Does Laughing Gas really work?

Filed in Music / Movies / Videos 1 comments

Well, after these youtube trends … Salvia Divinorum smoking, goatses and two girls one cup reactions it seem to be hip to film yourself while and after inhaling laughing gas.

Hmm does it really work, I wondered. Since it would be not possible to treat someone’s teeth after a patient inhaled the gas. So I asked Wikipedia and found this:

Scientist Humphrey Davy introduced nitrous oxide to the public (primarily the British upper class) as a recreational drug at "laughing gas parties" in 1799, 36 years before it was used medically. The gas does NOT make one laugh; in fact, it makes the user feel stuperous, dreamy, and sedated. Davy called it "laughing gas" because at his parties, everyone laughed and had a good time watching the user’s "nitrous oxide capers", which included stumbling around, slurred speech, and falling down. More info: Laughing Gas

So I’m wondering what these people were inhaling. Their own farts perhaps?

But then on the other hand:

Whatever you do with laughing gas don’t blame it on RGS. Also apparently there is a site which sells laughing gas in whipped cream gas chargers.

Something new learned today, cheers!

I hate laughing gas. They give it to you when you are in labour in the UK and it was one of the worst things I have ever experienced. It made time seem to slow down and judder for me. This is not good when you are having contractions!
