No drugs (aside from prescription), rarely drink, do nitrous once in a while, haven't looked for trade in two years. Sleep all day. Go to school and hate it. Blah blah blah.
Nitrous, as in laughing gas? Where does one acquire that outside the dentist's office?
Any head shop, pretty much. They are known as whip-its, since it's used for whipped cream cans. There is also an actual brand called whip-its, but I personally like iSi, since it's supposed to be more potent. They are small individual canisters, and there are about 20 to a box.
You buy what is known as a "cracker", which cracks the canister open when you twist it, and it empties into a balloon. Then you put the balloon to your mouth and suck it all down. It's also essential that you wear some kind of ski glove when you "crack" it, because it's very cold and can make your skin stick to the cracker. You can get the balloons at the head shop, since you need one of those special heavy duty ones. Regular ones will simply break. Normally the guy at the shop will throw a couple in for free.
My friend and I normally do double shots. They are also really good as a bong hit chaser.
It's a quick rush, but great for listening to music. Take a hit, zone out, take another hit after a few minutes, etc.
The tanks can be dangerous, because it's difficult to moderate, as ZenAgent stated. At least with the canisters, you can gauge how much you are getting at one time.
I don't do it too often. I have only a few brain cells left as it is.
As for control, the laws are ass-backwards. It is legal to sell it, but illegal to own it, if you are planning to abuse it. So if a cop finds you with a box of whip-its, several balloons, and a cracker, they might have a case, but it's otherwise very hard to prove.
"What are you doing with six cases of nitrous?"
"Uhmmm. We're making a very big cake?"
That's what you get
When there's no time on the meter
You get an empty case of whip-its
