THE EXPERIENCE
I and a friend bought a cream container and went to a park. We sat on the grass and filled a balloon. Its diameter measured approximately 7 cm. It looked pretty small. I thought it wouldn’t do very much. However, I was wrong. Very little will make me laugh my ass off!
That day I was feeling happy as I didn’t have anything to worry about. I was on holidays so I didn’t have to study either.
+0 seconds. We inhaled the gas doing the 15 seconds rule (hyperventilating for 15 seconds so that the blood has enough oxygen, and to prevent fainting).
+30 seconds. I felt how I slowly started to smile, it felt like automatic as I wasn’t consciously grinning.
+40 seconds. After a few seconds, I and my friend started to laugh a lot for no reason. I was definitely high at that point, but it was more a physical high (laughter) rather than mental as I was clear-headed (or that’s what I thought).
+1 minute and 30 seconds. We stop laughing and feel great.
+The next half hour. After that I was feeling pretty happy for about half an hour and had slight stomach discomfort.
We enjoyed it. However, it wasn’t that funny as the laughter felt forced. When I watch a comedy, I laugh because it is actually funny and I have a better time. With nitrous, though, the only funny thing is the laughter itself. I should not use it too often and do it when I don’t have tasks afterwards that require thinking.
