Lately I've been fine but after reading the news of a boy who accidentally died after inhaling this gas I'm getting the idea to study a method with it and then keep it in the drawer, the idea of dying laughing is truly epic, what do you think?

It is possible to CTB by laughing gas, but it would be have to be continuously delivered (mask or hood) as it very very short acting. Not sure how long it would take to get you where you want to go but it does feel great! 🌹💔

I'm thinking of combining the use of this gas recreationally with the time the SN is in effect to make death as euphoric as possible, does this sound like a good idea?

Nitrogen is definitely a trusted method if done properly. It's mentioned in the PPH as well.

I ordered everything I need from Amazon, I won't use it for CTB but I want to see what effect it has on me, if it has a good effect I could use it with the SN method while I wait to lose consciousness, at least I'll die laughing.

I been considering using laughing gas, combined with drowning

I heard after inhaling the gas, it will make you less aware of whats going on for about 1 minute? And then even after the minute is over, I think it still takes a little while (30 seconds?) before you are fully back to normal

So the plan is to inhale the gas, then jump in the river, and hopefully by the time the gas starts to fade, I would of already drowned and became unconscious

But I'm no expert in this. I'm still researching as we speak, so I might not be 100% accurate. But thats the basic idea

Laughing gas is also called N20, right??

If anyone is more knowledgeable about this, please add your input. Thanks

I recommend reading this literature:

I advise you to try N2O on balloons. First, you need to remove a large amount of oxygen from your lungs. Once you do this, inhale the gas and then hold your breath, the main thing is not to inhale the oxygen. Be sure to lie on your side so that your tongue does not sink in.

My method was to use an air cushion, but I was wrong and the cushion is not suitable for this role at all. Now I have another idea, I am working on the technical part of it. That is, connecting the mask and the bag. As an option, you can use Creamer, cylinders, a bag, electrical tape. The principle of operation is as follows: Fill the bag with gas depending on what kind of bag, of course, the more the better. Then put it on your head, and wrap the bag around your neck with electrical tape. If you do everything right, it should work. I have not finished my version of the mask and bag yet, I need to think about how to implement it technically.

There is another problem: if the ambient temperature is high, the gas inside the bag will expand, so you should leave some space in the bag. Then this should not be a problem. When you see that the bag has inflated enough, you simply release the siphon lever, and the gas will stop coming out.

Correct me if anything @Intoxicated
As an option I see 3 possible options. I am currently working on 3

Thanks for the information

What did you mean by lie on your side, "so that your tongue does not sink in" ???

Also, do you have experience with inhaling this gas? It's the same thing as N20, right?

If you tried it before, please share what it feels like, what to expect.

And what are your thoughts or suggestions, if want to combine this with drowning?

"so that your tongue does not sink in" = to avoid the risk of being suffocated if your tongue blocks your throat while you're unconscious. also, google translate didn't get the method quite right - "Kremer" is the whipped cream siphon you use with N2O recharges that usually come with the package.

If you lose consciousness due to falling on your back, it may happen that your tongue falls into the back of your throat and you may choke. Therefore, it is recommended to lie on your side. Yes, I tried N2O with cylinders. The first time I inhaled the gas, I forgot that oxygen is not allowed to be inhaled, so I did not really feel anything. The second time I did everything correctly, it felt like a broken mirror, everything was swimming in front of my eyes, a slight noise in my ears, my heart was beating hard, and there were strange sensations in my hands. But I did not pass out, because I could not hold my breath for long. The third time I inhaled 2 cylinders of N2O, and after that I passed out without even noticing it. The most important thing is to get rid of the oxygen in your lungs, then you will quickly lose consciousness. As for drowning, I do not know how you could combine them. Unless you inhale a large amount, and then fall into the water.

Thanks for the details. Appreciated!!!

Let's say we use your THIRD time's experience as example. You were able to pass out without noticing.

How long did it last for, until you regain consciousness again? Or was able to think clearly / feel physical pain again??

I think average time to lose consciousness in drowning is 2 minutes. Based on your experience, even just a quick guess, how many of those 2 minutes will be in passed out / un-aware state? (at least less likely to feel pain or discomfort)

To be honest I don't know how long I was unconscious, maybe 1 minute. I think it depends on the volume of inhaled gas and the physiology of the person who inhales. All people are different, so it will be different for everyone.

There is another problem: if the ambient temperature is high, the gas inside the bag will expand, so you should leave some space in the bag. Then this should not be a problem.
No matter what the temperature of ambient air is, the gas released from a cream dispenser is always colder than ambient air, the airways, and the lungs, which will heat N2O, causing its expansion.
When you see that the bag has inflated enough, you simply release the siphon lever, and the gas will stop coming out.
In case of using just a bag over head, it's better to prefill it with the N2O gas up to the full capacity and then remove some part of gas right before sealing around the neck. This method should reduce the amount of air entered the bag and remained there (without displacing it back to ambient atmosphere) to bare minimum.
If you lose consciousness due to falling on your back, it may happen that your tongue falls into the back of your throat and you may choke.
Falling on the back is not a necessary condition for choking by the tongue.

When a person falls unconscious, the muscles relax, including the tongue. If a person is lying on their back, the relaxed tongue can block the throat and partially or completely obstruct their breathing.


So the plan is to inhale the gas, then jump in the river, and hopefully by the time the gas starts to fade, I would of already drowned and became unconscious

The main cause of loss of consciousness from inhaling N2O at high concentrations is displacing oxygen from the lungs, that produces rapid drop in blood oxygen saturation level, which in turn results in hypoxia, leading to blackout. In order to regain consciousness, you'd have to oxygenize your blood by inhaling oxygen at a sufficient concentration (that normally happens if you stop breathing N2O and/or holding your breath while lying on a bed). When you're submerged in water, you don't have access to breathable oxygen and regaining consciousness is unlikely.
Might order some just to test it out while I'm on my bed or something
Testing would be quite useful for determining the right moment of jumping into water. Usually you don't feel anything special during a few seconds after inhaling N2O. Then there is a short period of clouding of consciousness that eventually leads to complete blackout.

Glad to hear your input. You seem very intelligent and knowledgeable

So technically, if I inhaled N20 right beside the water (lets say a river). I will first position myself where I will easily fall in, after losing consciousness, before the inhaling starts

Was curious, if I were to pass out and fall in the water, will that impact of my whole body or face hitting the water and suddenly becoming submerged in the water, somehow create a shocking effect, and instead wake me up?? Similar to if I pass out, but someone slaps my face very hard, or pours a bucket of water right onto my face.

Or is that not possible??

And interesting... I never thought of it that way. So once inside the water, due to no new oxygen available, I should simply remain unconsciousness, and at that point peacefully drown, completely unaware of whats happening? How certain / confident you think this will be the result? Is it like 100% sure? 80% ? 50% ?

Thanks!

Oh, one more question @Intoxicated

So when a person becomes unconscious after inhaling N20, basically it is not much difference than fainting, correct?

In that case, while a person is fainted, I believe he/ she is still breathing, such as the body is still naturally inhaling and exhaling?

If so, while I am unconscious under water, although there is no new oxygen, will my body still naturally be trying to inhale and exhale anyways? If so, will the discomfort from inhaling water, naturally wake me up somehow??

Sorry if some of these are dumb questions. Thanks

So, I have the siphon, the cylinders and the balloons, obviously also a plastic bag and scarf to keep it tied around my neck, what I fear is that the 7 cylinders that I have left are not enough to fill the whole bag with gas and that there would be enough oxygen and so the body breathing would produce carbon dioxide giving a feeling of suffocation. I tried the N2O but only for recreational purposes, so I did not try to stop the oxygen breathing but I breathed a bit of both, it worked a bit in improving the mood but here we are talking about use for other purposes so better not to dwell on this, it also made me nauseous afterwards but if one uses it for CTB this will certainly not be a problem.

I'm a little worried about this method not working because last year I tried something similar with helium but apparently it's because the helium tanks for balloons don't contain pure helium but a mixture of 50% helium and 50% oxygen and so it didn't work, another alternative could be to suffocate with carbon dioxide but it's annoying.

Anyway, in my opinion the tongue thing is not a problem, that is, if you have already lost consciousness I don't think something like that can wake you up.

i can't say much on the amount of gas to fill the bag you have as that would require measurements, but isn't the point of N2O exit bag to lose consciousness and then suffocate from CO2? correct me if i'm wrong but it shouldn't be possible to regain consciousness that was lost due to hypoxia if there isn't enough oxygen in your environment, so you shouldn't be able to perceive pain or discomfort while suffocating

also, from user reports, it seems like 1-2 N2O cartridges was enough to pass out. not that i think you should go that low, but its apparently enough for most people

Do you think this applies the same for drowning? If I put myself in a position to easily fall into the water after passing out.

Then I inhale the N20, pass out, fall into water (river), and just peacefully drown without waking up or feeling anything at all??

I heard it takes around 2 minutes to drown

if you manage to ensure your head will stay in the water after passing out, you will very likely drown without noticing much as a couple of reflexive "water breaths" will be enough for your lungs to stop taking in oxygen which is the only condition for the person to wake up.

Falling into water after losing control over your body (which commonly happens shortly before loss of consciousness) doesn't look like a good idea for me, because you lose control over your respirations too and some amount of air can be accidentally inhaled then, worsening the progress of anesthesia. I think, it would be better if submerging happened while holding breath with the lungs filled with N2O.
Was curious, if I were to pass out and fall in the water, will that impact of my whole body or face hitting the water and suddenly becoming submerged in the water, somehow create a shocking effect, and instead wake me up?? Similar to if I pass out, but someone slaps my face very hard, or pours a bucket of water right onto my face.

I doubt that you can wake up without a sufficient oxygen delivery to the brain. Theoretically, hypoxia may cause dilation of the cerebral blood vessels, and maybe there is a possibility that brain could better obtain oxygen from blood with low oxygen saturation then. This is the only mechanism I know that could reverse the hypoxic effect to some degree.

As far as I understand, hypoxic unconsciousness works as general anesthesia rather than normal sleep. The commonly accepted classification describes 4 stages of anesthesia

Stage 1 - Induction (Analgesia or Disorientation)
Stage 2 - Excitement or Delirium
Stage 3 – Surgical Anesthesia
Stage 4 - Overdose


F. Hewitt described a similar classification in his book about anesthesia

1. Stage of analgesia
2. Stage of light anaesthesia
3. Stage of deep anaesthesia or narcosis
4. Stage of bulbar paralysis

see pages 52 - 56, 243 - 247, 278 - 280.

Stage 2 corresponds to early unconsciousness. In this stage, your body can vigorously react to painful stimuli due to working reflexes, but your awareness of pain is very limited and you can't be really woken by disturbance.

Stages 3 and 4 are perfect for CTB, because your sensitivity to stimuli is completely lost, but I guess, it would take 2 - 3 minutes to reach the 3rd stage after the very limited administration of N2O you can realistically carry out before submerging in water. Once you stop breathing with N2O, the concentration of O2 in the lungs will grow, as oxygen will be released from the blood through the alveoli. Therefore, the rate at which the blood will lose oxygen will decrease in relation to the initial phase when N2O nearly completely displaces O2 from the lungs.
So once inside the water, due to no new oxygen available, I should simply remain unconsciousness, and at that point peacefully drown, completely unaware of whats happening? How certain / confident you think this will be the result?
I wouldn't guarantee complete unawareness, since you probably start to inhale water while your unconsciousness is still shallow, but it's probably noticeably better than experiencing drowning being in full consciousness. I think, the best tactics would be making 3 maximally deep inhales of N2O (it's likely that you won't be able to carry out more than that because of fainting) and hoping for the best. If you're too anxious about the procedure, this may worsen your feelings later in the process of CTB.
In that case, while a person is fainted, I believe he/ she is still breathing, such as the body is still naturally inhaling and exhaling?

If so, while I am unconscious under water, although there is no new oxygen, will my body still naturally be trying to inhale and exhale anyways?
Yes, your respirations will likely start even before you lose consciousness completely. There are high chances of laryngospasm occurring at this stage, because your airways become especially sensitive to stimuli. Then inhaling of water may be suspended till relaxation of the corresponding muscles happens (probably upon reaching the 3rd stage of anesthesia).
If so, will the discomfort from inhaling water, naturally wake me up somehow??
You probably can have a bad dream about drowning, but waking up is unlikely, in my opinion.
So, I have the siphon, the cylinders and the balloons, obviously also a plastic bag and scarf to keep it tied around my neck, what I fear is that the 7 cylinders that I have left are not enough to fill the whole bag with gas
7 x 8g chargers contain the amount of gas that would expand to approximately 30 liters of N2O at room temperature.
and that there would be enough oxygen and so the body breathing would produce carbon dioxide giving a feeling of suffocation.
N2O is known to suppress feelings of suffocation, there are researches about this effect (you can find them if you inspect the links above kindly provided by other user).
it also made me nauseous afterwards
You're the first person who reported nausea from N2O here. How much did you inhale and for how long? By the way, you'd likely experience similar nausea from sodium nitrite poisoning (which you consider as an alternative method) as well, because it induces hypoxia for a long period of time before LOC, that you can't shorten much, in contrast to the case of gas asphyxiation which can produce LOC in less than a minute and the stage of surgical anesthesia in 1 - 3 minutes.
Anyway, in my opinion the tongue thing is not a problem, that is, if you have already lost consciousness I don't think something like that can wake you up.
The nuance with tongue was mentioned as a safety precaution for testing the effects of N2O before the actual CTB procedure (in case if you don't want to die while testing the gas).

The nausea happened a little later, I would say half an hour after using it so it's not a problem if I use it for CTB because I will have already lost awareness while with SN I would have it.

1. Stage of analgesia
2. Stage of light anaesthesia
3. Stage of deep anaesthesia or narcosis
4. Stage of bulbar paralysis

see pages 52 - 56, 243 - 247, 278 - 280.

Stage 2 corresponds to early unconsciousness. In this stage, your body can vigorously react to painful stimuli due to working reflexes, but your awareness of pain is very limited and you can't be really woken by disturbance.

Stages 3 and 4 are perfect for CTB, because your sensitivity to stimuli is completely lost, but I guess, it would take 2 - 3 minutes to reach the 3rd stage after the very limited administration of N2O you can realistically carry out before submerging in water. Once you stop breathing with N2O, the concentration of O2 in the lungs will grow, as oxygen will be released from the blood through the alveoli. Therefore, the rate at which the blood will lose oxygen will decrease in relation to the initial phase when N2O nearly completely displaces O2 from the lungs.

I wouldn't guarantee complete unawareness, since you probably start to inhale water while your unconsciousness is still shallow, but it's probably noticeably better than experiencing drowning being in full consciousness. I think, the best tactics would be making 3 maximally deep inhales of N2O (it's likely that you won't be able to carry out more than that because of fainting) and hoping for the best. If you're too anxious about the procedure, this may worsen your feelings later in the process of CTB.

Yes, your respirations will likely start even before you lose consciousness completely. There are high chances of laryngospasm occurring at this stage, because your airways become especially sensitive to stimuli. Then inhaling of water may be suspended till relaxation of the corresponding muscles happens (probably upon reaching the 3rd stage of anesthesia).

You probably can have a bad dream about drowning, but waking up is unlikely, in my opinion.

7 x 8g chargers contain the amount of gas that would expand to approximately 30 liters of N2O at room temperature.

N2O is known to suppress feelings of suffocation, there are researches about this effect (you can find them if you inspect the links above kindly provided by other user).

You're the first person who reported nausea from N2O here. How much did you inhale and for how long? By the way, you'd likely experience similar nausea from sodium nitrite poisoning (which you consider as an alternative method) as well, because it induces hypoxia for a long period of time before LOC, that you can't shorten much, in contrast to the case of gas asphyxiation which can produce LOC in less than a minute and the stage of surgical anesthesia in 1 - 3 minutes.

The nuance with tongue was mentioned as a safety precaution for testing the effects of N2O before the actual CTB procedure (in case if you don't want to die while testing the gas).
Thanks so much for detailed explanation. Appreciated!!!

I am planning to order some from Amazon soon

If I were to practice multiple times, to try to get it right. Will this cause any concern for health damages?

Is there certain limit recommendations, for how many times to try it per hour, or per day, to prevent potential damage?

For example, if I tried it a few times within 1 hour, or few times in a single day, is that safe?

If this was repeated a few days in a row, is it safe as well?

Or should there be certain breaks in-between?

And is it ok to get drunk before doing it? (In case want to, on day of CTB, before the inhaling starts)

Just want to get a better idea before I start practicing and testing it. Don't want to risk having to visit hospital or doctor due to unexpected problems

Thanks again
