I’ve been using poppers for about a year and a half, pretty infrequently (only about one time per month, sometimes less). Over the past several months, however, I have been having less pleasant experiences in which I feel dizzy, nauseous, and just generally unhorny while attempting to goon. I haven’t changed anything about the method I use or frequency with which I take hits, and I’ve noticed this issue across several brands.

So, is there a good way to “soften the blow” a bit? Hitting straight from the bottle is usually pretty ok for me compared to using a sippy cup or similar vessel, but I prefer not to use the bottle because I don’t want to have to worry about spillage.
