      This thread has some disinformation. In particular, whippits are nitrous oxide, which is commonly used by dentists as a mild anesthesia. It’s mostly safe and biggest risk is hypoxia if done in a place with poor ventilation or via a method that doesn’t stop if you pass out.

      It’s very different from the aerosol inhalant abuse like the walking on sunshine lady video linked here.

      You think that’s wild? A related addiction class is huffing aerosols. Now go look up “I’m walking on sunshine lady” and wow did she burn out her brain.
