By Randy Economy Hollywood, Ca Scary situation going on with actress Demi Moore. She is in a hospital and is reportedly "hooked on nitrous oxide." Huh? Laughing gas? Yep. Amazing to see that Nitrous is now the new "drug of choice" for some celebs. I first met Demi back in the 1980's when she was hanging out in the "club scene" in China Town here in Downtown LA. I hope she gets the help she needs, because this is serious.... Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or sweet air,[1] is a chemical compound with the formula N2O. It is an oxide of nitrogen. At room temperature, it is a colorless non-flammable gas, with a slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as "laughing gas" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anesthetic. It is also used as an oxidizer in rocketry and in motor racing to increase the power output of engines. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen.
