inhaled nitrous oxide from a whipping cream container

I have never been able to get this to work. I must be doing it wrong.

I have never been able to get this to work.

Neither have I, I keep getting a nose full of the whipping cream.......

Something is wrong with the article. I'm no expert, but I don't think she was trying to get high off a can of Reddi-Whip.

Rather, the whippets people use to get high are the same thing that makes the whipped cream come out of the spray can. The "chargers" that make the can work are bought and sold separately by drug users without the whipped cream.

Maybe the writer didn't understand that. But who knows? Maybe the woman with the whipped cream can was just that out of it.

Do not shake the can before inhaling. So I've been told. Similar tales speak of parties with a large tank of nitrous and the host filling balloons with it for guests to enjoy. I'm pretty sure too much can be harmful.

Your nose, not your arse man.
