Short-term moderate use of nitrous oxide (from balloons not canisters) or poppers can be safe. However, other volatile solvents, are extremely toxic and can result in sudden death.
Unlike other substances, there is no such thing as safe recreational use of volatile solvents without medical use (street inhalants)—their psychoactive effects are inseparable from nerve and organ damage. Additionally, aerosol spray dispensers can cause aerosol burn and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). We strongly discourage you from taking any amount of these substances, even for minor experimentation purposes. Avoid them at all costs. Please see this section for more details.
