It wasn't me...I swear...
 
Happened in my state... and I do carry a 10lb can of nitrous oxide in my Prelude trunk....but I never use it to do whippits!

I wish I would have been there to see it done! :)

About 20 years ago, I was inching down Topanga Blvd, from the 118 and drove by cops cars with 3 dead youths in it. They were definitely dead,- grey looking- they had apparently been doing nitrous in the car and suffocated.

Explains why a fill-up of Nitrous costs $50 now.

Jail-time for whippits!

Sounds like he watched Hooper too many times.

I have NOX at the dentists a few times. Under the supervision of a professional. I can't imagine trying to huff it while driving.

Lots of stuff I can't imagine however.

"A whippit is when someone inhales nitrous oxide gas to get high, usually from a whipped-cream can, per Vice."

That is the nerdiest sentence I've read in weeks.

Come on dude. No one seriously does nitrous by using whipped cream cans. Everyone has a dentist hookup. We did...

Haha, we used to do whipits when we were tripping. It really took you past the barrier to the other side for just a few minutes .
I had two dead head buddies who were known on tour as the "naked nitrous men " . The one guy, Jason, had a hook up at the gas supply place, and they would load 5-6 cylinders in the back of Jims van, and they would go to concerts and sell it for $5 a balloon. They would of course indulge in quite a few balloons themselves, and about 30 minutes in , every time, they would end up buck naked, blazed out of their minds raking in mad cash as fast as they could fill balloons
They almost got caught at Buckeye lake Ohio Phish show . Undercover cop tried to grab Jim, Stark naked, they both outran several officers, climbed their lilly white asses, over the fence, and ran into the woods . It was quite the scene .
fk, I wish I was young again

For about 8 months in college, the nitrous thing hit hard, and it was ASSUMED that any house part you threw, there would be a tank there. The people who lived there rented the tank, and got to hit it for free, while everyone else paid $5 a balloon. We all did it, because a tank was something like $100-150 black market, but you'd sell 20 or 30 balloons, so it was a money maker.

We lost 10% of our brain capacity and a year or two off our lives that year...

aka Hippy Crack.
Most live through the experience.
Works about the same as drowning in the ocean or being strangled.

I sold compressed gases from 1991-1996. Yes, industrial sized nitrous cylinders was a product we sold. We took it very seriously. Didn't sell to dead-heads or hotrodders.

Huh, I didn't know you weren't meant to.

That's one of the greatest movies of all time. I love the scene where he lights a cigarette with the car's lighter, shakes it, and throws it out the window.
Then in this scene he says, "Fix the cigarette lighter."

Another candidate for Darwin Award. Weren't there a couple guys who tried that in the last year or two and died?

A930Rocket 09-27-2020 02:35 PM

Never been around it or tried it recreationally. Met a guy that that has a tracheotomy scar. Asked what happened and he said he died doing nitrous and they brought him back.

Tried it at the dentist one time and didn’t like it.
