Many years ago, my brother got a call late one night to pick up a couple of his friends. He arrived at a darkly lit location only to find two of his buddies standing next to what looked to be a child wrapped in a blanket. They piled in the car and dragged with them what my brother could now make out as a large tank of some sort.
My brother was the rough and ready type back then and calmly drove away towards the two boy's homes to drop them off. He dropped the first kid off and then proceeded deeper into the suburban sprawl to drop off the other. The two boys were filled with hyper amounts of adrenaline and LSD... there was no conversation in the car that night. Not even an explanation of what was in the tank or even what the hell the guys were doing near the industrial side of town.
As my brother drove his car around a long and lumbering curved street, the boy in the backseat clutching the tank started to talk. "We robbed a dental supply... and this... this is your payment for picking us up.". "Well what the hell is inside of the tank?" asked my brother rather nervously.
"Nitrous Oxide man! N2O dude. You remember those whippets we had on the Shakedown Street at the Rosemont Horizon? Well, this is a big fucking tank full of that shit... primo... straight from the Dentist! And she's all yours!" proclaimed the kid proudly.
The car had now reached the his home and the young man swiftly flashed my brother the peace sign and headed up the front path.
We had nitrous parties like you can't imagine! We shared a bedroom so we rolled the tank under my brothers bed and fashioned two rubber hoses that we could simultaneously hit from the tank while laying in bed. My mother worked a lot and we just simply hid everything from her pretty damn well.
The tank was so strong in the beginning that it used to knock out the most experienced drug users cold from just one short hit.
We fucking had a great time and when the tank was empty... we were just sick of it. To this day, I can't even get a whiff of nitrous without feeling slightly dizzy! lol!
The buzz was INTENSELY euphoric... a body buzz like a HEAVY LSD trip. It also had the temporary loss of your balance and composure similar to the effect of GHB.
Nitrous oxide kills plenty of brain cells though and I would encourage anyone with access to it and who wants to do it to be careful and do it with someone who has done it before.
Nothing was more sad than watching a good friend of mine sit on a chair and repeatedly pass out while doing constant nitrous oxide for hours a couple of New Year's Eves ago.
The best thing about Nitrous is that it doesn't last very long. Who knows, you might like it... I did the majority of my N2O in a social setting and it sits alongside my memories of partying with my friends as a teenager. I'm 37 and my nitrous days are over.
