What is
Poppers are a popular drug that is mainly used for sexual arousal and enjoyment.
Its composition consists mainly of nitrate starch (hence their official name is nitrite starch). They sometimes contain butyl nitrate or even cyclohexyl, isopentyl and isoamyl nitrate which are potent chemicals.
It is a very flammable clear or yellow liquid with a sweet aroma, similar to that of dialysis when fresh.
But when it's not, it smells like dirty socks.
They are usually packed in a glass capsule or vial and the user either breaks or removes the cap to release fumes.
The fumes are usually inhaled directly from the bottle.
They are sold in sex shops, clubs, bars, in some clothing and record stores by mail order or online.
Historical route
The use of starchy starch was originally used for medical and pharmaceutical purposes after its benefits were discovered in 1859.
From 1960 onwards, as soon as starch was removed from the general market, the butyl starch, which was used as a deodorant to bypass the laws, began to circulate in the market. Manufacturers have once again found a way to circumvent the laws, but in the end, all products with butyl starch were banned in the United States in 1988.
Congress in 1991 introduced the sales of all nitrites illegal.
From then until today, their production, distribution and sale are illegal.
The poppers' entertainment use became popular in the 1950s in the US and UK theaters.
The first to adopt the use were homosexuals. They discovered the muscle relaxant properties of poppers, which facilitate anal sex and at the same time prolong the duration of orgasm.
Poppers are also used to offer euphoria at parties. In 1970 he was honored at the discos in the United States. There he went on to the disco and later to the European Reeve scene, often in combination with other drugs.
The use

Although not formally a stimulant, all nitrites have a similar effect to stimulants.

The effect of inhaling fumes is almost instantaneous and lasts very little.
Users report "headaches" and feel that time is running out.
When use is made for sexual pleasure, then users report that the duration of orgasm was longer and did not allow premature ejaculation.
Also, poppers relax anal muscles by making anal penetration easier and painless.

In case of ingestion of large amounts (instead of inhalation of fumes) it can lead to loss of consciousness. Deaths have also been reported due to loss of consciousness.
