I dont know what youre on about. I dont even use Nitrous Oxide regularly, like a short session every half year or so. Im simply trying to educate people with unbased prejudices about the actual harms instead of fearmongering. A single canister is just as harmful (assuming other basic safety precautions like a balloon, lying down, breathing enough air) as 500 at a time, thats what I was trying to convey (one canister like the ones in the picture is a single dose as in a single breath which will get you sedated for about a minute, for those who dont know) I dont know if its even realistic to use so many in a single day. That would be hours of constant use.

The point Im trying to make is 1 canister on monday and 1 canister on friday is way worse for long term damages to the body than 500 on monday with a break afterwards. Its important to know for people who want to try it because its counterintuitive and differs from other drugs in that regard. Just going in uneducated like "Im not even doing that much, just once every few days" is actually harmful and easily avoidable.

Also, why judge what people spend their money on to have fun? Are you only spending it for ending wars and feeding the hungry? I assume you dont have a TV, a PC, novels, candy, fun with friends, coz those are all just hedonistic and you should judge them the same way. Oh and obviously you dont drink or smoke, right? Because society evolving in a way that made us embrace two of the most harmful drugs ever known, keeping them legal and socially accepted, does not make them less harmful. Caffeine and chocolate (theobromine) are also drugs with worse effects (even if neglectable compared to most other drugs) on the body than N2O btw. Judging people for using one drug and not for using an other would just be double standard.

If you think Nitrous Oxide has unavoidable risks, you are free to do your research and provide some sources. I will gladly be proven wrong by scientific research.

Edit: rereading my comment above, it really does sound too positive in favor of N2O, I will editi it. I dont want people to underestimate the substance either.
