Really, he'd use 400 to 500 canisters a day for about a year? Was he independently wealthy and didn't have a job?

Oh, I know. But it said at first they were using balloons & crackers for the small nitrous cartridges which is stupid when you can use a whipped cream make as I posted.

VIVITROL binds to the GABA receptors on the amygdala, breaking the action-reward cycle for alcohol and narcotics.
Antabuse specifically makes you sick, potentially to the point of death, by interfering in the metabolic chain of ethanol.

NO2 I'd say is the perfect drug - one whippet and you get 30 seconds of altered state which for me included deja vu and Depeche Mode "In Your Room" bass.  Fades without hangover; diminishing returns on subsequent use.

But hell, abuse anything and you'll end up messed up.  Water, Big Macs, a drug that specifically I tested for signs of "Nitrogen narcosis" when deep scuba diving...

Thought that "tank with balloons laying on the floor" photo was a joke until I noticed it was credited to the subject of the article. That's not a drug that should ever be used to that level - not surprising it escalated to causing extreme issues respectively.

IF, and that is our key word here, this story isn't 10% "Oh look, junkies" and 90% "Unicorn Semen", I will be shocked. However, I'm a sporty fella, let's assume this isn't puma pewp; to whit, if they're legit hooked, they would know where all the metal scrappers were.

I have a hard time believing someone could actually consume that amount of nitrous in a given day.

If true, what that really does is convince me how incredibly safe the substance is for casual consumption.

Does not ring a bell.  The only time I saw nitrous in anything other than reg. cartridges was when people would bring huge tanks to raves & sell them by the balloon.

Yeah.  And that's another thing -

Noyce said that there isn't an agreed definition of "heavy use," but a ballpark figure is using more than 10 to 15 canisters more than once a week, citing his own research, while the Dutch Poison Centre classes puts it at inhaling 50 or more balloons in a single session.

50? in a session?   Who the fark is huffing 50 balloons is a session?  That is absolutely mind boggling.

That is what is suspected happens with Vivitrol but still just an assumption. Antabuse is a straight chemical reaction that is well understood. The first time someone taking Antabuse doesn't check if the mouthwash they use contains alcohol is a sight to see.
I had to take a course of flagyl after a trip to India and it has a similar effect as Antabuse.

Naltrexone oral is the same drug as Vivitrol, just has to be taken intentionally an hour before drinking. That shiat worked for getting me off alcohol as my drug of choice. Instead of enjoying a buzz, it made me feel through pharmacological extinction that alcohol was just empty calories that made me feel shiatty the next morning. However it works, it does work.

the california desert rave scene effectively self regulated and banned no2 at raves in the late 90's-early 2000's. having to call the paramedics to the middle of nowhere because some idiot passed out on their feet from nitrous and cracked their face open kinda messes with the full moon party vibes.

I had two 50 lb cylinders in college, and a hookup to have them refilled. Made a lot of money following The Dead and hosting parties.

Biggest expense was the balloons. Biggest headache was the valve on top freezing up when you were selling them too fast.

We also hooked up a mask system to use at parties, straight out of the valve. That was pretty stupid.

Still not sure how I made it out of the late 80's / early 90's.
