What are nitrous oxide ‘whip-its?’ Demi Moore hospitalization raises awareness of dangerous gas canister inhalant
Users risk permanent injury or even death by depriving the brain of oxygen
Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/nitrous-oxide-whip-its-demi-moore-hospitalization-raises-awareness-dangerous-gas-canister-inhalant-article-1.1012287#ixzz1kaXQa500
Whip-its: The high you can buy at Wal-Mart.
While most people use nitrous oxide canisters to make whipped cream, partyers inhale them for a brief, euphoric high.
Reports that actress Demi Moore, hospitalized earlier this week for a “seizure” and shaking, had inhaled the gas may spur more people to try the cheap buzz.
Nitrous oxide is characterized as an inhalant, used by those who like to “huff” chemicals.
People can buy canisters online or in the kitchen supply aisle of stores. Sales of balloons filled with the gas are often sold in the parking lots of concerts. Some just extract the gas out of cans of Reddi-Wip.
A quick flash is often accompanied by dizziness, lack of coordination and slurred speech. Since the effect is so brief, users tend to inhale again and again, increasing their feelings of giddiness.
“Essentially, you’re depriving the brain of oxygen,” said Bobby Alexander, a social worker at Realization Center, a drug and alcohol rehab center in New York City. “It’s an immediate, short-term high. Long-term use can definitely lead to brain damage.”
Deprivation of oxygen to the brain, called hypoxia, can cause many long-term problems, including memory loss.
In the short term, inhalants can cause users to have seizures or even sudden death.
People who inhale large amounts of nitrous oxide from a balloon can die of suffocation.
“You get nitrous oxide at the dentist, but it’s regulated,” explained Christine Fitzgerald, also on the staff of the Realization Center. “You’re not meant to inhale large amounts of nitrous oxide in one dose.”
Mixing the gas with other drugs or alcohol increases the risk of serious injury or death.
The gas itself is not illegal. In many states, however, it is illegal to sell or distribute nitrous oxide to a minor or abuse it for recreational purposes.
Some states, including New York, make possession of nitrous oxide with the intent to inhale or sell the chemical a crime.

Demi Moore Was Inhaling Nitrous Oxide
January 25, 2012 by: KRISTIN WONG
http://www.hollyscoop.com/demi-moore/demi-moore-was-inhaling-nitrous-oxide.html
As it turns out, “exhaustion” means “side effects of inhaling a dangerous amount of nitrous oxide.”
Demi Moore, who was hospitalized after a friend called paramedics on Monday, was reportedly inhaling nitrous oxide. AKA that stuff at the dentist that makes you not give a sh-t that you’re getting a root canal.
According to TMZ, a friend of Demi’s who was at her home told emergency workers she was doing whippets. Whippets are a street name for some specific type of nitrous oxide inhalant; my coworker just informed me “the Beastie Boys were big into them.”
TMZ says it’s “not a common drug amoung people of Demi’s age and social status.”
Mike D on the other hand…
“It’s typically used by younger people who are looking for a cheap thrill,” the site continues.
The friend apparently became upset when Demi had a reaction to inhaling and lapsed into semi-consciousness.
Another source told PEOPLE that Demi has been on a downward spiral for a while now.
“Really, it was over the last year her friends saw a change,” the source said. “She wasn’t sleeping as well, didn’t seem to be eating and looked really gaunt.”
Another source summed it up: “Demi is a mess.”
Sources close to both Demi and Ashton said that Moore had a prescription drug problem and it was a contributing factor to her breakup with Ashton.
“It was a sticking point for Ashton. He wanted her to take care of herself and get a hold of things, and she wouldn’t.”

Jesus fucking Christ, I hate people. Fuck Demi Moore, fuck her dumb friend, and fuck this journalist for making a big deal out of n2o. This whole world is so bored and gossip-infested that we're expected to actually care if some actress called an ambulance.
What about Gurtrude, the 90 year old lady who fell down stairs and died yesterday. We need to outlaw stairs.

Great, I bet they will now try to ban N2O canisters. And one balloon with N2O is not going to kill anyone.

This isn't news worthy. Now if she had done PCP and went on a rage fest, I'd be interested.

No, essentially you're blocking glutamate from binding to NMDA receptors, as well as affecting numerous other receptors and ion channels (to a lesser degree).

Bobby is a social worker... not exactly qualified to make an informed statement on nitrous oxidde.

I've never seen wippets at any wal-mart I've been to, then again I've never looked or really buy things from the type of isle you'd find that at. Cooking supplies I assume? I wonder if every wal-mart sells them? It'd be a funny to ask an employee to let you know where you can find the nitrous or wippets or whipped cream chargers.

i was listening to my favorite morning radio station this morning and the hosts where talking about it, i found it rather funny the female dj had no idea what whip it's were, and the guy was doing his best to try and tell her without just out right stating on the radio how to do it.

I've never seen them at Walmart.
The walmart by me asks for ID if you want to buy elmers glue.
I really doubt they've got whip its.

I've seen friends do whippets while standing, pass the fuck out and just fall flat on their face. Shit's intense.

Same here...I have seen a handful of people pass out and collapse to the ground, as well as a few people go into minor convulsions/seizures (including my self). The convulsions and what not (along with the blue lips) tend to occur when people just sit there and huff away on a balloon never breathing in fresh air, this is when oxygen is deprived.
Nitrous is actually rather safe, but you need oxygen! I tell people this all the time, breathe in a little bit of fresh air in between "huffs", otherwise all you're doing is suffocating your self. And you don't even need to huff it in and out, you can simply inhale some in, take a little bit of fresh air to pull it down into your lungs, then hold it...People never listen though and have their minds set on huffing a balloon until they're blue in the face  .
PsilocybinMike, if you've never been to the point of being dissociated from "reality" you're doing it wrong  . Almost every time I take nitrous I am fully dissociated for a brief moment, then as I come back to every sound I hear loops and echoes over and over again.
