To get high you dont need drugs or gas. Just oxygen.
To do this you must breathe big and fast.
Risks:
You can hurt yourself becouse you lose your sanity and usualy fall down.
Effect:
You lose a part of your sanity an start to giggle(at least i do)
It last from a few seconds to a minute (or more)
depends on how long do you breathe.

Judging by this topic, I'd say you don't have much sanity to lose. :P

No it isn't. It's self-induced hyperventilation, which can cause headaches and fainting. It's a terrible, terrible idea to screw with chemical levels in the brain, especially when it's just for fun.

Well from the past 9 years of playing I have never felt the effects of being high. Even playing games like who can hold their breathe the longest, play the highest/loudest note etc. I have felt dizzy before, but nothing that I got any pleasure out of or would describe as the same as getting high.
Still I'll stay with my comment its bollocks, with what candall said, it mucks your brain up.

playing is 1 thing high is another. try it. (if you want to.)
do you play?
Arthur's way doesn't seem to work, so i'll just give you some ways to get high a.k.a. (maybe) get verigo from my own experience:
1) Just rotate yourself around your Y axis (the verical line), so everything around gets blurred. try to keep on rotating and staying at the same spot untill you fall. I enjoyed this very much back, when I was a kid, last week. NOTE: don't do that right after eating!
2)Don't sleep for about 24-36 hours, by spending time with your belove PC. You will start to have uncontrollable laughters at all the jokes, you see, and you will start getting many cool ideas on how to be creative. Also you will think that you are a genius.
3)Spend 24-36 hours not eating ANYTHING. You can drink water or something like that, not containing much nutrition. Same effect as previous one, but you will get more dizzy.
It's simply fun to be dizzy sometimes and I don't drink or smoke cannabis, so...

I get high by double-posting three times in a row ... oh wait, no I don't.
Seriously though? This is really lame. It gives this thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=33030) some meaning I hadn't previously given it.
Last time I checked...
AFAIK, hyperventilation is not really dangerous in and of itself (to a healthy person). You pass out before you hurt yourself. The dangers are secondary: When you pass out, you might fall down and hurt yourself.
Also... just to clear things up. I think the "high" you get from hyperventilation is not due to excess oxygen, but to lack of oxygen. So it's the same high you'd get if you hold your breath or something. Allow me to explain...
Breathing quicker results (for reasons I don't remember well enough to explain) in a lower concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. Now, the mechanisms that measure the level of oxygen in the blood (in order to control, for instance, breathing and vasodilation) actually measure the level of carbon dioxide: a lot of carbon dioxide tends, in normal circumstances, to mean little oxygen. This would cause you to breathe quicker or deeper, and cause your blood vessels to constrict, increasing your blood pressure. Little carbon dioxide is interpreted as a lot of oxygen: normally, this would slow your breathing down, but if you're consciously hyperventilating, that doesn't matter. It also causes your blood vessels to dilate, so your blood pressure decreases, and your brain gets less oxygen. And you get "high".
The fact that hyperventilation makes your body believe it has more oxygen than it has, is the reason why snorkelers can hyperventilate to hold their breath longer. Too much, and they'll be able to hold your breath long enough to pass out and drown, and that's another case of that secondary damage from hyperventilation...
First Pokemon, now drugs...
Come on arthur, you can do better. :D
Well some of the Pokemon designers must've *been* on drugs. Look at Oddish. He's cannabis with legs and a knobble.
I used to know that game; getting on your kees, inhale/exahale five times then jumping. According to a school legend we once had a kid who collapsed and came back 'round with serious brain damage.
I wish I could add something relevant to this thread, but I can't. And that gets me *down*.
This topic is dumb. Way to spur him on.
I don't think it's dumb at all in the sense, that perhaps he'll realise it's not very recommendable doing all that superbreathing. And at the same time those who don't know what hyperventilating does will now after reading this. I think I've seen a lot of threads more lame and stupid than this one, even though it is a bit silly. Also, you shouldn't get people's hopes up by telling them how to get high when in the end they dont :(
You could also try breathing in fart vapors to see if that could make you high. I'm not going to test that one though. ;)
I remember in middle school all the girls would do the sleep hold thing on each other. Apparently you have really short, trippy dreams.
I like the buzz I get from hookah. I guess breathing into a paper bag for a few minute would give you a similar high.
Why not just smoke or do some drugs instead? It's easier that way.

It's because drugs are for losers whose life is so boring, that they can find no other way to entertain themselves.I've changed my opinion. It's every persons personal choise to do or not to do drugs.

When I used to work night shifts I'd get sleepless over weekends and hallucinate. Kinda strange to have trees laughing at you without taking any drugs.
This thread makes me think of something I just started doing at night.
Has anyone ever astral projected themselves? It's supposed to be a "safe" fantastic experience that anybody can achieve with the proper techniques and practice. I've been practicing visualizing and getting my body to fall asleep while my mind stays lucid. So far, I haven't been able to disconnect myself but a few odd things happened to me that makes me a lot less skeptic but more frightened.
Am I nuts for even trying this? :P
I don't know if it's excatly the same, but I have been awake but unable to move the body sometimes, during the moments before/when I fall asleep. When it's happened, I've sometimes seen or - more often - heard persons/objects in my room or outside the window which aren't there. It hasn't been a joy. I cannot recommend this, I use lots of energy to get moving and wake up, and am exhausted afterwards. It's quite normal, or so I've heard, and a friend of mine linked it to astral projection.
Neil, that is called hynpagogic paralysis. You know it can't really be astral projection because you're still stuck in the body.
Neil Dnuma, sleep paralysis is the major cause of people believing in alien abductions. It makes me happy that you don't make this link! Though through the description of yourself and other people's experience, it sounds terrible and not something that is well known so the link is at least partly understandishable.
Astral Projection: There really is no such thing. Out of Body Experiences can be replicated in a lab setting and proper tests of astral projection have come up failures. If you really want to test it, have someone visiting your house take a playing card from a deck and place it face up on the tallest book shelf in your house, one you can't see from the ground. Do your best to astral project yourself up onto the ceiling and read the card. When you've done it come back down and see if you were right. If you were, do it a few more times, if you're right every time, exactly right, not like "I guessed 3 of hearts but it was the 4 of diamonds, same colour suit and 1 number off!" then you are on to something amazing and need to contact a third party.
Thanks for clearing this up, guys. I'll tell my friend.
Heh, I can see the alien part. I haven't seen any of those, but there have been deceased relatives and even a car next to my bed(!). It feels very real the moment it happens, so it's pretty bad. But it doesn't last long nor happen very often.
Let's copy-paste something I wrote long ago...
Quote
Hypnotized... well, kind of. I did it myself.
Try not to sleep for 52 hours!
Seeing a dream while being awake - just with some weird dream crossfaded onto what eyes really see?
And the dream is totally controllable, I could be superman with just at will?
Sitting down for 5 minutes, (I could swear it felt no more than 5 minutes!!!) and realizing that you've been sitting like this for 3 hours without moving?
Other similar time warps, a sort of bullet time?
Total sound slowdown! I can't explain or describe this. My ears just heard everything slowed down...
Instant amnesia periods, where you have no idea what happened few hours ago?
Etc...
Cool, but dangerous and painful. Don't try at home!
Well, about breathing, some of my friends tried it at 9th grade, breathing heavily so they'd pass out for short period of time.
I'd say this was quite idiotic. You can aswell punch yourself into nose and do it until blood loss is enough to faint. I've had nose problems due accident in childhood and lost over a litre of blood once. It just ran and didn't stop. Whole bathroom was red. Overbreathing effect is more or less the same - you feel weak and dizzy, everything feels surreal.
Stupid...
I have a silly question... can I surf the net while astral projecting?
Because that way I could confirm a number one of you guys chose for me, lol :D
Also, fun fact, way back in the day before the big "alien abduction" phenomena people believed they were demons visiting them and the description of what sleep paralysed people saw changed from that of demons to that of long grey beings with big eyes, popular social beliefs win again!
Nightfable, I think the more important question is, can you work on an AGS game while astral projecting?

What happens if you breathe less when you're sleeping?
You die.
Seriously though, eveyone breathes less when they're sleeping because they need less oxygen. Or do you mean compared to usually breathing while sleeping?
Btw. Did you know, that a hibernating hedgehog's heart beats only some 3 times per minute?
I mean less in general, does your astral projection get high?
Did you know that people born with the rare genetic disorder Morvan’s fibrillary chorea or Morvan's syndrome can go without sleep for several months at a time.
Think about the amount of more oxygen these people would get, would they get "high"?
Quote from: Indie Boy on Fri 30/11/2007 11:07:19

This has a nice medical name and is called "apnoia".
My son has big apnoia (a normal boy his age had desaturation 2 and my son had 69). It is caused from huge tinsils getting in the way of his throat. He just snores and chokes all night and his oxygen levels are low...
He will get a surgery on the 24th of January... :-\
And no, these people wouldn't get high. When you sleep the whole system pretty much shuts down and goes to stand by, so you don't need much oxygen. If, for example, you wake up at night and go to the loo, there are chances that you will feel dizzy and even faint (many people, including me, have fainted while peeing). This is simply because the heart is resting as well going into low beats per minute and can't handle the extra pressure that moving and peeing requires. If you are not sleep, heart does not rest and acts normally.
What a scientific post I just did! WOW me! :o

Oh and thank you Nikolas for that very interesting insight. At least some people on this forum can understand what I was meaning to say. And also could go about correcting me in a more suitable manner.
If some people have problems on how things are posted and what is posted then ban people, tell them off, make some more lovely rules. But basically I'm not here to be ridiculed, now you can't say I don't have a sense of humor or can't understand why some people are kind of mocked upon (I have even joined in). Just I have my own difficulties with language, I have trouble with the pronunciation, spelling and using words correctly. Also the fact that I'm only 17, so sorry I haven't got my masters degree in English yet.

I know exactly the feeling, I still struggle with my English; me being Canadian French and all. I talk in English all the time with my husband, it's improved greatly but I keep translating sayings from French to English wrong and it usually ends up having people confused and laugh at me.
For example,
French expression: "Je viens faire du lèche vitrine aujourd'hui."
My translation: "I did some window licking today."
Proper expression: "I did some window shopping/browsing today."
Or..
French expression: "Non mais, il a les deux doigts dans le nez!"
My translation: "This guy has two fingers up his nose!"
Proper expression: "This guy has his thumb up his ass!"
You get the point, lol!

I swear my cat gets high, she licks the sticky side of tape and also used to lick off old peeling varnish from one of my old chairs - she does it frantically like she's addicted to it. I always have to keep an eye open for that cat, she scares me... :o

Huh? My cat licks plastic shopping bags. Like crazy! I something wake up because of the noise. And I can't pull her away.
I wonder if there's scientific explanation to this.
Most cat's roll around in catnip, but mine just eats it. We had a bottle of catnip spray that was great fun, even though she's fairly old she'd beat up anything you sprayed it on. Then lick it. I've never seen a dog take drugs though
Haha, Nacho, do you want them? My cats drive me crazy all the time.
InCreator, my cat lick plastic bags too... WTF?!! There HAS to be an connection, lol!
There is a certain chemical in plastic bags that taste good to cats. My cat starts chomping on plastic bags whenever his food dish is empty.
It might be the same thing as why cats drink car antifreeze..but that is deadly.
It really annoys me when my 14 year old cat starts eating plastic bags when i am trying to sleep. The sound really bugs me and i have to yell at him.

Nah, that's just boring and eventually painful..
So, its eventually painful and can fuck up your liver. But, it can lead to hallucinatiopns and therefore you could get high.
So, why is it legal? Which is worse, mushrooms or nutmeg?
Well, no you most likely wouldn't get hallucinations, only feel high or stoned 3-5 hours after ingestion. And when you're done you're guaranteed a horrible horrible hangover... Quite boring actually.

Your lack of logical is amazing... ^_^ You go on saying "This is as worse as shrooms!, This is even more dangerous than shrooms!!! Why don' we legalise the shrooms???" In spite of saying "Why don' t we ilegalise things that are as dangerous as shrooms???" ;D
As dangerous as shrooms? Are they?
You can't OD on shrooms... You can on nutmeg! Shrooms are very rarely physically dangerous when eaten once, compared to nutmeg which you can die from if you eat too much...

Or you can do what the kids are doing these days! Take a dump in a jar or bottle, place a balloon or a condom around the top, put it in the sun or somewhere hot and wait for the gases to gather in the balloon!

Welcome. This is the internet. But nah, I would never do this even with the wildest and best hallucinations ever. It's just something desperate kids do when they can't get the real deal.

Very nice..
The guy in the last picture looks like he's got a straw...
That is because he's using the straw to inhale the gases without them passing through the mouth, probably to avoid the bad taste. Common sense.
How the hell you get a confidential report from Collier Contry Sheriff' s Office???
OMG like it's a whole new way to like astral project like!!1!
I'm gonna go crap in a jar now...
Shit, I have no balloons on me. I guess I'll have to wait....
God darn it! Shizer!
Haha, just kidding!! :P

Jenkem is disgusting. Why would anybody want to try that? Oh, just plain gross.
Might as well not flush your toilet for a month and shove your head into it.

My thought exactly! What will they come up with next? ::)
Go straight to the source and shove your head up someone's arse!
I find some of the wordings in that bulletin highly amusing for some reason.
"...strong hallucinations of times past." - how poetic.
"Several articles indicate that the subject immediately passes out after ingesting the gas then regains a magical/hallucinogenic state within seconds of regaining consciousness." - Scientists call this phenomenon "magic".
"All subjects who used the Jenkem disliked the taste of sewage in their mouth..." - NO SHIT.
I have a feeling that going #1 and #2 will become a crime, because we are creating a drug.
Will the police beat down your door while you are sitting on the bowl.
???
I have a strong suspicion that this "confidential bulletin" might have been intentionally released to see if teenagers, desperate to get high, might be tricked into inhaling the off-gassed unpleasantness of their own feces. Of course, there really is only one way to confirm this suspicion..... :=

Yeah, shit.
You know... somehow I could see that coming.
Who comes up with these names anyway? Jenkem? Leeroy Jenkings anyone? Could there be a connection? :o

Well, if you look at its nicknames, it's actually called "Leroy Jenkems" by some people. ;)
Well, guess what...

What we're seeing appears to be something as interesting as a specimen of urban legend so young that not even Wikipedia is sure about it yet. Rejoice in witnessing history unfolding! And remember, kids, don't trust your own internet research if you haven't a clue what you're doing. Especially if you work for a newspaper, television network or sheriff's office.
While the fact that it is 'spreading through schools in the USA' may be disputed, I don't see what is untrue about the actual existence of 'jenkem' as a 'drug' (and neither Wikipedia nor those two sources really seem to dispute that).
*This post does not endorse the use of jenkem.
Quote from: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_jenkem.htm
The "Jenkem" entry actually goes on to attribute the drug's alleged popularity in the United States to -- and I quote -- "the success of 'Chocolate Rain' [last summer's runaway YouTube hit by Internet phenom Tay Zonday] whose lyrics implicitly refer to the practice and social effects of Jenkem abuse."
According to Zonday, the song is about racism.
Bet he's thrilled.
The allegation of usage in the USA isn't "disputed", it's as false as it could be, in that there is no evidence at all of it. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) So it's kind of like how bigfoot could exist, but no indications of its existence have been observed, so why would it.
Regarding use in Zambia... Yeah. At first sight it appeared to me that the only evidence was anecdotal evidence in a couple of newspaper articles, and this is not what I would call compelling. Not compelling doesn't mean untrue, but it does mean that I don't necessarily see a reason to just assume truth. Looking closer, it does seem somewhat more compelling than I initially thought (no details, I assume nobody cares). So yeah. This seems to be happening to some extent in Zambia.
Buy a ladder.
I was about 8 when one of my friends did this crazy breathing til you trip out thing. And he lost conciousness and hit his head on the counter. OUCH! But saying that, a week later he was put in a washing machine lol!!!! destined for mishaps I do believe..!
Would never try it myself though, I prefer weed.

I suggest that you try it out to find out the true-ness of this whole jenkem business.
Also film the act of you inhaling it and post it on youtube, thanks.
I am, to be honest, really curious as to how exactly it works (and that's something that would need to be tested, AFAIK--scientifically, that is...). Newspaper articles about the use in Zambia speculate that it's the methane--which would make sense, since the bulk of the gas probably is methane, if it weren't that methane doesn't cause this stuff. AFAIK methane is inactive in this sense: the only thing that could happen if you huff methane is that you get less oxygen, so if methane is all there is to it it's not really better than huffing stale air (or holding your breath or hyperventilating). And that would not explain the allegedly powerful hallucinations. This is what makes me skeptical regarding the entire phenomenon. I'd be curious about what people who actually know stuff would conjecture regarding how it could work...
