Inhaling nitrous
Discussion
Hey,
Went to a festival a few months ago and some shady looking people were selling balloons full or nitrous (n2o) I had heard about this but never tried it so handed over my fiver and he proceeded to fill 3 balloons.
I had one and gave 2 mates one each, we done the balloon and although it didn't have much effect on me, both my mates were rolling around laughing their titties off and after it wore off ( about 30 sec) they said how great it was!
Now I've tried to find info online and it seems it legal to possess and sell in the uk (providing they are not minors) and it can be brought on eBay for tuppence
I'm not saying I would agree with it but why don't we see nitrogen bars and people walking around nightclubs selling it etc?
Or have I misunderstood and it's actually illegal?

I've been around friends when they were doing this.. I've never tried it but looked quite funny, they just seemed to laugh at everything, and only lasted a very short time.
They used those whipped cream squirters that use the NOS capsules as a propellant, and it emptied into the canister and then a balloon over the end of the 'squirter bit'.
Doesn't seem cheap but doesn't seem too harmful if done in moderation..

Nos is great fun.
The trick is to breath in an out into the balloon a few times or hold the nos in your lungs for as long as possible.
Hearing goes all wobbly and then you can't help but laugh your arse off.
Last time I did it though it hit me mid way through that I was holding a balloon full of nos next to a bonfire that was spitting embers.
Trying to walk away from a fire when everythings going to s
t around you is pretty funny to watch, apparently.

You really aren't very bright are you?The trick is to breath in an out into the balloon a few times or hold the nos in your lungs for as long as possible.

t around you is pretty funny to watch, apparently. Firstly, Nitrous Oxide is an asphyxiant, so breathing in and out of a balloon is a good recipe for unconsciousness.
Secondly, Nitrous Oxide is an oxidiser not flammable, the worst the balloon would have done next to a bonfire was to cause the fire to burn more efficiently/mildly more vigorously for a couple of seconds! Shocker!
Don't take the "not bright" comment too personally, I just thought your post contained the worst advice on this thread yet!

To prove my point, here's a youtube video.

Remember that I'm holding the damn thing next to my face..
As for the breathing it in and out for a while, I don't mean for minutes. Just until your hearing starts echoing.
Same effect as holding it in, but easier.
It's typically sold as 'not for human consumption'; I've bought it under the guise as a thing for whipping cream.
Seems pretty popular at festivals but is a complete rip off unless you buy it yourself. £30 for a dispenser which'll last forever, + about 30p per capsule and a few quid for a load of balloons OR £1.50+ a go from some pikey wandering around muttering 'wantanygas?' to anyone he sees.
It doesn't last long enough and is too much hassle. I much prefer getting bladdered.
