They sell these on amazon. Look I don't want to be a prude but this shit is getting kids hooked on whippits from a very early age. For sure not an indicator of a healthy society.
Brace fucking Beldon was defending whip-its the other day on their pod, I’m assuming he’s just shit-posting like usual but I was screaming at him in my car, lmao
What?? I recently listened to their whole episode on nitrous and he wasn't just being critical of them, he was going off about how even as a former hard drug user he can't understand the appeal. I suspect you caught him doing the multiple levels of irony thing, like how he says he's become a catholic when they talk about Opus Dei, or a liberal when they went to the DNC.
That’s normally just what I assume because that dude is so inscrutable to me when he’s doing that, lol
I had to check which episode, basically just the beginning of episode 458. It was the rules lawyering about whether whippets count as a drug with the worst Mount Everest/oxygen tank example. Like the reason that makes your voice low is because it’s more dense than air, whether it counts as a drug or not I don’t care, but it causes brain damage and my nephew’s mom died from them, so the misinformation and flippancy about them drives me nuts.
One of the primary dangers of this stuff is that because it's labeled as a food additive, it doesn't have oxygen mixed in it like the medically approved mixture you'd receive at a dentist. So while people are hitting this, they're depriving their brains of oxygen, which is where a lot of the long-term damage comes from. If they were able to sell it with oxygen mixed in, it wouldn't be as bad. Once again criminalization makes drugs far more dangerous than they need to be.
What part is criminalized? The oxygen?
It is illegal to inhale NO2, or market it for inhalation, outside of medical applications where it is administered directly by a doctor, dentist, or anesthesiologist. These medical grade canisters contain a mixture of NO2 and O2 and are safe to breath for a while, but they are regulated and can usually only be obtained when one "falls off the truck." The vendors will not sell these to you unless you are associated with a medical practice. NO2 sold for automotive purposes is 'denatured,' deliberately contaminated to make it toxic. Most other gasses which are typically abused (canned air dusters, for instance) are produced with a bittering agent, to prevent abuse. This is not possible with food-grade NO2, which is used as a replacement for oxygen in whipped cream because oxygen would cause the cream to spoil rapidly. It only works for its intended purpose if it has no oxygen in it, so if you breath it continuously you can suffer hypoxia, loss of consciousness, and other problems.
NO2 is relatively benign though, compared to other much more harmful gases which are typically abused, aside from the hypoxia and other mentioned symptoms.
Thanks I'll I see.
According to summaries on the first page of search results, NO2 also makes bulkier whipped cream than O2 can. So my idea of starting a trend of eating whipped cream right away before it spoils won't work.
It seems to me in the present situation, it isn't exactly criminalization, but half assed regulation that's the problem.
Either regulate and enforce regulations on NO2, or do not.
Though I guess I am not considering the whole universe of harm that has been prevented by regulating in the current manner so far. Like maybe there'd be more self taught cheapo dentists working out of kitchens.
Nitrous while off yer tits on MDMA is one of the best feelings in life
Everything is one of the best feelings in life while off your tits on MDMA, though
While you’re not wrong, nitrous enhances MDMA like nothing else! I don’t like it when I’m sober, but on MDMA it’s incredible.
It also cures hiccups. The only time I’ll do nitrous when I’m not rolling is when I can’t use breath exercises to cure hiccups.
