    Honestly, dusting (the getting high kind). I wanted to try it because some of my other friends had tried it. No one really took it seriously, but we were all curious. Some of them had done it before and told me that it's just a really quick high. We were using whippets which are those little canisters of nitrous oxide in those whipped cream cans. I huffed it up real quick, then ended up having these really intense muscle spasms, I guess kind of like a seizure? I blacked out and woke up a few seconds later on the floor with my friends around me. Never again. I'm sure I did it wrong, or something but holy shit did that scare me.

    EDITED for clarity ;D

      Two sentences in before I figured out you weren't talking about housework. I, too, tried it once, but you know what? The dust just builds back up again... it's like it's drifting around in the air or something. Weird.

      But, seriously, yeah, I'm glad you're OK. Don't do drugs, stay in school, etc.

        Actual dusting really is atrocious. Kidding.. I like it. It's relaxing and I have a lot of black furniture so seeing dust sitting on that shit means it's cleaning time. Which ends up being every other day apparently.

      I have a similar experience, but with Tylenol Cold. For some reason, sixteen year old me allowed myself to be convinced that taking a blister package worth of a 12 hour could treatment would be an amazing experience. I had the worst case of vertigo. I was lying on the ground terrified I was going to fall up into the trees. I crawled to my truck so I could strap myself into the seatbelt and stayed for half the day.

      Damn. I've done whippits plenty of times and with plenty of people and I've never seen someone react badly. Also I'm pretty sure dusting means smoking PCP with your weed. Even if it means abusing those duster cans as an inhalant, that's totally different from whippits. Whippits are just nitrous oxide so they don't cause brain damage, unlike pretty much every other inhalant, most which are a hydrocarbon of some kind. As long as you don't hold them in so long that you become oxygen deprived they're pretty safe. Not that I'd recommend them, they're expensive and not that much fun anyway.
