I once asked my dentist why I’d never heard of NO being used as a party drug, since it does give you a drunk-like high. He said that it is sometimes used as a party drug. He also said that there were quite a number of dentists who used it a lot when they weren’t working until they started to notice MS type symptoms. According to my dentist, overuse of NO can cause demyelination of the nerves, which causes paralysis. Yikes!
