Health - Okay so, i want to get high, but all i have is a big thing of gasoline. Safe?

[joeyo124]

Is huffing gasoline safe at all? Is there a right way and a wrong way to do it? Please inform swim on this subject..

Ohh, and swim also has this stuff called "Tussin(gualifenesin Oral Solution, USP)
Can swim get high off that? If so how much should swim drink? =/

	Why don't you just drink a bottle of methanol while you're at it?

Swim hopes the gasoline is a joke. It very well could kill swiy and if not it'll at least do real brain damage.

Swim doesn't do cough syrup but believes swiy doesn't want the one with guaifenesin in it. Do a search on DXM.

[Value Of Existence]

Read the rules about self-incrimination. There's no way to huff gasoline safely. Huffing gasoline is a dangerous, stupid way to get high.

[Spyder]

swiY (The OP) needs to read the rules as swiValue has pointed out.....

At least the thread title was descriptive, but if this is actually serious, swiY really need to rethink some things......

Also, UTFSE for the cough syrup thing....SwiS would recommend doing alot of research prior to taking ANYTHING as it is very clear that swiYour inexperience is going to get swiYou hurt/killed!!!

Don's huff gas. Only take products containing dextromethorphan as the ONLY active ingredient in cough remedies. gualifenesin is bad for you. Glad to see you have come to find out about things before letting your pet iguana experiment with ways of altering brain chemistry. Keep researching before trying anything. Please click on the link in my signature below "noob survival guide" to get a sense of how things work around here.

Your enthusiasm for getting high could well lead you to serious trouble. I highly recommend doing a vast amount of research before using anything.

Be a safe user, not more fuel for propaganda!

[sylenth]

smurf has had problems with 'huffing' gasoline like breathing problems for ever since 'huffing' gasoline & can feel the brain cells have taken a loss within the inner head war & a friend that also died from lighter fluid. pls rather do not try this idea.

smurf regrets it till this day.......................

Is huffing gasoline safe at all?

Safe is an interesting word when it comes to drug use,grandma always does a risk assement of what the potential dangers are before doing a drug,in your case:

Dangers and health problems

Some inhalant users are injured due to the harmful effects of other chemicals used in the industrial solvents or fuels that they are inhaling (e.g., tetraethyl lead used in some fuels [2][3]). As well, as with any recreational drug, users can be injured due to dangerous behavior while they are intoxicated. In some cases, inhalant users can be injured or killed due to the effects of inhaling solvents or gases, which can cause hypoxia (lack of oxygen), pneumonia, cardiac failure or arrest[4], or aspiration of vomit. The inhaling of some solvents can cause hearing loss, limb spasms, and damage to the central nervous system and brain.[5] Serious but potentially reversible effects include liver and kidney damage and blood oxygen depletion. Death from inhalants is generally caused by a very high concentration of fumes. Deliberately inhaling solvents from an attached paper or plastic bag or in a closed area greatly increases the chances of suffocation. Brain damage is typically seen with chronic long term use as opposed to short term exposure.[5]

Of more concern from a toxicological perspective, or from the point of view of an individual considering the recreational use of solvents, is the additional toxicity resulting from either the physical properties of the compound itself, or additional ingredients present in a product. Many solvents of abuse are fairly toxic compounds which often produce liver and brain damage after prolonged use. This is particularly detrimental with chlorinated compounds such as carbon tetrachloride or chloroform, or when products containing mixtures of many substances such as solvent-based glue or paint is inhaled. Toxicity may also result from the pharmacological properties of the drug; excess NMDA antagonism can completely block calcium influx into neurons and provoke cell death through apoptosis, although this is more likely to be a long term result of chronic solvent abuse than a consequence of short term use.
Inhalant use or abuse was mentioned on 144 death certificates in Texas during the period 1988-1998 and was reported in 39 deaths in Virginia between 1987 and 1996 from acute voluntary exposure to abused inhalants.[7]

Use of some inhalants can cause brain, nerve, liver and other damage to the body. In the short term, death from solvent abuse occurs most commonly from aspiration of vomit while unconscious, or from a combination of respiratory depression and hypoxia, the second cause being especially a risk with heavier than air vapors such as butane or gasoline vapor. Deaths typically occur from complications related to excessive sedation and vomiting. Actual overdose from the drug does occur, however, and indeed inhaled solvent abuse is statistically more likely to result in life-threatening respiratory depression than intravenous use of opiates such as heroin. Certain solvents are more hazardous than others, such as gasoline.

Now Grandma would take that info and dcide if her desire to get high outweighed the dangers. I think this should be an easy descion.

Is there a right way and a wrong way to do it?

Heres one wrong way:

Hypoxia can occur when inhalant users are huffing from a plastic bag over their face, which means that they are not breathing enough fresh air. Also, since many solvents are highly flammable (e.g., gasoline, paint thinner), some users have suffered burn injuries and deaths due to fires.

Great post

[sylenth]

there it is. smurf neally died on the couch one night & that was the last time smurf done the retarded acts again: petrol & glue smurf could hardly breathe it was a close one. this was about 12 years ago.

smurf could'nt take a deep breathe or exhale a full breathe. so the small cycle was very scary it's as if the lungs were shutting down. scary indeed.

SWIM's friend did this once, he covered a rag in gas, put it in a bag and BROUGHT IT IN THE CAR. SWIM was yelling at him but he was too fucked up on DXM and he wouldn't listen. SWIMs friend puked numerous times several minutes later. It was retarded.

Dont fucking huff gas. thats some nasty shit

[sylenth]

all this said & done. the hallucinations were in another class of their own on gas another world of new & different things. but pls rather dont do it! too many consequences from it.

[Orchid_Suspiria]

The word safe is completely out the window when one talks about inhalants.I can't believe anyone would even need to ask this.As said on erowid when it comes to inhalants any high one might feel is inseperable from the nerve damage being done.

[chl182]

Now spongebob would like to interrupt to ask whether ether and nitrous are also considered inhalants? And what's the difference?
Also spongebob would highly recommend swij to stay off inhalants because of the high which is the result of your nerve cells dying or being damaged. For swij's info alcoholic beverages are capable of making one high...

[Orchid_Suspiria]

Yes nitrous oxide is an inhalant but it is an inhalant made for and safe for human use.Gasoline and other solvents on the other hand were never made to be ingested by humanbeings.

how bad is it as a one time thing? swim gets the point that it's increadibly bad for you, but 1 time? no chance of recovery? Because after watching fear and lothing in las vegas, swim wants to see what it's like being the village drunk with no motor skills and no control at all at the spine. Then I want to watch myself uncontrollably make a fool of myself.

If you want to lose some motor skills and make a fool of yourself, just get drunk or something.

Gas is just no good, all around, no good.

You must be referring to ether and not gasoline. It's not as bad, I've come to understand, as other inhalants. I don't know exactly the dangers involved, but I know it isn't as bad. Nitrous and ether are the couple of the safer inhalants there are.

[Junket]

I just think inhalants are all around terrible.

inhale a fat blunt of chronic, but gas and shit.. gross

[Orchid_Suspiria]

In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas they were using ether not gasoline!One has to remember that.Ether was made as an anesthetic gas,gasoline was not.

[FrankenChrist]

No solvent type inhalants. Ever. Period.

[beena]

SWIM once inhaled gasoline and it was a really intense dirty buzz that lasted all of 15 seconds max. Plus the individual SWIM did it with (who actually suggested doing it) was a nasty sicko (SWIM later found out - the hard way) and he started joking about with a lighter - threatening to light it right next to SWIMs face.
Even without a sicko like this causing problems, gasoline is dangerous, not worth the so-called 'buzz' and basically an accident (or death) waiting to happen.

Did you bother to reed my post? These dangers can come with only using this substance once. It amazes me that the same people(not you) that would look at you like your crazy for smoking crack or shooting heroin will at the same time think its fine to huff gasoline.

Seriusly if you want to get really high dont huff gasoline go shoot heroin or smoke crack it would be alot safer. <---Not suggesting this just making a point.

[cra$h]

swim is definitly not going to make it a regular thing, but more of a way to say eh, been there, this is what it's like. But the left the message of death death death, over chronic use.

[N0ly]

One of Pinks friends who was not too bright to begin with suggested one night that they go out and buy a gallon and split it. Pink knowing better and remembering his dust off days politely refused. His friend instead of huffing the gas proceeded to pour it into a glass and drink it in a shot, said it was the trippyist shit hes ever done. Pink just thought he was an idiot.
