Re: is it possible to get high off whipped cream?
 

OK, no problem.
I've seen it classified as an NMDA antagonist and it's been thought to have effects on a couple others but those probably are downstream effects.
And the lack of oxygen for an extended period of time will kill stuff. "Extended" being the important term there. Most of the neurotoxicity studies on NO2 have exposure to insane amounts of it for insane amount of time. The short time it's in you it won't cut off O2 to that extent.
To clarify, YES it CAN kill neurons, but for the most part if you use it it won't. Although the major difference is that in medical procedures it's mixed with O2. It's not mixed with O2 in the balloon.
If it was 1/10 as bad as people make it out it would never get used in medicine.
It's better to huff this than, say, MI.
