Also very flamable that way.

I used to do that to doorknobs as a kid. Getting high never occurred to me but it's good I didn't know were flammable because... 🔥

They get high on the propellant (usually difluoroethane), basically, enhanced by hypoxia

Nitrous oxide (“whippits”) is a whole other thing that is very much a grey market drug dealer “this should probably just explicitly be legal at this point because the hoops people jump through are kind of silly”. Like if you’re into cooking nitrous oxide chargers are a valid thing to own for making whipped cream and such so headshops often stock huge tanks under the guise of “for culinary use only”, just like how people only use bongs for tobacco, right

Compressed air is about 0% air, you're correct in that, but nitrogen is a part of air so it's not it. It's butane, propane or other less flamable but worse shit, afaik

You just have to blow it through a folded up rag usually... Otherwise, do you think an addict would stop just because it tastes bad?

Was gonna say, isn't it mostly NO2 things for making whippy cream that people huff. And butane although that's riskier.

Compressed air tastes awful, even when directed into an aging 1060.

was it ever plesant to begin with

At my age I can get high just by standing too fast.

Probably safer, too.

They did but after.... they... hufd doz bran celz ded......zzzzzzzz

Some more than others, and I believe some don’t at all?

I’ve used commercially available stuff in Canada before and it was god awful. I avoided cleaning anything that wasn’t absolutely coated in dust simply because it left a film of bitter on everything. Which doesn’t sound terrible except you don’t realize how often you touch a surface then your face/mouth.

I’ve also used “bulk” stuff in an enterprise setting, albeit in the US, and there was literally no bittering as far as I could tell. Granted, I wasn’t abusing it to get high or anything so maybe the tech has just come far enough to not need to make the room itself bitter, but it seemed like there wasn’t anything.

They do, just some people don't care and are happy enough to deal with that and get the high off it. I'm not sure it's a good high but y'know I guess whatever.

I feel like you can get better highs for cheaper, I don't really know why people choose to inhale that shit but they do.

If you want to get high off of a gas I'd say it's way way waaaaaY safer to just inhale nitrous oxide (whippits), It won't be the same high but it's probably better overall, can't say I've ever huffed canned air though so can't do a true comparison.

Just the stuff in canned air is so much worse for your body and brain.

I am indeed a very boring person.
