Simple really, looks a lot like an asthma inhaler, but the small replaceable canister contains nitrous oxide. For topical relief in stressful situations. Perhaps there is a better product than Nitrous oxide, I really don’t know.
Everyone around here seems so stressed out lately, snappy, curt, etc, I think we all need to chill out. Take a deep puff, hold it, breathe out and chill out.-- Custardguts, Oct 20 2006 Wouldn't that be a whip-it? Where you take a can of whip cream and try not to choke on the cream as you inhale the gas? Good stuff and it doesn't hurt your brain at all.-- NotTheSharpestSpoon, Oct 20 2006 Look, no inhaler!

You crack a cartridge into a balloon and suck the balloon dry, hold your breath, and commence to feel elated. The whip cream can stuff is for wussies (no offence). I had a friend, once, who emptied 3 cartridges into a balloon and fell down a flight of stairs upon inhalation (described as a feeling of "like a strobe light in my head with sounds"), only to get up and laugh histerically for about 20 seconds until he realized he had a splitting headache (brain cell holocaust).-- daseva, Oct 20 2006 No offense taken. I'm just a small time hick compared to you big city folks with your big sophiscated NO2 , what you call 'em, cartridges. I just take what drugs I can get, when I can get 'em. Oh, and that brain cell holograph sounds like a grand hootin' time!-- NotTheSharpestSpoon, Oct 21 2006 Or for extra giggles, swap in the ethanol cylinder from your friend's new fuel cell powered laptop. Your smoking friend.-- BunsenHoneydew, Oct 24 2006 random, halfbakery
