Laughing gas

When I was in London in September, I went to the Notting Hill street festival with some friends. Most of the sidewalk vendors were selling food. But I saw a woman with a balloon in her hand selling laughing gas for 2 pounds a hit! I had to try it. Mehrdad Aref-Adib took this video when I was inhaling. The woman said I had to breath in and out twice to get the full effect. I did get a funny feeling and I thought it was interesting that the gas had a sweet taste.

In my 5 year of med. school, I was at the child delivery section, and it was a quiet night, me and a friend sat in an empty delivery room, and tried the gas. We just had to get out and sit down for a while, we laughed and were completly fussy

to farrod02: Ironic if JJ was taken for a ride with laughing gas

by Anahid Hojjati on Mon Oct 05, 2009 12:47 PM PDT

farrod02: If JJ was taken for a ride, would that be a balloon ride? Since Laughing gas was probably helium which is also used in balloons. For some info on Helium please read:

 Helium (pronounced /ˈhiːliəm/, HEE-lee-əm) is the chemical element with atomic number 2, and is represented by the symbol He. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, inert monatomic gas that heads the noble gas group in the periodic table. Its boiling and melting points are the lowest among the elements and it exists only as a gas except in extreme conditions...

Shoot, I have forgotten

There is a way you can inhale laughing gas from those whipped cream dispensing containers. Back in the 70s my American friends were masters of that sort of thing -- cheap highs. All I remember is a rush. Then you laugh because the whole thing is so funny.

Thank you again

Thank you again for the laughing gas demo and your comments:

Happiness is a state of mind, when you are at peace with yourself and the world, or something like that. Drugs, food, diamond ring, big house, fancy car -- none of this stuff will do it.

great job!!!!!!

thanks,

Happiness?

by Jahanshah Javid on Sun Oct 04, 2009 03:11 PM PDT

The gas just makes you giddy for a minute or two. I don't know what the concentration was but I'm pretty sure it was not as strong as what they give you at the dentist office. Happiness is a state of mind, when you are at peace with yourself and the world, or something like that. Drugs (not even my beloved alaf), food, sex, diamond ring, big house, fancy car -- none of this stuff will do it.

Happiness inducing gas?

by onlyinamrica on Sun Oct 04, 2009 02:46 PM PDT

Do you actually feel happy or is it just muscle reaction?

This was interesting. Is this the way you always laugh? It's so restrained, polite. Especillay with that hand on your mouth thing your did. Were you holding in a cough. When i laugh my head goes back ward and it's az tahel del. Ghah Ghah. Even for the most benign things. I haven't mastered the art of subdued, khanoom like, silent chuckle. Very interesting.
