trying a hard drug "just once" sounds a like Russian Roulette to me. Not a judgement, just that dangerous.
 
I agree with JY. I've never tried anything harder than advil. A little bit scared, and alot a bit "why do I need to?". Never could justify why I need to when I'm doing fine without it.

Huh? Helium fatal? How so? It's an inert gas - it doesn't form any kind of bonds with the blood cells or the lung tissue. It's harmless, unless you inhale sooo much there is no room left in your lungs for oxygen, which is practically impossible.
 
...back in the day ..for fun, my friends and i would use a strategical stranglehold on eachother which cuts off the circulation to the brain. but allows you to breath.. wed hold it until the guy would pass out. .. you dont recall passing out, but the next thing you know your waking up and getting up off the floor all tingley and tired. some people flop around like fish when you do that to them. anyway .. talk about stupid. last time i did it i was telling my ex-fiance that she should do it to me cause she didnt believe it worked. so i sat in a chair and she tried it.. i was talking to her the whole time and i told herthat if i stopped talking she should let go. i held an arm up in the air too so shed know if i was out and didnt just hold it till i died or something. anyway i remember telling her to let go cause it wasnt working.. she said.. you sure.. and i said.. yeah.. its not going to work and started to stand up .. next thing i knew i was getting up off the floor again. and my hand and head hurt like heck.. i guess when she let go the flow of blood back knocked me out, and i hit the ground ... hard. i fell onto my hand that was in the air. and sprained my wrist and a couple fingers. my head hit my dresser and had a big wealt and i had a massive headache for the rest of the day. ..even though im sure i killed braincells that day.. i got smarter. it was the last time.

anyway.. point is not really about drugs. but that was really ...really dumb.

Hmm I always thought it was bad. How come it gets you light headed?

Not sure how it works, but I have heard more than a few times that it can be fatal. If memory serves me correctly it had something to do with bubbles of something forming where they shouldn't be forming....It could also be as accurate as the poodle in the microwave tale:laugh:

Temporary deprivation of oxygen in the brain.

HEH - brain bubbles! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
 
Okay, I went and edited the POLL but when I tried to VOTE for the option again; it says YOU ALREADY VOTED.

Damn it. Maybe it's a cookie issue?
 
Doctors around Australia are concerned about the health risk associated with people inhaling helium. This is a particular problem when people are inebriated and their system is already contending with an outside influence.

According to Consultant Occupational Health Physician, Dr Greg McGroder, "Australians have not yet realised the extreme danger associated with helium inhalation. If the concentration of oxygen is decreased below 18% within the human body, symptoms and signs of Asphyxia can occur. Helium gas can totally displace the available oxygen and if this is maintained for even a few seconds, asphyxia and death can and will occur".

In 1898, fifteen year old Michelle Moreno from Texas died from helium inhalation at a friend's party. Her death caused major headlines regarding the dangers of helium inhalation. In Australia, Kristi Brash from Victoria had a near death experience when she appeared to freeze and turn blue after inhaling the entire contents of a balloon. Kristi fell motionless to the floor but luckily regained consciousness after a few minutes. Kristi was rushed to hospital and after examination she appeared to be find although any long term affects of the inhalation are yet to be determined.

Comedy television and radio programmes often use helium as a device to get laughs. This portrays helium inhalation as a fun, safe practice when, in effect, it is deadly. Public figures are influential in the minds of the public and they need to realise that they could either die from helium use or be indirectly responsible for the death of another.

BOC Gases is deeply concerned about the misuse of Balloon Gas and is going to great efforts to inform the public that helium inhalation can be fatal. Unfortunately with people continuing to ignore the dangers of this potentially lethal practice, it is a difficult task to educate the public that HELIUM INHALATION IS NO LAUGHING MATTER!
 
Okay - I get the point. I didn't think of 'mechanical' causes (pressure changes in lungs or displacement of oxygen), but 'neurochemical'. I stand corrected. It can be fatal.

I will never cross a road again. Roads are addictive and dangerous :beer:

Why the waste? They have high voice already. UNLESS - you want to make the pitch so high as to get it out of the audible frequency range. Hmm - sounds like something I should patent.
