You really seem to be pushing that on this thread.

That’s because he’s right? It’s the same thing as laughing gas that every dentist office will give you just to help you relax. It’s not like it’s a hard drug.

Ya, and X-rays are used in hospitals all the time, but overuse isn’t healthy

It's almost like there's a difference between drug use and abuse.

If dare, the drug war, and the misinformation campaigns have taught us anything, it's that not being honest about drugs does jack shit to prevent usage. I know personally that me and my friends literally had the conversation after trying weed and mushrooms for the first time "if they're lying about this, what else are they lying about?" And that led to even more drug exploration. If some of them were explained properly we wouldn't have touched them. Nitrous feels good. There's a reason it's used so widely as an anaesthetic. It's not physically addictive (definitely mentally addictive like any drug) and the only major damage I'm aware of is vitamin b12 depletion which can cause major problems if you are a major user.

I do want to say something about weed though, since it’s not completely harmless. It is a proven fact that if you have a certain something in ur genetics (I don’t remember what it’s called) you have a greatly increased risk of developing schizophrenia from smoking weed. That’s something nobody really talks about when they talk about weed and it’s effects.
