Wholesome: someone was huffing 3.3L of nitrous oxide in the park (hexbear.net)

There were two tanks, the other slightly smaller and sour apple flavoured. They left both brightly coloured canisters near a playground. I didn't know they made canisters this large outside of the dental ones.

yeah they just sell tanks now to whoever. young me would have loved this shit. always was the best enhancement to MDMA, cannabis, or shrooms. no annoying cracker or tiny wasteful one hit canisters

but this shit is really bad for you if you just go to town on a tank like that alone. permanent CNS damage bad (plus risk of O2 deprivation). i do get people wanting to disassociate right out of this shitworld

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, the little canisters are annoying and wasteful, but they do at least help limit consumption, and whippets are very safe in moderation. It’s so bad that people are able to buy a whole tank like this. You’re not supposed to hit nitrous like it’s a vape pen.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

yeah. we'd do one group session maybe once every 6 mos to a year excluding the times i was at a rave. usually just have cannabis and each take a few hits and just enjoy the crazy time dilation

You’re not supposed to hit nitrous like it’s a vape pen.

this is brutally bleak. fuck.

Don't t mind me just huffing my lunch

[–] Dyno@hexbear.net 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

i'm fucking crying at this
i used to always see those little steel 10ml whippets on the ground in the car park where i used to work, guess we've come a long way since then

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You still see those in Australia and can step on them and roll your ankle painfully. Its great!

We call them nangs though, not whippets

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it's even worse that i'm now seeing galaxy gas cans here where a pile of nangs were previously littered tbh

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Damn. Another invasive species destroying our unique ecosystem

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Weirdly enough I've never found whippets in the park. Lots of legal cannabis, a few heroin needles every now and then, huge amounts of alcohol and nicotine vapes, but never nitrous oxide even though it's sold at every smoke shop around here.

[–] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...huge amounts of alcohol and nicotine vapes...

My mind read that as there being vapes for both alcohol and nicotine.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

A flask is an alcohol vape. Or maybe those little bottles that only exist to throw it out the window while driving home from the liquor store.

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago

TrueAnon had an episode about these things.

It’s hilarious that they sell these huge flavored tanks now, back in my day we probably inhaled a fucked up amount of small metals into our lungs with the small ones. I wonder why it’s getting so obvious with these nowadays.

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

The government just wants people to die or be prison slaves. They don't fucking care.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's a whole thing now. They sell it as like culinary type shit, but it's just folks huffing or whatever.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

Aimed at kids too.

[–] Zoift@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hooking up an non-rebreather to this like a Bane mask. Finally ready to deal with the batman, or anybody with the bat symbol, at this park

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

We have some mean geese. It all looks the same after the first kilo of nitrous.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That is absolutely wack. That being said, nitrous is one of the safer drugs there is as long as you arent doing anything that needs good motor functions.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I like it at the dentist, but it's the fact that I like it at the dentist that I'll never try it. That bastard also prescribed hydrocodone once and I liked that enough to know I can't do anything that addictive.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I've never gotten it from a dentist and thank God. I'd way rather get local anesthesia. Hydrocodone is an opiate and a pretty fucking good one. That's for sure gonna be addictive. Nitrous oxide isn't addictive physically and it at leadt used to be a really weird drug to be hooked on, still feels that eay ti me since the examples i csn think of are Dennis Hoppers's character in Blue Velvet and Kanye. Its a reallt weird drug to get hooked on that ive never ever heard of people getting addicted to irl. And it's harmless health wise, people depriving themselves of oxygen by sucking it down for too long or not having good motor control and falling down stairs or something are risk factors cause it does mess up motor control, but so does booze but aside from that risk it's super safe. You're basically comparing heroine and weed here except most people smoke weed which makes it less healthy than nitrous oxide generally. It does seem to have gained a level of popularity where it's being used in doses I never did. We'd get a cracker and a few packs of whipped, fill a few balloons and pass em around but the high is closer to shit you'd maybe do in Jr high like huffing gas or dust off but cleaner and with a neat lingering high. It's okay, but it's not anything for a rich person to get addicted to. Do heroine instead if you have millions

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And it's harmless health wise

It blocks the absorption of B12, and can lead to nerve damage from that when used long term. It's relatively harmless when used occasionally, but definitely not something anyone should be doing every day.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net -1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My first few sentences are about how basically no one does it every day

[–] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

There was a emergency-room vid about a young person who was hitting a nitrous canister basically non-stop.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I've known people who do, and who have ended up with issues. Just flagging it in case people out there don't know.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Safer in some ways, but it is very addictive, and can do serious damage to your nervous system if abused.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

can i have the Nitrus today

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I saw him it was Steve Martin he was huffing goof gas.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I’ve seen flavoured ones this size fairly regularly. People around where I work seem to like watermelon and lemon flavoured ones most.

Also been at parties where they roll in the 20kg ones. Don’t think they come in fancy flavours though.
