NOS?

[Lou Girardin]

Heard on the news this morning that the Gummint has decided that sale of Nos, "for the purpose of inhaling" is illegal. So I wouldn't buy that kit just yet.

[Maximus]

To be honest, i may be behind the times but I cannot see how Nos, "for the purpose of inhaling" is good for you??!!!
Anyone?! . . . . :confused:

The nitrous I have had experience with (for car use!!) had some real stinky stuff in it "to discourage inhalation".

I s'pose it ranks there with booze, grass, etc all not needed but whatever turns your crank.... :drinknsin

[Motu]

Whatever happened to glue? I can't keep up,the world's turning too fast!

[Marmoot]

dammit....just when things get hot for me.....
oh well, back to glue then....

On a serious note, perhaps NOS is actually better than glue as it does not leave a sticky phlegm in one's lung?

Or maybe its just that the Nos is slower in its "symptoms", but is worse in the long run?

But to be honest I thinkya prob rite, they are most likely much of a muchness?!

[Fart]

Do you run faster if you take NOS? Maybe Ben Johnson use NOS?




ps: you have to be a dumbass to take that stuff.

Back in the 70's we tried inhaling NOs it was funny as hell (laughing gas)
From what I read at the time it was basically harmless to use unless excessively so where it could damage bones or something. Anyway one of those Sparkwhip bottles inhaled from a soda siphon would give you 30 secs of
out of it then total soberness - unless you were already drunk.
These days I ask for gas when I get fillings at the dentist - wonder if I can get it for scale and polish. :killingme

I find methane works quite as good for laughing gas since everytime I farted my wife would laugh

P.S.
I would also suggest that some people are allergic to it and farting in front of them may cause irritation
:killingme

[Monsterbishi]

Finally! The other day I had one of those little canisters that was discarded on the road get flicked up by my front wheel, make a clunk loud enough to make me stop and check the bike over.

Here's the article on XtraMSN

[T.I.E]

they take all the fun out of everything don't they?
don't they want happy people walking around.
dam and the worst of all is alcohol and its legal.
have you ever seen a grass smoker ina fight?
and when they drive they are slow as and paranoid.
and no nos to inhale? what they don't want happy people?
i don't do any drugs took me forever to give up smoking
to afraid i will get hooked on something else.

[N4CR]

Yeah I have done NOS from those little cannisters with my mates... cleaned up the mess though!

Only problems are the bone thing if you abuse it 24/7 and a slight Vitamin B12 deficiency if you dont eat for the next 2 weeks or something... Apart from that its harmless.
Heightens the effects of alcohol (kicks you pretty good/bad depending on your viewpoint ;P).

Apart from that its harmless... 'lets all go try weed now huh' :angry2:. Hopefully that does not happen.

On another note... I have 12 left, any buyers lmao!

Yes, lets not do NOS children, this is the aftermath MMMMM'KAY.

WTF!?!?!? It's bad enough they put purple shit in my meths without them tainting the NOS as well! Some buggers, eh?

[bugjuice]

i used to do aerosol cans, but it was a dead give-away when I sniffed the bright orange ones


pt don't do any of that crap. I'm just funny naturally

[Wolf]

I'm just funny naturally
I was told by my (younger) brother not to do drugs on the grounds I'm "freaky enough as it is"...

[thehollowmen]

I use it on the very rare occassion... and I enjoy it.
and I don't drive for 12 hours afterwards... although I do have a sling of empty canisters, a cracker and a clear pipe that goes to the air filter on my bike... that's just a standing joke :ride:

at parties I'm usually a sober driver, I don't do any other forms of drugs.


Watching people pull a car over at the side of the road, driver door opens, pushing a load of empty canisters onto the road... that really makes me grumpy.

yeah, I've been doing it for years, a couple of times a year. It is pretty harmless stuff if you don't be silly with it.

I guess like pot (which I don't use) it is a minority giving the rest a bad name. And alcohol, I'm surprised they haven't banned alcohol and ciggies yet *sigh*

[flyin]

NOS is fairly harmless, it is used in hospitals and at dentists regularly, given to mothers in labour even so there #should# have been a fair bit of research into its effects/after effects.

but like any drug its about use not abuse.........

and yeah alcohol and ciggies are the worst but lots of people make lots of money............... or sum shite

Yeah I do a bit of nos occasionally too.. You need to be doing hundreds of cannisters a day for months to get any significant detrimental effects. It just give you a mild b12 deficiency with long term use, but you can get b12 injections.
But nos is bad.... because I'm not a millionaire :(

[Skyryder]

All in favour............The NOs and the YEaS

[StoneChucker]

I am impressed, you guys have raised good points here. I'm pleased to see some do know the ONLY side effects of NOS, when used literally everyday, is a slight Vit. B deficiency. Having a box (12 or even 24), once every couple of months does absolutely nothing to you. Trust me on that, ALOT of research has been done, and, it's used medically.

I must admit, I've done it while driving :confused: (accompanied, quiet rural streets). The effects can be as strong or weak as you let them be. However, while I have no problem with it, I haven't had any for ages since it's a social thing and I don't go out often (it's also sort of expensive, and now illegal :shifty:) It does amazing things to what you hear too, eg music or on the beach.....

Again, it's the abusers who ruin things for the rest of the "responsible" people. Life can reallllllly suck some (all of) times, and for a minute or two, it doesn't matter one little bit :drinknsin
Fuck them, medical NOS is better anyway :shifty: :shifty: (Just not easy to get hold of...:()
excuse me while I drift off into my own dream world :cool:

Once upon I time I got a 15 kg bottle from bot gas with a friend...
hell of a party :-D

[MrMelon]

Heh damn you. My old flatmate had an account at boc gas and was always talking about getting a big tank for the flat but never got around to it :(

[Sheep Dags]

it's a shame really because the main reason everyone hates it is because of all the litter. about time we banned McDonalds aye.

[chickenfunkstar]

Wasn't it always illegal to sell it for the purpose of inhaling it?

Sort of like the stuff you can buy from sex shops to inhale, thats sold as leather cleaner? (something nitrate????)

(Not that i'd know, of course)

[Pixie]

I was wondering what was to become of all the law abiding pervs who need to buy the NOS canisters for cream whipping devices?
No whipped cream for their orgies.

Conversation in corner dairy :
"You're not going to enhale this are you?Rangi."

"Oh no,Sanjay,I am going home to have strawberries and cream."

To me this sounds like another totally unenforcable law from Jim Anderton,he seems to specialise them. :tugger:

[Krusti]

Well not really. The medical Nos is mixed with oxygen. The stuff in canisters is not.
Its easy to get hold of.. just break your leg and call an ambulance, that way ACC pays for all the Nos you want.. we have the 2000 ltr bottles of compressed Nos

Allways wondered why Junior used to keep breaking bones at MX...Little bugger used to suck tank dry!:whistle:

[Krusti]

Don't forget...Only users lose drugs :lol:

I think you do get plain NOS (in the completely blue tanks). Aren't you talking about Entonox? (O2 / NOS mix, in black/white tanks)

Hell, Entonox would be safer anyway, you could just strap an O2 mask on, and relax (Wouldn't reccommed this, prob not too good for ya) :Punk: Do that with pure NOS and you won't be waking up :shifty:

[scumdog]

Pedant alert: Why does everybody (including the so-called 'newspapers') call the stuff NOS when it's actually NO2????? :confused:

In the physiology department they had a problem last year... someone snuck into an office and strapped a mask on.. pure nitrous... and my friend came back from lunch and found him on the floor..

Brief stint in hospital there... he was damn lucky

I'm a pedant about this too
NOS is Nitrous Oxide Systems.. the company that makes it for cars... and it has been popularised in movies and media.

It is a trade name that has come into mainstream useage.. like "a harley"

I had NO2 when I crashed my bike years ago and had a suspected broken ankle.

I was inhaling from the bottle constantly from Paraparaumu to Porirua - it took this long for the pain to go completely, started dulling about Paekak.

[thehollowmen]

Exactly!

(Is that the one in dunedin with the suzuki badges taken off and the harley badges stuck on it?)

[Kickaha]

Blame the movie "Fast and Furious" untill that came out everyone I know used to call it nitrous,within weeks of that being released it was called NOS

[Motoracer]

Pedant alert: Why does everybody (including the so-called 'newspapers') call the stuff NOS when it's actually NO2????? :confused:

Tell me about it! Even the news people said NOS about a 100 times during their report about it on TV!

Bloody hell, even I was embarrassed for them.

P.S. I heard that during the 30secs of the high, what is really happening is your brain cells literally disolving. Don't know how true that is.

'NO' is OK but the hit only last for about 20-30 clicks. Ride a fast bike through some windy roads at break neck speeds and you'll be buzzing for much longer!:niceone:

To be accurate maybe it should be NOX then the shops that sell it could be called NOXing shops :killingme

Whaddaya doin' on the 'puter, should be out riding that shiny new bike. Like down to Auck to show it off.

[Rod Steel]

What another brilliant NZ law :angry2: All this will mean that stores selling it will have to ask customers a simple question to get around it.

Store clerk:"you're not going to use that to inhale are you?"
shopper:"Well,,,,uugghhhhh no,,,, of course not,,,,,,"
store clerk:"kewl, that'l be $$$$. have a nice day!"

IMO it would of been easier to slap a age restriction on it rather than make it illegal.
Not to mention that this law will technicaly cover emergancy centres that have no2 for patient use. They have to buy their no2 somewhere aswell. So Im sure the government will just "overlook" them.


*SIGH*

Anybody have a count of how many laws the esteemed government has put into law without thought then realised the fuck up, and said "Oh, well, err obviously that is excluded" or "the police can use their discretion"

The obvious one in mind was the liquor law. Made it illegal to carry it to your car. But the police could then use discretion... :no:
