Actually nitrous oxide [chem. N2O] or nitrogen oxides.

Usually available in a cartridge (capsule) and consumed from a balloon.

Nitrous oxide is a colorless gas with a slightly sweet taste. It is approved as a food additive (E 942), belongs to the group of propellants and is used, for example, to foam whipped cream. It is filled into gas cylinders or cartridges under high pressure and immediately becomes gaseous when it escapes.

FOR INTOXICATION PURPOSES, LAUGHING GAS IS FILLED INTO BALLOONS AND INHALED. IT HAS ANTIDEPRESSANT EFFECTS, RELIEVES ANXIETY AND CAN LEAD TO EUPHORIA, IMPROVED EMPATHY AND CHEERFULNESS. SENSORY IMPRESSIONS ARE PERCEIVED IN A DISTORTED AND INTENSIFIED WAY. THE VOICE SOUNDS DEEPER.

SIDE EFFECTS

SIDE EFFECTS
Reduction in the contractility of the heart muscle, loss of laryngeal reflexes, impaired short-term memory, reduced alertness, circulatory problems, drowsiness, dizziness, fainting (rare), nausea/vomiting, increase in pressure, e.g. in the middle ear.

LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES

POSSIBLE LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES (rare) physical dependence; inactivation of vitamin B12, inhibition of folic acid metabolism. Bone marrow and nerve damage if large quantities are consumed.

NITROGENICITY Nitrous oxide is exhaled completely and unchanged through the lungs.

SIDE EFFECTS

CONTRADICTIONS Hypersensitivity, lung diseases, impaired respiratory function, cardiovascular diseases, head injuries, increased intracranial pressure, middle ear problems, intestinal damage, diving accidents, vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency, desire to have children, pregnancy, breastfeeding.

Avoid contact of skin, mucous membranes, eyes and lips with liquid nitrous oxide or exhaust valves at all costs (frostbite and eye damage). Take regular breaks to prevent the development of tolerance and addiction. Continuous use or high-frequency consumption of pure nitrous oxide can lead to damage to the brain and other organs. of the brain and other organs.

CAUTION WITH MIXED CONSUMPTION

Ventilate rooms well.
Do not store nitrous oxide above 36°C, keep away from open fire and ignition sources, never mix with flammable gases.

Nitrous oxide enhances the effect of many other substances. Mixing nitrous oxide and ketamine increases the risk of nerve damage.
