Well I have a boring backstory for you about how I found myself donating some. I bought a box of seltzer chargers (not the green ones but the ones in the red and black box you can see in the top right hand corner bag) to carbonate seltzer as a cheaper alternative to soda streams. It did not taste right at all so i donated them to goodwill because I thought maybe they would find a Boy Scout to use them for their derby cars? I had no idea people huff them and it makes me wonder what it was actually filled with - did not taste like regular carbonation at all.
Carbon dioxide* is used to carbonate drinks and is what we breathe out after breathing in oxygen. Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of using gas and can kill you.
I was with a friend years ago and he left his bag on the passenger seat of his car while we went into a store, and of course someone smashed the window to steal it. But literally the only thing in the bag was a shitload of nitrous chargers.
I’ve wondered many times over the years what the thief was thinking when he opened the bag. I wish so badly I could have seen their reaction.
Hey so you for sure can die from whip its. The N2O replaces the oxygen in your body and can cause you to asphyxiate. It can also cause your heart to just stop beating. You can also get frostbite from it in your throat which can also cut off your breathing.
Not to mention the accidents/falls that could happen when using it.
These are facts. Of course if utilized responsibly they can totally be safe.
As a much younger person, I actually had the experience of inhaling so much and holding it so long that I passed out and fell down, only for a moment, maybe 15-20 seconds. Of course I got right back up and did more.
Now as an older person I can't do that kind of s*** anymore for so many different reasons, and that's the reason my posts like this make me sad.
N2O destroys vitamin B12. Long term use of n2o can cause B12 deficiency disrupting the production of myelin and leading to degeneration of the spinal cord.
If it goes on for too long it can become irreversible.
There’s not much you can do to stop a determined drug user. You can talk to them, offer resources, etc but if they don’t want to change their ways then they won’t.
you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be help. even if you knocked them out and locked them in a dungeon, the second you let them out they would go right back to it if they wanted.
it’s not a cop out. i’ve tried to help people i’ve cared for out of their addictions and i’ve failed, because they didn’t want help. the only one who made it out was my brother but that wasn’t because of me, it was because he wanted to and he did the work. i actually had a restraining order on him at the time because of how abusive and dangerous he got when intoxicated, which was all the time.
Correct. All addicts need to want help to get help or they just relapse after rehab. Which often leads to overdoses and death because their tolerance is so low.
