What do you think we did with nitrous?!

Those days are long gone along with a great number of other inebriating items. These days, cannabis and a G&T are just fine!

I worked in an analytical chemistry lab and we had a large cylinder in the storeroom that was used mainly by technicians to help them pass the day. A form of self-medication.

I don't think I'd have approved if I ran that lab!
We had nitrous in our analytical lab, too. Was the oxidizer for the acetylene used on the atomic absorption instrument. We quit using it in favor of ICP-MS.
The nitrous cylinder was probably there when I retired & I went to a different division 19 years before I retired!

She was fairly oblivious to what went on in the lab. I should say that this only lasted as long as the cylinder. You're right- it was a safety and industrial hygiene problem.

...and I trusted them, but nothing happened in that lab I didn't know about. And, I spent 75% of my time in the process development labs & pilot areas.
Oblivious is right!

If I'm going to 'go to the Bahamas', I want to see things I've never seen before. (That's why I'd be willing to give DMT a shot.)

I visited my ailing friend for a week. I forgot how exhausting it is to be the support for a person who isn't well :/
