Dallas Bragg breaks down whether poppers use signals relapse or poses real danger. He offers a checklist: watch for triggers to harder drugs, physical side effects like headaches and heart issues, and sexual dependence. Heavy repeated use has caused deaths, but occasional use without these warning signs may be manageable.
Well, y'all keep asking me about poppers. Here are my thoughts. First of all, you are never going to hear me say anything is bad or good that you do. There is context to everything. First of all, if you do poppers, that does not automatically mean you relapsed. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. The question is, do poppers negatively affect my life? Do poppers trigger me to use crystal meth or any other hard drug? Am I overusing poppers? Are they giving me headaches? Are they giving me skin rashes? Are they affecting my heartbeat? Am I having seizures because I'm using so many poppers? Do I have to have poppers to have sex? If the answer is yes to any of those questions, don't use poppers. If the answer is no to those questions, use poppers. Poppers are fatal according to the FDA, and apparently they've caused some deaths. These are people who use them over and over and over in large amounts. Popper it up if it's not causing you to relapse.
