In this experience, I was curious of was a high does of nitrous would be like. A little history of me: I've tried nitrous before, smoked marijuana, eaten Morning Glories, and also sniffed the flowers of Jimson Weed, which the flowers have a very nice scent.

So I went to the store and bought 4 bottles of Quipp (7 oz.), I believe it's called. I went back to my house to leave to the beach (I live in Hawaii) for the experience. That night, it was very windy, which was horrible to do anything in. I sat on a beach chair right by the rolling sea.

So I popped open the first bottle and thought of using the big ballons I brought to fill them up and then inhale. I did just that.

First ballon, I put the ballon neck over the nozzle of the bottle: the nitrous came out quick and steady. I stopped it half way through the bottle and pinched the ballon. I inhaled and entered a sort of intoxicated state and noticed myself similing greatly. It's just a wonderful feeling.

I knew I had little time, I finished emptying the bottle in the ballon. I took the next inhale, this time deeper and longer. I got a little higher and noticed that the stars were looking more pretty than ever. Seconds after, I was traveling right up to the peak from my long gone baseline. I felt so happy, but I knew it was short-lived. I looked at my watch and saw 2 minutes had past on the stopwatch. Another bottle of nitrous was on my way to my brain. I popped the top off and injected the nitro directly into my mouth was makes a cool effect. The effect is the filling of the lungs very quickly, as if I received a dose of medicine from the doctor.

I quickly inhaled the whole bottle in one breath. I was feeling myself getting increasing more silly and laughing for no reason. I was thrashing about my chair in laughter. It was very pleasant. Then the last bottle, I took a couple of seconds to relax and stuck the nozzle in my mouth for a fifth inhale of the gas. I quickly shot up to a level of nitrous I call 'too much'. I closed my eyes from the laughter of the gas and opened them to stared off into the distance. At that moment, I thought of nothing. My mind had left all thoughts and thought-processes behind and all I could do is laugh my ass off.

I felt like, at those short but seemingly long seconds at the peak, I was temperarly retarded and couldn't think even I had to.
I stayed like that minutes after that last bottle.

30 minutes had gone by and I was back at baseline, still feeling a little werid. Also, it's important that I point out the after effects. My feet and hands tingled, which I read that Nitrous causes the depleation of vitmin B-12 (which is found in fine nerve endings of the feet and hands), so I took some B-12 suppulments I bought at GMC. They helped a lot. I drove back home with my new piece of knowledge and went to bed.

Enjoy the Journey.
