What is N2O?
Nitrous Oxide (also known as laughing gas, nitrous, whippets, nangs, and nos) is a dissociative anesthetic
commonly used in medical procedures, food production, and as an oxidizer in automotives.
It is also widely abused recreationally due to it's euphoric and dissociative properties.
In our collective experience, it is very addictive, incredibly harmful to the mind and body,
and potentially life-threatening.
What are the effects of N2O?
Negative experiences of heavy habitual use:
- Isolation
- Feeling less
- Looking for something else

Nitrous produces a very brief but intense high. Smaller doses typically induce euphoria, and an increased sensory awareness, especially that of sound.
Many users report having a virtual out-of-body experience, which many feel leads to spiritual awakenings, a strong sense of connection to the universe, and even direct contact with a divine presence.
