easily and not a problem if it's found on your person?

In the UK it's tenuous. It's used in all sorts and can be bought but they're obliged to refuse sale if they think you're going to use it for recreational purposes.

It's probably similar here. You can apparently get breathable quality at some high performance racing shops. It's completely legal in that case. I'm not sure if things change if you start breathing it in. Just be discrete, as with anything else.

what is the attraction for huffing nitrous oxide? I've tried it and in every instance, failed to note any effect whatsoever. Are some people immune to it's effects. And what are those supposed effects anyway?

DaddyMassive · Post by **DaddyMassive** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 4:13 pm

I've certainly had duff trips and I've met a few people that don't get any effect.
But I've also pushed enough on people who've done it wrong then got it right.
I don't think people could be immune.

In the UK we tend to use balloons filled with wripping cream canisters.
You empty your lungs with a serious of deep exhales.
Suck down the balloon & hold your breath for a few seconds...
Then reinflate with the contents of your lungs, suck it up immediately then hold your breath, **close your eyes** and make sure you're sat down comfortably.
Then let go of your breath as late as you can.

Your hearing will go funny. Kinda like sound crunching up and coming off and on. I oftern then get this odd visual (eyes closed) where I'm seeing two converging line getting closer by never meeting accomanied by a high pitched sound.
Sound starts to come back, I feel very blissed out, comfortable & everything has a rosey glow.
You can keep your eyes open while doing it and things look very nice, but the eyes closed way seems stronger.
It's quite an inward high too.. was a little scary the first couple of times as there was a sense of isolation, but once you're used to it you crave it. :P
Best thing is the whole thing lasts about 30 seconds and you can get up and function 'legally' straight away.

back when i was extremely self-destructive, as opposed to kinda self-destructive, i would take a huge hit of medical nitrous and then enter a freeway ramp.....

by the time you are about to merge, you are also inches away from passing out.

the purple comes in from the sides, and you have to fight it to retain consciousness.

meanwhile, you're laughing hysterically.

not for the faint of heart, or for anyone of any intelligence whatsoever.

like i said, i had issues when i was younger...i still do, just not the same ones.

I think we have a different delivery system here :D
Plus I'm normaly in someones front room when I go for it.

For Christ Sake don't ever throw the fucking canister in a burn barrel or similar such place, last year a guy named Sebastian's wife was seriously injured by an exploding cannister in a burn barrel. This is true I know Sebastian. He's still paying medical bills.

You can buy all you want in medical grade for racing, but I think they add something to make it unpleasant when inhaled.

Nitrous oxide without oxygen is known as suffocation.
Incremental brain damage is possible.

Did he ever get work? What about her? Is there any updates you can give us?

DaddyMassive · Post by **DaddyMassive** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 3:22 am

I read the story several months ago... very very unfortunate.
I can assure you all I respect peoples physical wellbeing enough that I don't ever get involved in that kind of arsehat behaviour.

I'd be looking to use catering canister, keep them at the bottom of an ice box & I would be taking the unused & spent cartridges off-site with me.

Regarding brain damage, isn't that what one of the core tenants of BM?
Dehydrate in the desert heat, see a bit of art while perv at naked chicks and jar your chemical-addled brain to IQ 70 with head bangin' techno??

OK, sorry, I'm being trollish now.

Nitrous is always supposed to be mixed with oxygen.
You can duplicate the bliss of suffocation with much less gear.

With pure nitrous, the risk is death, not brain damage.
Check out the dental office.
Always an oxygen tank in the rig.

I would suggest sticking with medical grade too.

There's plenty of risk without going out of your way for it.
If you want a thrill, walk around at night on the playa without any lights on.

It's called Darwinism; You're a moron who huffs nitrous, you suffocate and die, world gene pool improves.

De-evolution.
That's where Devo got the name.

I wish I could find that early store video they had.
I've never seen it since.
I think it had the principles of de-evolution on it.

Jesus..I never realised there was such a stigma with Nos.

I'll play it safe and stick to smack.

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 8:04 am

Not stigma, just common sense about it.
You have to be aware that there is no oxygen in that container.
People have been aggressive enough with this stuff to die.
People have died in hospitals when the oxygen was cutoff to the nitrous mix.
I've had it in the dentist and it's more fun with oxygen anyhow.

Whipped cream.
Now I want pumpkin pie.

It's common sense really. The best bet is to just keep the balloons out of the equation altogether. If you're inhaling and exhaling the same air over and over again, and there was no oxygen in that balloon to begin with, you run a risk of seriously fucking yourself up.

Most of my friends and I partake in the occasion round of n2o and we always just do them straight out of the cracker (a whipped cream dispenser, just so no idiot thinks they can crack something that cold straight into their lungs). Just make sure you breathe between hits and you'll be fine. To be fair to drug-users, I have a friend who does boxes of n2o at a time, along with a plethora of other mind-altering substances, and he just got back from the National Engineering Competition where he took first prize. I think you just need to know how many braincells you can spare, and tailor your drug use accordingly.

Only reported death in the UK in the recreational sense was when some sub IQ100 clown (on his own) was connected up to a big bottle via a mask.
He suffocated cos he was strapped into a machine denying him oxygen.

Other people have had injuries falling over but it's an anasthetic so they get what they deserve for lack of common sense.

The method I describes denys oxygen for no more than 20-30 seconds & you've oxygenated your blood breathing in and out beforehand. Then when you stop holding your Nos breath you're free to breath again.
By no means am I asphixiating myself on just Nos..

I've personally done it over 100 times and between me and my friends and their friends we've done this method countless times with zero side effects.
We do no more than two hits an hour over-use gives a weaker effect therefore it's worth waiting.

Maybe my description is flawed or you guys are imagining me walking around with an aqua-lung of the stuff.
Whatever the case thanks for the input.

okay, again I ask...does this shit make you high? Does it make you laugh? Ive been at parties were folks were doing cartloads of this and no one was laughing. Not that Im gonna run out and do it again, but just curious why folks bother with it.

JezebelinHell · Post by **JezebelinHell** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 11:00 am

It makes me laugh, but I can't attest for everyone else. When I'm not laughing on the stuff I'm usually grinning from ear to ear and quite blissfully happy. It's the highest I've ever been (and I had some pretty wild college years) but it only lasts for fifteen seconds, which is probably a good thing. I've never heard of anyone being immune to it, but anything's possible.

You have to inhale for it to work....

There are actually 2 grades of nos.

There is the medical/food grade which is found from medical offices to ice cream trucks to whipped cream canisters. This kind is considered okay for human consumption. This is the non oil base.

Then you have the racing kind used strictly for engines and race cars which is an oil base. This is the one you don't want to huff !!

feels like you got punched and the world is pulsating and giving you hugs and you cannot control your need to smile.

thing is, there is no punch or pain. just the part after the punch.

i can't do more than a few a year

The most it ever did for me was make me feel like Beavis. I guess I don't get it either but I have adult friends with adult kids who have done it together, so, whatever. The last group I saw doing it--musicians--inhaled from a balloon, held it, exhaled into a plastic bag and then rebreathed that once or twice. No biggie. They were fine a moment or so afterward.

The most intense bank for your buck is Salvia Divinorum which is legal in Oregon, but, most of the hardcore trippers I gave mine away to won't touch it after once or twice 'cause it makes other psychedelics seem like a mellow beer buzz. It's a shaman drug rather than a party substance and most people seem to describe out-of-body experiences or spirits pulling at them for about ten minutes. Take a trip, never leave the farm and all that. Basically, it kicks your ass. You can't even really move.

The supplier here uses medical grade with an additive.
I don't remember what they add to it since I decided not to use nitrous on my car.
There is probably no requirement to use that grade though.
How is it made from an oil base?

In the dentists, with a sustained period of time with oxygen, I get audio hallucinations and minor visual.
Seemed much more entertaining than a big single dose.
I could feel when the oxygen was too high or too low too.
