In this eye-opening video, we delve into the lesser-known aspects of nitrous oxide whippets that might leave you questioning their safety. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, has gained popularity as a recreational drug due to its euphoric effects and easy accessibility. However, recent findings suggest that these seemingly harmless whippets, or whipped cream chargers, may contain potentially harmful impurities that could pose potential risks to your health.
My aim is not to demonize nitrous oxide or pass judgment on those who choose to use it, but rather to raise awareness about the hidden dangers that may be lurking in whippets. By providing this information, I hope to empower viewers to make informed decisions and prioritize their health and well-being.

As usual, nobody would be doing any of this if the safer alternative was legally available. Thanks drug war, you've gone so far as to make even harmless drugs harmful because only the holy alcohol can be allowed to inoxicate people.

@Neuropharmacist Год назад

True.

Even opioids taken responsibly can significantly improve the life of a person with intractable pain. Carefully managed they can give a person their life back. Yet the DEA needing a win sacrificed a lot of us and left us with no alternatives. Cannabis is not a great alternative for most of us even in legal States.

I agree and disagree at same time. If I was an alcoholic, would I stop drinking if I had access to ambient, Valium, and Xanax? Probably not. Yet they are a safer addiction on body then alcohol. I suppose and alcoholic who has liver disease might be willing to make switch to pills, yet they won’t give you much. I know there is a company that offers Baclofen for alcoholics. Don’t know if they are still in business.

If someone figures out the function/origin of the cyclohexyl isothiocyanate in the chargers, please let me know!

@archieg8009 7 месяцев назад

If you absolutely must use whippets, use the Ultra Pure brand. They have the least amount of oils and other impurities of any other brand.

Yes! I will add it to my list.

Good to know..i can use the drug but need to keep it at a low level and as pure as possible.

My sister just got admitted into hospital. She has lost her mind and hasn't slept for nearly a week now. Her B levels are okay. She only had a potassium deficiency and was dehydrated. She is refusing food and believes people have done black magic on her she's very erratic and on edge. Please be careful when using whippets.

Wonderful video. I am an aspiring neuropharmacologist (still in school right now) and a recreational drug user myself. This video seemed to come at a perfect time for me as I have been using nitrous oxide every now and again under the impression that I was completely safe when using proper harm reduction practices (Not inhaling straight from the dispenser, spacing out my use, and taking B12 supplements for a few days after each use). Impurities were actually a possibility that had crossed my mind as a potential hazard before, as I had heard about black residue coming from cheap brands, but I had not heard of any such things occurring in the supposed high quality ISI brand of chargers, and the nanoparticles are a new and scary piece of information. Safe to say I will not be using nitrous any more after watching this video unless I can source a medical grade tank for myself. Thank you for keeping me safe.

@PTETdorf Год назад

Moreover: How much risk do you believe that short periods of heavy use (~100 in a day) followed by longer periods of abstinence (~1 month) poses? I have been using in that way for about two years now and noticed very minimal negative effects. The only one being that my respiratory system would feel more sensitive and I would be more prone to coughing for a few days after each use, but those symptoms would quickly subside.

@Neuropharmacist Год назад

@@PTETdorf It is very difficult to say what the real risk is. Also, the study in question did not study the impurities of all available brands. The video is more about demonstrating the possibility of a risk. Speculatively, short periods of heavy use are likely to be more damaging in the sense that there's the possibility of rapid build up of significant levels of impurities. However, it is unclear how much impurities would actually reach the lungs - most of it likely stick to the sides of the siphon, some end up in the walls of the balloon, and perhaps some find their way to the lungs.

@penguinjay 2 дня назад

are we going to have to tie balloons off, freeze them, and then spin them like in that A Scanner Darkly movie? Probably.

@shornoMALONEY Год назад

Interesting, I wasn't aware that the low levels of contaminants would affect the respiratory system. The nano-particles of metals are not something I'd thought of, I imagine it's more serious for chronic users but still not ideal.

@Neuropharmacist Год назад

It remains unclear whether this is a significant concern, but with chronic high dose use it remains plausible that one could do some damage to their lungs. Nevertheless, for many people even the possibility of inhaling these chemicals and metal particles is not very appealing.

@transkryption Год назад

Did you take footage of people blowing up balloons and play it backwards?

@Neuropharmacist Год назад

Yep!

@midwestchem368 Год назад

This is a great video! I would really like to see a video about olney's lesions from nmda receptor antagonist drug abuse. I have read articles that I believe were wrong like saying they create holes in the brain. I'm not educated in this area so i could be wrong but it is very interesting still.

@Neuropharmacist Год назад

This is an interesting area, I'll add it to my list of potential topics.

@cd7071 2 месяца назад

Very informative video, thank you for posting! Until recently there has been little research into the abuse of nitrous, but I hear the problem is only getting worse. I wonder if most of the metal particles are coming from the top of the whippet, where it is punctured to release the gas? They are also selling larger tanks now such as Exotic Whip (equal to nearly 100 whippets each), but they have a valve to release the gas instead. I wonder if the same nano-particles would be present in the larger tanks?

@Neuropharmacist 2 месяца назад

It is unlikely that the impurities would be present in tanks with valves. However, unless they are medical grade, there are no guarantees.

@francoisstrength Год назад

People who use this regularly develop a permanent slur according to people who work in 'smart shops' that sell these whippets.

@shornoMALONEY Год назад

Some people develop strange side-effects, but I doubt they are permanent. Steve-o seems alright now considering how much nitrous he was using in the past. Not heard much about impurities however, he was mostly using lab grade nitrous oxide but there's footage of him wandering around in knee-deep empty whippet canisters.

Thank you for your informative video. I notice that it was mainly zinc that goes into your body from this nitrous oxide, but isn’t zinc. Good for you? And also if it deplete B12, can’t you just keep taking B12 supplements?

@Neuropharmacist 7 месяцев назад

Inhaling metal particles is rarely good for you. B12 supplementation will likely decrease the risk.

@mojo9021 Месяц назад

Zinc is only good when you take it as a supplement, that can be absorbed by the body.

I'm only here because I just got off the phone with a long time friend. She informed me she's being admitted to the hospital because her legs stopped working. I asked her if it was MS and she said it was because she started inhaling whip its. She's so young and using a walker, I didn't even know this was a thing. I hope she gets her feeling and use of her legs back. I wish I'd known she was doing all that. I'm so suprised with this news, I hope she heals.

@Idislikeliving 5 месяцев назад

It's neuropathy caused from the vitamin B12 deficiency. Couldve been avoided if she was taking supplements while using but it's def sum I'm scared them supplements r costly
