Nitrous oxide – known colloquially as “laughing gas” – has many uses, from a painkiller during dental procedures to a whipping agent for canned whipped cream.
While its euphoric side effects have long been known, the rise of vaping has helped create a perfect delivery vehicle for the gas - and a perfect recipe for an addiction, experts warn.
this is largely a problem in a country that also still shoves pieces of metal way up into people’s vaginas with no anesthesia.
you’re lucky if the dentist has nitrous at all here a lot of the time lmao. there’s even some grades within the country itself. most of america is literally a 3rd world shithole but you can’t say it publicly bc of the 10% of the population that lives in comfort and will get offended that you would dare talk about [insert any experience here that they themselves are entirely isolated from due to class]. it hurts their sensibilities or something… either way just know that when people say america is a shithole that is an understatement for the vast majority of american’s lives.
They get offended because it is contrary to the story they tell themselves that the poor are just a bunch of whiners and bring their situation on themselves.
