Health - Could This Kill?

[amd6568]

Ok, I have done a few whip its, but that's mainly it. I was wondering, if you use like a spray paint can and spray it/fill up a balloon and breathe that in, would that have the effects or would that be extremely bad? Because won't you have to wait for the entire cans (for anything that contains the nitrous) to use it, or some cans have a few before the component comes out. The spray paint is clear (for windows and stuff, to make a glaze or something), so it isn't like green or red spraypaint, etc.Edited by: amd6568

no self incriminating! Use SWIM

[PenguinPhreak]

Huffing does not feel like N20, and is extremely dangerous. It causes
lots of brain damage, and can be fatal. I strongly suggest that you not
try it.

[Phungushead]

I once saw a picture of a guy that died from spraying paint into a
plastic bag and huffing the fumes... it wasn't pretty. I'm very
against inhalants... something about purposely breathing in the same
shit that kills the ozone (hydrocarbons and the like) just to get high
for a few minutes just doesn't sound that appealing to me. It's
terrible for your nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems.

[genaro]

inhalants are baddddd !


stick to n2o (bad too, but much less toxic, it's the safest inhalant around) ...maybe ether a few times (ether is pretty bad too, but as it has been used as an anaesthesic it's still much less dangerous than any other inhalants, but it can be very addictive)Edited by: genaro

[Curtains]

reallllyy don't understand y anyone would huff so retarded, i don't care how deterimined u are to get high

[transit]

Often research on drugs is manipulated to
get the results desired by funding agencies – in other words, to say that the
drugs are bad. </span>In the case of inhaling
solvents there seems to be no need to manipulate the results – inhaling solvents
is bad. </span>Along with the psychoactive effects
comes nerve and organ damage. </span>Don’t do
it. </span>There is lots else to choose from.</span>

[PenguinPhreak]

To pass on a warning from Erowid:



"Our understanding of the literature is that there is no such thing as
safe use of most volatile solvents, aerosols or other street inhalants
: their psychoactive effects may be inseparable from nerve and organ
damage."

[sg43]

Thats very very bad for you and is nothing like nitrous, "computer duster" actually contains nitrous (along with chemicals) and even that is bad enough for you, SWIM knows some desperate kids that were hooked on that shit, but SWIM puts up the extra $ and bought a cracker and cartridges.

[hippie_lain]

Ummmm...computer duster acually contains more freon than anything. I did it for a while and it totally wreaked havoic on my brain. I had a friend that huffed silver and gold spray paint and said its even worse for you. Duster and paint baddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!

[phenethylamine]

Huffing is extremely dangerous. A story I am reminded of is when this kid was huffing gas or paint or some shit in his room, and he had been inhaling for like 30 - 45 minutes straight and his mom came down into his room and he didn't notice. she was standing behind him and was kind of freaked out and in shock and then he realized she was there, and it scared him so bad he died due to blood pressure and having an anyurism or stroke or something.(not sure on that) She literally scared him to death. Even though chances are huffing wont kill you, it definately can kill you, like a lot more often than other drugs that 'can' kill you. There is really no reason to huff as it causes more damage to your brain than you can afford to trade for the shitty buzz you get. Be good to your head!

where's your reference for that story?

[CarlDexmann]

I would stongly
advise against huffing. If I "did" drug, one drug I would do
often would be DXM(DEX). I have heard about some really crazy
trips from that, plus it is not nearly as dangerous as inhalants, just
as long as you do your research and are smart about it.
Cordiceden(MissSPell</span>ed) is not good, as any thing with anything
other than DXM is not good. Hypothetically, I would suggest
Robitussin Cough Gells, Zican, or Robitussin Max strenghth cough
syrup(yuck!). Hypothetically, the best thing would to be able to
purchase the straight, pure Dex shit in pure powder form packed into a
nice big 1200mg capsule after ingesting 3 Dramamines 30min. prior to
dropping the Dex.

[BlueMystic]

You shouldn't just try huffing anything expecting nitrous to be in there. There are specific items that contain nitrous and nitrous only. When inhaling nitrous. One needs to make sure that it is either medical or food grade nitrous. Anything else is a dangerous mixture. Such as the nitrous that you would find in nitrous tanks meant for vehicles.


Stay away from inhaling anything other then pure nitrous if you give a damn about your health and well being.

[raven3davis]

It will definitely get you high, but that high is just your brain royally fucking itself up! It's definitely worth the few extra bucks for your health and safety. Also, SWIM would imagine a true N2O high is superior to any inhalant. In middle school, a kid at SWIM2s school died from doing something along these lines. Huffing is truly one of the most dangerous highs around. The effects you feel are sometimes the same as the effects you feel from brain damage like someone has mentioned. You wont be able to tell thee difference. Quite scary! These highs are not outlawed because by no means are inhalants meant to get you high. They arent controlled substances because they are INHALANTS! They are not meant to get you high. Use spraypaint to paint something and nothing else. Use duster to clean, use glue to seal.

The only thing swim recommened inhaling to get high would be N2O. By far the most safe and most FUN!

[upthebracket]

wow, i'm surprised there isn't a single pro-huff opinion on the thread, i bought a can of naptha about a month ago and gave it a shot, but it didn't hit me and it's been sitting in the drawer at the end of my bed ever since, i'm not that inclined to try it, i just thought it'd be something to do, i'd have thought there was SOMEONE who thought huffing was cool, or at least ok, even if they were wrong, show yourselves!

[Abrad]

Probably because those who frequent this forum know enough about drugs to know that huffing is not, in fact, "cool".

[Psych0naut]

If you can't get your hands on the real stuff, use dxm or nitrous, not paint thinner or glue.It kills SO much brain cells that you could probaply see it on a cat scan if you would scan yourself while sniffing ..

[upthebracket]

Probably because those who frequent this forum know enough about drugs to know that huffing is not, in fact, "cool".

well that's what i'd assumed, but all forums have stupid people, right? maybe this one is the exception

[bewilderment]

I'll admit that my lab rat did some huffing (not much, it's not the most exciting thing) when she was just a wee thing and it feels kind of neat for a couple seconds then you have to huff more, killing your brain cells each time. You might miss those later because I'm pretty sure that current research suggests that other than in the olfactory part of the brain, the neurons don't grow back and if they do then it's a very, very slow process (don't take this as absolute fact because this is just from memory). The price for the brief high isn't anywhere worth it. I don't know if this would work or not but maybe you could just buy a bunch of whip cream cans and figure a way to get the nitrous inside the balloons without spraying all the cream out. That would be more expensive, but less dangerous I would think. If it isn't less dangerous then someone should definately correct me. Also, you can get nitrous supplies right off the net and also poppers. And like others have mentioned, a dex high would be much more fulfilling if you can handle that sort of thing. But if you do that then you absolutely MUST do all the research you possibly can because you can die or bleed out of your eyeballs or something if you get the wrong product. I would read through the DXM FAQ (read all of it, it can get technical but take what you can out of it)which can be found on erowid among other various places if you're going that route. If you're still going to huff then seriously be careful and just do it a couple times or something. My little mouse got bored after a couple times anyway because really it just kind of sucks as a high. If it was a better high I'm sure there would be more people encouraging it despite the fact that it causes brain damage, but it's just not that much fun other than making you feel kind of stupid and making things sound strange. There are lots of legal highs out there that aren't nearly as dangerous, but if you don't have a credit card (I don't know if you do or not) then they're much more difficult to attain, but still possible.

Actually I know a girl who almost died from huffing a huge N20 balloon.

Although, we were camping..... and she was standing up while she was doing it.. right beside the camp fire.....

Luckily someone was close enough to her to pull her away from the fire as she was semi-unconscious from the N20, else she woulda been roasting with the marshallows. I think she deserved that one.

Moral of the story: If you're going to huff a balloon of N20 (or anything for that matter) without telling anybody, don't do it standing up, and definitely don't do it right beside a camp fire.

Use swim and dont talk in the first person.

[infantcidelust]

SWIM has history of huffing at the age of 10-12. It's quite ridiculous when to know SWIM's 18 and now realizes the history of short-term memory loss. The side affects of lack of educational requirements, managing to never fully comprehend the language of mathematics and the writings of philosophy. Therefore, Swim is a shit loser... well, that's why Job corps exists!

[Alicia]

isobutyl nitrite, butyl nitrite, and amyl nitrite (poppers) are safer then huffing which can kill outright.

[fatal]

think ill kick the dead horse a bit more... dont do inhalants it can, and given ample opportunity will, kill you. also think about things like having paint in your lungs for example. not cool. melting your brains with solvents? not cool. you huffers make us smokers look like fuckin vegans.

As stated above, when inhaling anything it pays to sit down. When filling your lungs with anything other than oxygen you are depriving yourself of oxygen and may passout, fall over etc.

Of the many types of inhalants most are deadly.

Swim has done some research into less dangerious inhalants and has come up with the following:

Nitrous Oxide - Dissociative anesthetic / laughing gas.
Isobutyl nitrite, butyl nitrite, and amyl nitrite (poppers) - headrush, best on other drugs.
Helium - Heightens pitch of voice.
Sulphur hexafluoride - Lowers pitch of voice.
Ether (quickstart) - Anesthetic.
Cloroform - Anesthetic
97% Pure Oxygen - (Can be flavoured with essiential oils) Clears mind, mildly increases energy, mild feeling of well being.
Medusas Mixture (mix of oxygen + co2) - Used in psychedelic therapy in 1960,s - can be unpleasant / cause anxiety.
Xenon - Expensive, possibly similar to Nos but Swim is still researching this.
*Others Swim is researching are Freon, enflurane, halothane. He is not sure of the effects of these.

The Medusas mixture sounds interesting (although unpleasant), perhaps there are other mixtures of various gases that have a more plesant effect???

[jardo]

Okay, to whom ever gave me a bad repuation point for not using SWIM and talking in the first person:

Give me a good reason why I needed to use "SWIM" in any of my posts in this thread, because I don't see how saying "I was camping with a girl that did such and such..." is self-incriminating, and if it is, I'm dying to know your logic.

Being a witness to drug use isn't a crime, let alone a person consuming an unscheduled substance under my federal laws, assuming that my story actually happened anyway.

[Nicaine]

Most inhalants that are 'huffed' (not including nitrous, poppers and some others) actually dissolve/melt the brain. The human brain is composed mainly of fatty tissues, and these petrochemical substances are powerful fat solvents. What a way to get high, eh? Might as well stick your fingers into an electrical outlet to get a buzz, it's about on the same level of intelligence.
