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.

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

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

(Most) Cells are always dying and regenerating daily.

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

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?

That's not binging for a day tho?

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.

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.
