Inhaling - Pertussin vaporizer spray

[wt4q]

Swim remember Pertussin cold spray from the 70's. It came in a menthol flavored aerosol about the size of a shaving can. The trick was to use a tube stuffed with TP and spray in the bottom while inhaling. The effect was an immediate rush. Everything would go black except flashes of color in your head and the body rush was so incredible you couldnt move. It lasted about a minute but seemed forever.
SWIM always wondered if the cause of the rush was from the propellant or the med.
Any oldtimers remember this stuff? It was sold nationwide in the 70's.

SWIY got high of the propellant no doubt. The Pertussin vaporizer spray available at the time didn't contain dextromethorphane like the present cough remedies branded with that name do. The risks and dangers involved with sniffing aerosols and other inhalants are severe and plentiful so this was not an experiment that should be repeated by any one.
