Recreational use of nitrous oxide : ウィキペディア英語版 | Recreational use of nitrous oxide
Recreational use of nitrous oxide is the inhalation of nitrous oxide gas for its euphoriant effects. ==Inhalation of nitrous oxide== Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a dissociative inhalant that can cause analgesia, euphoria, dizziness, flanging of sound, and, in some cases, slight hallucinations and mild aphrodisiac effect. During the 19th century, William James and many contemporaries found that inhalation of nitrous oxide resulted in a powerful spiritual and mystical experience for the user. James claimed to experience the fusing of dichotomies into a unity and a revelation of ultimate truth during the inhalation of nitrous oxide. Memory of this experience, however, quickly faded and any attempt to communicate was difficult at best. James described a man who, when under the influence of the gas, claimed to know the secret of the universe. The drug currently enjoys moderate popularity in some countries. It was often sold at Grateful Dead and Phish concerts. One slang term for the drug is Hippie Crack; this term implies commentary on the typical user of the substances as well as purported similarities between its psychological addiction potential or the short-lived duration of its effects and similar properties of "crack" cocaine.
