      Its not even a good high. Im a big baby at the dentist and need to be gassed up for anything more than a routine cleaning. The experience is similar to when youve been sitting down for a while and then stand up too quick and get all dizzy with tunnel vision. Also it wears off like 5 minutes after they stop administering it.

        Fucking lol, you’re not doing it right then. It’s a great party drug for a reason. Millions of people do this shit recreationally because of how great a high it is

          Different people react in different ways to all kinds of things. It’s possible they are doing it right (whatever that might mean), but it has limited effect on them.

          Case in point, there’s at least one numbing agent that wasn’t quite enough for me at the dentist when I needed some deep-ish work doing. Two doses of the regular stuff didn’t do the trick for the tooth in question - despite the fact I was drooling all over the place and probably looked like I was having a stroke - so they had to dig out a scary looking syringe and some nasty tasting stuff.

          I also had gas once as a kid and I don’t remember any high from it, but then does anyone get a high from the knock-out dosage a dentist gives?
