::Poppers
(amyl nitrate, butyl nitrate, isobutyl
nitrate, TNT, liquid gold, rush etc.)
Amyl/butyl nitrate (poppers) is a
powerful drug that can give you an almighty burst of dizzy energy for a
couple of minutes.
The rush kicks in
immediately, and for a few moments you'll feel like the bass drum has
got inside your head, the lights have been turned up to a zillion watts
and your heart is attempting a solo flight.
Generally coming in small glass bottles - or, more rarely, glass phials,
amyl nitrate is normally snorted out of the open bottle, although some
people like to get adventurous by inhaling a cigarette that has been
dipped into the liquid (do not light the cigarette!
Amyl nitrate is is a highly volatile flammable liquid!)
First produced in 1857 as a treatment for angina, amyl nitrate
evaporates at room temperature. The vapour released causes your veins
and arteries to dilate resulting in the blood flowing faster through the
heart and the brain.
On the dancefloor it feels like you've been hit by a percussive
thunderbolt, and if you're having sex it feels like your sexual organs
have grown to Herculean proportions. The effect only lasts for a few
moments and you might feel a little light headed for a minute or so
afterwards.
Some people react differently to amyl and suffer pounding headaches,
dizziness and a flushed face, or feel like they're starring in
'Scanners'.
Side effects:
Amyl can deliver the
mother, father and immediate family of headaches. Never take amyl at
work or at any place where there is a chance of physical danger - for
the few moments that it kicks in you may well not be in control of your
actions. If you're having a bit of a session and finding that it's
becoming less effective, take a break from it.
If you're snorting poppers while having sex, there's a chance that the
heady, sex-beast rush may make you lead you to risky sex - so slap on a
condom before you break out
the amyl.
Try not to take it with other stimulants (coke, speed, E etc.) as it
could put too much strain on your heart. The liquid is also highly
inflammable so be careful with your spliff!
