Good work Bill,
|
|
Many years ago a rather large group of close friends discovered the merits of nitrous.
|
|
We purchased "cream whipping bulbs" (which I have heard were also known as "whippits"
|
|
from local Department stores and consumed these via a cream whipper (without the
|
|
cream) or via a soda syphon (as designed for carbonating alcoholic drinks, but sans
|
|
H20). These gas cylinders came in packs of 12 and there were several brands.
|
|
|
|
In a short space of time, our indulgence caused 1. An extreme but (fortunately)
|
|
temporary shortage of this product in the City (Brisbane) and for a radius of about
|
|
100km, and 2. A dramatic price rise of this product, local Department stores tripled
|
|
the price of these within two weeks of our introduction to nitrous.
|
|
It was quite funny, a 12 pack would last an average household maybe a year, we would
|
|
walk up to the counter and buy 2 dozen packs at a time. (This was enough for a small
|
|
group of us, we were part of a much larger whole). The next day we would be back for
|
|
more, and so it went for a few weeks and we then became more 'recreational' nitrous
|
|
users for many, many years. Must admit I still smile when I pass the cooking section
|
|
in the local supermarket.
|
|
|
|
I totally agree with the statement about duration and how the effects of gas can be
|
|
greatly enhanced. THC and nitrous mix very well, with aural, visual and tactile
|
|
perception being raised a magnitude or two (or more) above the norm.
|
|
I did a lot of trippy things during my adventurous twenties and must admit that
|
|
nitrous rates highly.
|
|
|
|
Although we tried, we were never able to score a cylinder so our parties consisted of
|
|
fully inflating a balloon(s) using 5 or six "whippits" and passing this around.
|
|
|
|
Later in life I found a good dentist who understood my fear of needles and was quite
|
|
generous with his nitrous (he had a beautiful gothic patterned ceiling and played
|
|
classical music to his patients). Now that's what I call customer satisfaction !!!
|
|
|
|
I also shared in the birth of two of my children "Don't worry darling, I'll hold the
|
|
gas between contractions". Whoopee ........

I recently lost a close friend (a beautiful 15 year old young lady) who died after
|
|
going into coma several hours after ingesting a cap of "Ecstasy". Her first and last
|
|
trip.
|
|
If you do experiment, BE CAREFUL, ensure you have someone with you who can and will
|
|
look after you (and this means willing to get medical assistance) in case something
|
|
goes wrong.

Anna Wood's death was tragic and shattering. DON'T BECOME THE NEXT VICTIM,
