so wtf are poppers?

poppers = whippets?

poppers/rush = Amyl Nirate

whippets/gas/NOS = Nitrous Oxide


....


No officer, why do you ask?

Is it Amyl Nitrate or Amyl Nitrite ?

Amyl nitrite. Releases NO in the blood, which causes vasodilation I believe.

Edit: My bad, appears nitrate is the popper, although nitrite has similar effects.

From Hannibal -

Hannibal Lecter: Mason, would you like a popper?

- some time later

Mason Verger: The good doctor approached me with a piece of broken mirror. "Try this,"
Hannibal Lecter: Try peeling off your face...
Mason Verger: "... and feeding it to the dogs."
