    i was blown away when i discovered they sell huge canisters of this stuff now

    used to be either you get a 24 pack of the tiny canisters from smoke shop or some guy you know got a hold of a medical grade tank

    take vitamin b supplements and use no more then once (one session) a month! have a trip sitter, use a balloon, make sure you take a breath of air between each hit!!

      Notably it appears to interfere with b12 by changing the oxidation state or something. It depletes reserves.

      So you can’t just supplement and be good, as Des mentions you need breaks.

      I would suggest a less frequent use pattern though, it’s probably better to binge a week or something and then give a good long break of several months. I think an abundance of caution is warranted around nervous system nutrients. Believe you me you absolutely do not want neuralgia, it’s the worst pain I’ve ever experienced (mine is from arthritis alas).

        Prolonged abuse of nitrous leads to B vitamin deficiency, which leads to severe nerve damage. It takes a lot of nitrous, but it can be veeerrrry addictive. Someone left alone with a whole tank to themselves for a week can really fuck themselves up.

        nitrous oxide depletes it in the body. B-6 and B-12. prolonged useage can cause nerve damage because of that depletion. otherwise it’s a safe gas as long as you make sure to include oxygen
