Ep. 105: Whippit Awareness Month (WAM)

You know how we feel about drugs: save ‘em until you’re older. But there are some drugs to avoid no matter your age, and sneaking to the top of the list is an innocent-sounding inhalant that’s leaving a wake of nerve damage and uneaten whipped cream in its path.    This episode Grace is following up on her promise to spread the bad word about whippits, aka nitrous oxide. She’s breaking down what they are, why they’re becoming a growing problem, the many potential cognitive and physical side effects, and tips for staying safe.    Plus, we’re chatting about the accuracy of astrology, sharing healthy alternatives to getting high, debating what is and isn’t a bipedal animal, and imitating a bird call reminiscent of a stressed nana (at least according to our interpretation).  Resources Nitrous Oxide Abuse: Side Effects & Treatment for Whippets The Dangers of Whippets: What Are They?
