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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
if people are turning to whippet abuse they are battling depression and substance abuse in general. These peeps are self medicating, and need help, so of course let's instead get rid of the medication they use while succumbing to the side-effects of a brutal society.
Hey sometimes you just gotta get wompy
Homemade whipped cream industry in shambles
Crackers are legally sold at gas stations, smoke shops, and convenience stores.
Oh how the turn tables 
Just a reminder prohibition doesnt work. And prolonged use of nitrous will effect your vitamin b absorption.
prohibition doesnt work
Why not? In what contexts? Seems a bit ahistorical to claim that universally.
Prohibition in the US isn't a good example to draw from. Alcohol was an almost universal drug that could be made easily, and industrial production of it existed. The push for prohibition was predominantly a feminist movement led by women. It was almost immediately undermined by politicians, former liquor producers, and organized crime.
There are many illegal things or substances that prohibition seems to prevent the distribution of. But again, I don't think the drug industry in the US is actually prohibited. If anything it's managed by law enforcement, who have no interest in solving the problems, since that would eliminate their position
Some good advice On this article including to discharge the canister into a balloon first so you don't freeze or puncture your lungs. Never done this drug before though.
Prohibition will definitely work this time, guys. Just one more try, please broh. I promise I won't only prosecute black people, please 🙏 😌
Also blasting straight from the canister is a real small dose and you need to unscrew a thing and screw another thing on and it's a pain. Fill a balloon.
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!
Wait, but, I legitimately love making whipped cream in the nifty whipped cream doohickeys
one for me, one for whipped cream. one for me...
I learned about this when I was a prep-cook at a Perkins. A new guy was hired to help me out and he flipped out when I was showing him the cooler and there was a whole rack of whipped cream cans on the shelf.
We spent most of that day wasting cans of whipped cream.
After that they stopped buying the pressurized cans and bought whipped cream in paper cartons.
I worked at a place where the owner and I would fill a balloon in the dry storage room and blast off.
Boooo lame
Let us huff jenkem
I am hopeful that getting these bills signed into law, hopefully soon, that we will actually begin to see the issue of nitrous oxide abuse hopefully go down because again, that is what our goal is, is that we don’t want to necessarily criminalize folks
whippet is a type of dog...
it's spelled whip-it! when I looked it up it looks like the trademark has lapsed
A single hit from one of these has residual effects that last an entire 24 hours.
I was so pissed when they banned salvia here
Everyone I've ever talked to who did salvia said it was terrifying and they never wanted to do it again. Did you like it?
It was a 50/50 shot whether it was going to be super fun or a bit dark. It's over so quick, it's really not too big of a deal if you get a bummer.
It's been a long time since I had any, but I'd be down to try again
I love it, and have only ever had a good time
perfect example of a solution looking for a problem
On the bright side maybe this will be to the detriment of the most annoying kind of podcasters.
Come and take it 
Fuck Michigan.
punishment for gaza support?
Jeez I am conflicted on this.
On one hand, I don't agree with making any drug illegal. People should generally be allowed to put what they want in their bodies.
On the OTHER hand, seeing fruit flavored canisters the size of my thigh with "cool" 18 y/o people all over the advertising looks just like the predatory shit the tobacco industry does.
Some kind of regulations wouldn't be amiss probably, but I doubt a ban is anything helpful.
NEEEEEEEERDS
I always use these to clear drain lines on HVAC systems, but never used it recreationally since I always heard it was like a minute high anyways.
it's a great minute
fucking assholes
Aren't those the same charges that baristas use to make whip cream?
I'm not going back to fucking redy whip, no.
