any thing richer than 80% nitrous that is inhaled will cause blacking out, and possible brain cell asphyxiation if exposure is prolonged. inhalation of a more oxygen rich mixture can still produce an intoxicating effect, but without damaging the brain or body in any way.
nitrous sends you flying to other planets in a differnt dimension made of nothing. your senses are left behind as you fly through the unconcious and return to the insane soap opera absurdness that is modern life.

Get the nitrous cracker mug.Nitrogen dioxide, or NO2, is a brown, highly toxic gas that can be produced by the oxidation of nitrogen (for example, combustion reactions produce NO2 and other oxides of nitrogen, as some of the oxygen reacts with nitrogen in the air) and the reaction of concentrated nitric acid with some metals (examples include copper, silver, and magnesium).
Even in extremely low concentrations, the slightest whiff of NO2 will have the same effect on your nasal cavity that Drano has on a clogged sink. Its odor doesn't have a 'flavor' to it, per se, but rather exists as a sharp burning sensation akin to the feeling of having a mixture of wasabi and fire ants shoved up one's nose.
Nitrogen dioxide is not to be confused with nitrous oxide, which is more commonly known as laughing gas, and has the formula N2O. Confusing one for the other can often result in fatal consequences.
