Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

i was blown away when i discovered they sell huge canisters of this stuff now
used to be either you get a 24 pack of the tiny canisters from smoke shop or some guy you know got a hold of a medical grade tank
take vitamin b supplements and use no more then once (one session) a month! have a trip sitter, use a balloon, make sure you take a breath of air between each hit!!
Notably it appears to interfere with b12 by changing the oxidation state or something. It depletes reserves.
So you can't just supplement and be good, as Des mentions you need breaks.
I would suggest a less frequent use pattern though, it's probably better to binge a week or something and then give a good long break of several months. I think an abundance of caution is warranted around nervous system nutrients. Believe you me you absolutely do not want neuralgia, it's the worst pain I've ever experienced (mine is from arthritis alas).
what about b12 injections?
idk enough one way or the other
why Vitamin B?
Prolonged abuse of nitrous leads to B vitamin deficiency, which leads to severe nerve damage. It takes a lot of nitrous, but it can be veeerrrry addictive. Someone left alone with a whole tank to themselves for a week can really fuck themselves up.
nitrous oxide depletes it in the body. B-6 and B-12. prolonged useage can cause nerve damage because of that depletion. otherwise it's a safe gas as long as you make sure to include oxygen
holy shit when did this change... ~~2.2~~ 3.3 liters!
