laughing gas / Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is not a harmless recreational drug no matter how it is administered. However, inhaling the gas directly from the canister presents two hazards that the balloon method does not. Firstly, inability to control the speed at which the inhalant leaves the canister could result in trauma to the respiratory system if it rushes into the lungs too rapidly, or frostbite since pressurized gas can be extremely cold. Secondly, if the canister is used along with a mask (which permits for better control of the pressurization), users run the risk of passing out from lack of oxygen with the mask still attached to their face, leading to suffocation.

At raves and parties, I see people sucking on balloons. I hear it's laughing gas or nitrous oxide. So I was wondering if you suck it out of a balloon if it is safer than straight out of the cylinder? And will it get you high without harming you or killing brain cells?

Uma possibilidade.
O popular gás de buzina, muito vendido no Carnaval, e o hélio também são inalados por jovens como droga alternativa aos entorpecentes.
Em alguns festivais de rock foram distribuídos balões de gás, que na verdade continham óxido nitroso.
Há relato de indivíduos que inalam regularmente o óxido nitroso, como droga de abuso preferida.
