At raves and parties, I see people sucking on balloons. I hear it is laughing gas or nitrous oxide, so i was wondering if you suck it out of balloons if it is safer than straight out of the cylinder? And will it get u high without harming u or killing brain cells?

I only recall one reference I read some time ago that nitrous oxide is too cold to use right out of the cylinder. That is why it is put in balloons first to warm up first before exposing your mouth, throat, and lungs to the chemical. That won't stop it from killing brain cells though (or at least it kills rat brain cells with prolonged exposure.)
