prove it?? dont think it quite does that and nos only effects a user for about 30sec to a couple of minutes
with pleasure....
Hospital grade NOS is not Nitrous Oxide by itself, it is a blend of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen (approx 50:50 i think). This has the effect of allowing the Nitrous to do its "Knock-out" thing while still delivering Oxygen to the brain. Therefore it is better for you....this is why in a hospital situation you can have as much as you want....it is in fact very safe in this form. You can if you feel so inclined try this over and over again with limited side effects.
Corner dairy grade NOS is completely different. I see what your saying about the 30 sec's to 1 minute thing can't be that bad, but may I point out that if a user sniffs petrol or inhales the contents of an aerosol can, the effect also only lasts a couple of seconds.....but we all know what the consequences are. Cocaine is another interesting one as its effects only last for about 30 minutes.....still not good for you tho.
So anyway when you gulp down your balloon of NOS from the dairy, you are starving the brain of oxygen.....this has the detrimental effect of killing off brain cells....which can then lead to whats known as Stochastic effects, ie effects that take a number of years to appear but are a function of the lifestyle. Expect to see some mental effects from heavy users, I would also like to suggest the earlier onset of Parkinsons and Alzheimers etc, could be linked to over-recreational use of NOS.
This is why it WILL put a strain on the health system. You and I will be paying for these munters that might as well be sniffing petrol.
In saying that tho, you and I will also be paying for fat kids who sit in front of the playstation all day drinking V and eating Burger King. When they become type 2 diabetic and have all sorts of heart problems and end up in the public hospitals who do you think pays the bill? You and I will also paying for smokers, alcoholics, fast food junkies...the list goes on
Like you pointed out 03SC, the high only lasts for 30 secs, so why do it?
What I have seen with people is the 30 sec thing isn't enuff, so they have another, and another, and another, before long they've had 2 or 3 boxes and their lips are going blue (once again showing the signs of a lack of oxygen to the brain) and they feel a bit heady blah de blah....thats not a good stage to be at. Meanwhile there little 1 hour long binge has cost them about $30.....pfffft!
I even saw a guy once do two cannisters at once and then pass out and hit his head on the floor.....man he looked real cool after that...NOT!
Anyway, if you do want to do it, try mixing it with food grade oxygen, it'll be better for you, and you can do more.....but really whats the point.
Hope that answers your Q
.
what do others think?.
