The "Gas" in most of these inhalants including the liquid air we use to clean out our computers is heavier that Oxygen. Once it is in the lungs in large capacity, a person passes out and can't exhale the inhalant. No new oxygen can enter the lungs and it eliminates all new oxygen from getting to the blood & brain.

It is like holding your breath until you pass out and then waking up because you r body starts breathing again when you pass out. But instead of automatically breathing again, you can't because you can't exhale the inhalant.

With every inhale of the inhalant, you are lessoning the amount of oxigen oxygen capacity you have remaining in your lungs. Slowly suffocating your self.

In high school, my Brothers used to inhale Pam Cooking Spray, and when they couldn't get that, they used gasoline. Whey they couldn't get that, they used to tie a towel once around their necks until they got light headed and passed out - JUST FOR FUN!!(Idiots).

nice, this is my local newsteam.

hmm... and i was just staring at the old "can" of whip cream, wishing for a better way.

what a delicious expose! to the store!

This guy makes a big deal out of the clerks not checking for IDs. As if they would check IDs for someone buying nitrous, which isn't illegal. I say, anything that brings the human mind back to the primate stage is just fine with me.

The interesting thing about Nitrous is that the chemical itself is fairly safe, unlike most inhalants. It is widely used by dentists for various procedures.

However, the danger in recreational use is that many (uninformed) people inhale it in its pure form, without oxygen. The idiots you see repeatedly inhaling and exhaling NO2 into a balloon are depriving themselves of oxygen, even though it doesn't really change the experience (works just as well with oxygen).

As long as the person using it is educated about NO2 then they can use this stuff very safely... but that is a big "if" I suppose, especially with children who really don't care about safety.

A specialized balloon? Seriously? It's a fucking punching balloon, you moron.

Finally, a practical solution to the high price of meth! It'll be Christmas in Tacoma tonight!

I <3 whip-its

He's actually correct. The balloon may not be manufactured specifically for nitrous, but its properties make it much easier to use with nitrous than standard party balloons (higher volume, thicker walls, etc.).

... and besides that, a punching balloon would still be a "specialized" balloon even if it weren't used for this. =)

I don't think whip-its, and crackers are a new thing. Its been around and widely sold for at least fifteen years. It was huge at Grateful Dead shows, and we use to refer to it as hippie crack.

wow... so much misinformation. good to see the war on drugs is as ridiculous as ever.
