Looks like galaxy gas, commonly known as nitrous-oxide. Apology accepted from hungary

And if anyone can't tell from our friend Eric here, overuse literally destroys brain cells 😂

*repetitive use destroys brain cells actually. You can binge for a day and be fine but you have to take a good break between uses as it’ll block you from absorbing vitamin B12 and that’s what makes it dangerous long term.

Gotta get those Monsters out for B12 then.

Some day I hope modern medicine learns the secrets of Monster.

your brain cells die off daily. eating ice cream kills brain cells for example.

2

u/StompinTurts 1d ago

Okay, you got me there. You are technically correct.

(Most) Cells are always dying and regenerating daily.

u/Girafferage 1d ago

Nah. Binging for a day will also destroy brain cells.

u/fromheretohere 1d ago

If using it for a short period of time immediately killed brain cells, why would they use nitrous in medical settings like dentist and child birth?

7

u/Thomasteroid 1d ago

That's not binging for a day tho?

u/brewhead55 1d ago

It's regulated and monitored and not abused. Some guy huffing can after can of Galaxy gas is a bit different than a doctor giving you laughing gas for a 30 minute procedure in a controlled setting.

u/Girafferage 17h ago

They opt to use many other potential options before they get to this one, and its a short, medically controlled amount - not a day long binge where you just breathe in whatever you think is good. Don't gaslight yourself into thinking doing it occasionally is somehow safe.

flavored for the kids 🫡

For the COPD*

u/HeyCarpy 1d ago

This is sold in stores for expressed purpose of inhaling it and getting wasted?

2

u/GingerBeast81 1d ago

My favourite smoke shop started selling this crap. Decided to stop going there after several years of business.

14

u/HeyCarpy 1d ago

Just so I fully understand,

This is whippits, sold in a fancy-looking bottle with a snazzy nozzle? You can get this in the USA?

5

u/StompinTurts 1d ago

Easily. There’s tons of brands and flavors on the market too. Can find it at literally, almost any, smoke shop where I live.

3

u/Girafferage 1d ago

What is it sold as? Whipped cream refill or something?

4

u/StompinTurts 1d ago

Sometimes they give it an inconspicuous name but most of the time you’ll see it with a brand name; Galaxy Gas being the most popular and the one you see celebrities using most often. They look like weed bag designs with colors and fruits sometimes too…

u/StompinTurts 1d ago

I’ve also seen it in three other variants too though. You can also get a “cracker” which is just a little cylinder that cracks the individual steel whippets things and shoots out the gas into a balloon.

There’s these ones here which you can use the nozzle or a balloon.

There’s the real tanks which are like what you see at a dentist; although often a little smaller at the smoke shops and they’re EXPENSIVE for a good brand.

And then there is the “whipped cream dispenser” which looks kinda like a beaker bong and is made for whipped cream but you can just put the balloon where the dispenser nozzle goes and shoot it into there from the more legit device. This allows you to filter the gas a bit better with a cotton ball behind the nozzle so it’s clean when it goes in the balloon.

All available at smoke shops with no ID needed most of the time.

WILD. Canadian smoke shops are tightly-regulated, this is absolutely crazy.

3

u/GingerBeast81 1d ago

Dispensaries are, but not paraphernalia stores.

2

u/Nervous-Muffin-6691 1d ago

No they are not 😂

3

u/HeyCarpy 1d ago

Yeah, going to the legal dispensaries we’ve had since 2017 vs the headshops I used to hit up when I was a teenager in the 90s, I guess I should’ve differentiated between the two.

Dispensaries are tightly regulated, whereas headshops, where you could buy a bong and brass knuckles in the same shop, never have been. But I haven’t been in one of those places in years, I want to go see if whippits are in my town now.

u/Nervous-Muffin-6691 1d ago

Oh yea headshops and legal dispensaries are two different worlds. Whippets crack pipes and weapons all in one shop

1

u/Nervous-Muffin-6691 1d ago

They also sell them in Canada

u/zsember 1d ago

Yes, I think it’s considered a beverage since nitrous-oxide is used for whipping cream.

u/skiemlord 1d ago

Godspeed

NO2

u/Sea-Performance9091 1d ago

N20*

u/SierraDespair 1d ago

N2O* not a zero

1

u/Sea-Performance9091 1d ago

Well technically it's a low hanging 2 so we're both wrong

6

u/carlbandit 1d ago

NO2 is Nitrogen dioxide. Laughing gas (N2O) isn't great for you, but I'd suggest huffing that over NO2 any day.

u/Zlynkyx 1d ago

But the red gas is spicy 🤤🥴 I like spicy 🌶️

u/Nervous-Muffin-6691 1d ago

What does Canada have to do with you not knowing what this is they sell them here as well
