Is B12 the main risk with nitrous?

I suppose the wealthy aren't doing it, so why not tread on those dirty poors a bit harder - it can't be a health issue if we make it a criminal one, eh gents?

nitrous inhibits b12 production, so if you use a shitton in one sitting then take a few weeks break youll be fine just supplement b12

but if u use a little bit periodically over a couple days that could start to degrade your nerves permanently due to lack of b12.

but you cant produce less than zero and any nitrous puts you at zero so if youre gonna use it do big one night binges then take a month off and supplement b12 for a bit. in this case its theoretically pretty harmless.

edit b12 coats and protects ur nerves or smth

I thought the big risk for nitrous was oxygen deprivation.

u could if ur being dumb but u can get the same oxygen deprivation by holding your breath

suffocating to death via nitrous oxide would just be less painful. not that i condone it but that is how suicide pods tend to work kinda

edit: never attach anything to anywhere that air goes into. coz nos makes u pass out sometimes. so ive heard ofc

Pretty sure the worst risk is brain lesions.
