When Vito Oliveri first tried nitrous oxide in his twenties he didn't expect a legal drug that gives a quick high to temporarily paralyze him and his fiancée years later, leaving them unable to walk their four dogs.
As recently as early last year, Oliveri, 34, who lives in Portland, Oregon, near some of the best ski resorts in the US, would often ski or take trips to the lakes with his fiancée, Emily Shuford, 30.
"I'd typically be on the mountain on a Monday like today, but we just can't. Emily uses a cane and I probably can't walk a mile. We've been limited to the house, probably since April of last year," Oliveri told Insider in February.

They used to make nitrous oxide by heating ammonium nitrate... seems like a dangerous process...

He took it at parties for about a year and stopped until he moved to Portland in 2020 and discovered the super-size cylinders containing 20 pounds of nitrous oxide — equivalent to 1,600 0.2-ounce capsules — and costing around $400 each. As the cylinders weren't available in his area, he'd use 400 to 500 canisters a day for about a year to achieve the same euphoric effects.
Dumbass. No sympathy whatsoever.

I would suggest he use it again and again. At least he would find his current life a good laugh. LOL

Probably a certain amount of brain damage as well.
Taking anything that puts you in an altered mental state chronically is going to rebound on you badly. Just the way it is. So have some self control.

Hmmm, I use a bunch of it for making whipped cream. Love whipped cream ;-) Also for infused cold brew coffee.

Yep. People complain about the old people getting SS never seem to realize what a drain SSI is on the fund. And they are probably on Medicaid as well.

"...needing to use a walking frame or wheelchair, and others who were incontinent or unable to get an erection." Well...that's one way to get rid of that nuisance 4-hour erection if you took Viagra.

I know a loser on SSI who I would estimate has cost the taxpayers at least $1 million in medicaid expenses, on top of his disability payments.
I’m pretty sure his mommy smoked and drank while she was pregnant with him. The guy is an opioid addict and is as dumb as box of rocks. Also visits the emergency room on a frequent basis, one year he made over 60 visits to the ER.

Every dentist trip that I have Nitrous Oxide I carry a bottle of B-12 sublingual and have the nurse give me 3 at the end of the dental procedure.
1st time I didn’t “wake” up for 3 days, called dentist and after much research he called me back and told me to take 3 B-12 and in another 15 min take 3 more. Back to normal in 30 minutes.
