    “Today we are sending a clear signal to young people that there are consequences for misusing drugs. Both users and dealers will face the full force of the law for their actions,”

    Criminalising the users has worked so well with other drugs, hasn’t it? The war on drugs will be won any second now…

    Ah the vitaminB12 problem, which is far worse than the liver cirrhosis in alcoholics, and you know, lung cancer…

    I’ve never even had a go on Nitrous, but what a bullshit excuse.

        I was hesitant to buy into the whole nitrous thing when getting dental work done. What’s a little discomfort? I can take it. But holy fucking shit does it make a difference for the better. Especially for something like a cleaning; I’m calmer, more relaxed, and even though I can still feel what they are doing in there I just don’t care as much. It feels like a zero calorie beer for breakfast. And paired with actual numbing agents during a more involved procedure, it helps them as much as me. It’s like a hypnosis drug. I just focus on breathing through my nose and follow their instructions without any stress and the drunken feeling passes before I even leave the chair so I can go on with my day.

        Moreover, I can’t exactly make whipped cream with carbon dioxide. Are they going to outlaw Guinness in a can with the nitrous widget next?

        When I had some teeth out they injected something into my gums to numb it and it was fucking horrible. Next time I went they got the syringe out and I just told them I’d rather feel the pain than go through that again.

          Novocaine. But if you’re having surgery you definitely want it. It’s not exactly pleasant having someone stab you in the gum with a with a needle but it’s even less pleasant to have someone pull one of your teeth out with a pair of pliers.
