Drug info - Poppers (Amyl Nitrite)

[enquirewithin]

It doesn't really act like viagra. It does not necessarily help you get an erection IMO. It can give you a very horny feeling. The key is that a little is enough, unless you want a thumping headache.

[Nagognog2]

Amyl Nitrite was/is popular among gay males as it's said to relax the sphincter muscle and induce an orgasm for both parties during anal-intercourse.

I guess one could call it: Anal Nitrite.

[D.U.M.B]

SWIM had done poppers on very few occasions, parties etc.

The buzz is nice after 1 or 2 hits but after that SWIM just doesn't bother. But sometimes when inhaled while on xtc or acid it has given SWIM a nice buzz

My experience / views:
- Poppers are dangerous (short term). If you drink them, spill a large bottle (how do you clean this corrosive stuff up when it evaporates instantly), try pouring it through a funnel that is heated by your hand (stange none comes out? I feel funny?) All is expecially true with the more volitile Isopropyl varient. it is not fun to look in the mirror and see that your lips and fingernail quicks are blue/grey!
- Poppers are dangerous (long term). Although not addictive in the sense that the headache keeps you off long binges, many people get to a point where they can't (or won't) masterbate or have sex without it.
- Poppers are dangerous (Darwin strikes again) Trying to get off inside some stranger's axx durring the frenzied 60 second high may not be the best thing for your long term health.
- Nitrites are generally yellow. however, like most yellow things, it is likely impurities that give it that colour but even commercial grade crap is atleast pale yellow. If your's it not yellow it is more likely because it is mostly the mother alcohol. In other words it has more to do with low quaility than high. With Isopropyl this can be fixed with a wash with some water, weak baking soda or salt solution.
- If you want to make quality stuff wash with a bit of water, then baking soda solution, then water again. this will remove that brown gas (that destroys your lungs) and any acid. Bake some epsom salts in the oven until they stop bubbleing, allow to cool then put in a jar (before they absorbe H2O from air). drop a chip of this stuff in the bottle and pour off an hour later to remove any traces of water. The stuff that has water in it or epsom salts you can use immediatly and the rest stored in the freezer.
- if you dont have a sepertory funnel you can place in the freezer and pour off the goods wonce the watery portion has frozen
- the more it smells like zombie vomit the less it works and bigger headache it will give you to some degree
- Take some vitamine B12 pills, this seems to help with the recovery. Drinks with caffine and/or taurine seem to help too. Since your arteries in your brain have just ballooned out and stretched, some vasoconstricion might feel better. Infact the after headache is allot like a caffine withdraw crainum squeeze.
- The brown gas is infact the anahydride of the acid that reacts with the alcohol reacting with air. Any attempt to vent this will reduce yeild. that said once it leaves your reaction vessel, you don't want it!. Not only is it toxic, it destroys paint, plants, rubber, lungs, turns skin yellow, etc. so keep a lid on but do it in a well ventilated area. Also, your product is allot like ether so keep in mind what would happen if you should spill your product!

Swim loves poppers. I think the headaches really vary from person to person, since Swim never got any, but did get a really great, cheap head rush. Isobutyl nitrite, Swim finds, is the best variety, but Swim has never tried Amyl Nitrite due to there illegality in the UK. Swim can take them all day on there own, the head rush is awesome. Swim loves it when you have a big dose and your heartbeat is really loud and you have this awesome feeling in your head and everything is bright...it's incredible.

BS.

The brown gas is NO2 and is caused by a runaway reaction. If you do it slowly and keep it cold enough it won't generate "that brown gas".

Also if you DON'T blow it off instantly it will corrupt the poppers, giving it the nasty odor people are so afraid of.

A clean reaction of isopropyl nitrite gives a pale yellow, lemon-smelling product.

swim did not know which forum to post this but this one seemed as good as any. swim recently obtained a bottle of amyl nitrite. he does done his own research but cannot come up with much. it is hard for him to believe that he isn't killing brain cells by the truckload everytime he inhales those fumes. does anyone know more about this subject than swim? is swim frying his brain or is there any other side effects he should know about?

[FrankenChrist]

Eh, it's not that special. You'll be fine in a minute.

[geezaman]

out of interest does SWIY mean amyl or butyl nitrites? Butyl nitrates are readily available as aromas etc but amyl nitrites seem alot harder to find? asking because their effects are supposedly slightly different

[FrankenChrist]

Swim was talking about butyl. OP was talking about amyl.

[Psych0naut]

The feelings are produced by the large dilation of the blood vessels, which cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, this doesn't kill braincells.
It can be dangerous for someone with a weak heart, or with other medical problems, but the effects aren't caused by oxygen deprivation and massive brain damage like volatile solvent, and poppers aren't harmful, except for people with medical problems, as already mentioned.

[julian]

thanks guys.

Amyl Nitrite - Yes NITRITE. Not ate - it's ITE. NO2 rather than NO3 if you know your chemistry. It is a clear, volatile, yellow liquid with an unpleasant odor. Highly flammable. It's used medically for angina pectoris, which is a heart condition characterized by severe chest pain. More commonly Nitroglycerin ( yes - nitroglycerin is the same thing as found in dynamite) is prescribed for this condition. Amyl Nitrite is a powerful vasodilator that causes a rapid expansion of blood-vessels. This alleviates the pain of angina, and causes the 'rush' associated with amyl nitrite inhalation.

Used in large amounts, it can cause headaches and screw up blood chemistry. These effects are transient, however, and recede after exposure is stopped. Amyl Nitrite is also used to reverse cyanide poisoning. It does this by replacing the cyanide that has bonded to the hemoglobin in blood, and formed cyanoglobin, and turns the complex into methemoglobin (sp?). Anyway - it allows oxygen transport to be restored by the bloodstream.

A product that was sold under the name RUSH, and others, was sort of popular some time back. It consisted of butyl nitrite, which has similar effect. And it smells even more like old sweat socks. Blech!

In the Last Analysis: It's considered a shit-drug generally used a few times and abandoned for want of something more amusing. Like poking one's self in the eye with a pencil.

These are rotten chems. Usually u have the dilute 1 part of X.nitrite with 1/4 it's original alcohol to extend storing.

If you store it pure in a bottle containing the smallest bit of oxygen, without adding alcohol, it will decompose and smell REALLY BAD.

[geezaman]

SWIM still finds the use of butyl nitrites enjoyable, but admittedly these occasions are when other drugs are also in SWIMs system. Where SWIM is they live up to their expectations a cheap easily available add on to other highs.
Then again SWIM supposes nags pencil is also cheap and easily available, or at last a similar also suitable pencil could be acquired easily for little cost

[Klaus]

nagognog2>yes - nitroglycerin is the same thing as found in dynamite

Yes and better too in swims opinion!

[sci]

SWIM dosnt find Poppers to be that special for just pure day to day rec use, however can make an orgasm seem real long and intense.. be aware though if SWIM dont get his timing right SWIM could end up with Shrinky dick syndrome. NOT gooD!
Poppers and yohimbe could be an almighty combination !!! however SWIM thinks this could be extremely dangerous

[Nagognog2]

Bongo was presbribed iso-Amyl Nitrite by his doctor when he was using cyanide in his labs. He utimately broke the sealed-glass ampules that were in his icebox. It still smelled awful! He also synthesized iso-amyl nitrite for shits & giggles. It smelled the same. Ack!

Don't know what your chimp was up to exactly. But I'll say this: You can put a dress on a pig and take it dancing. But it's still a pig.

[JapanHorrorUncut]

SWIY has tryed poppers a couple times. Head didn't unless it was over done. Was wondering if any brand name that is "better" ie more effective?

[Nagognog2]

Good. I hate Domino's.

[kareena]

SWIM thinks poppers are absolute shite. In SWIMs younger years they always seemed to crop up at parties and festivals (likely due to availability) and for some inane reason SWIM would always cane them with the best of them only to end up thinking 'why the hell did I do that??' when the headache set in. Fortunately SWIM hasn't seen a bottle for a while. Funny stuff to use, ONCE.

Whether poppers or other substances, their mindful use in considered doses to a particular end, like maybe enhancing sexual encounters or another activity, has always struck WHN as essential to have a good time. If used aimlessly, just for the fun of it without a purpose in mind, the outcome may well be as described in above quote. Quite right for a SWIM to ask “why the hell did I do that?”

As for the headaches, WHN doesn't get them on pharmaceutical grade poppers (amyl nitrite, isopenthyl nitrite), which don't seem to contain severe headache-causing agents. WHN considers so-called street poppers aggressive cleaners for chemical tankers. No, thanks.

Fair enough, but SWIM couldn't help but slate them after seeing the thread as it brought back bad memories (and promptly turned him into a kid again a la the rant). tis true they were probably not of the best quality and SWIMs subjective opinion of them is low as they were undoubtedly overused in a short period of time with a disregard for purpose of use. SWIM appreciates the opinions of SWIYs who enjoy their use of that particular family of chemicals.

[Chaote]

Do you buy amyls in a drug store like a pharmacy or were? do u have to go to the counter or are they in the aisle btw I live in Canada if thats any difference

[Bodhisattva500]

order them online, search for rush poppers.
