This article is accurate. Anyone reading this who is trying to stop and can't, as a recovering nitrous addict (see back comments) I'm willing to talk you through it. Email in profile. Good luck.
I've found the effects enjoyable and kind of impressive (what does it do to sound?) but tinged with paranoia about brain damage from breathing non-oxygen for a long time. I didn't realize it was addictive.
I didn't realize it was addictive either when I read about philosopher William James experiments with it and decided to try it myself. Maybe I have ocd in this particular case and it is fine for other people, but I couldn't stop.
