    The fuck do you guys give at the dentists there?

    Lidocaine is a local anesthetic and laughing gas wears off in a matter of minutes.

    I’m not judging, I’d just like some as well.

        It’s a perfectly common anesthetic.

        It’s just that Jackson was taking it to get to sleep every night. Usually people don’t get put under that often.

        I’ve had it a bunch of times and I wish going to bed was that easy, it’s essentially an off button for the brain, but I would never take out for insomnia even I could get my hands on some. The rare times I get out under are enough and on that level it’s perfectly safe.

        It’s the difference between smoking crack all day everyday vs every few years doing a line or two of coke.

        So there’s alway an anaesthetist at the dentists? O.o

      This looks like laughing gas or ketamine. In some folks it can cause dissociation for a while after

        It is not laughing gas.

        I can tell you that for a fact. Not unless he took several massive hits 10 second before this.

        There are after effects, but it’s more a very mild relaxation, not “I don’t know where I am.”

        Andrew I’ve done tens if not hundred of kilograms of it, and seen hundred of other people taking it.

        Ketamine would fit the bill.

      Not sure what it was for this kid, but I got general anaesthesia when I had my wisdom teeth removed, and that’s true for most people I know. You’re pretty loopy for a while afterwards.

        I’ve been put under more times than I can count.

        Without an actual anaesthetist there, it’d have to be light anaesthesia, so it can’t be propofol. Maybe ketamine?

            Oh alright, that’s good to know.

            People can’t be arsed here and it’s usually just a lidocaine shot and they don’t even wait for it to fully kick in more often than not.
