Amyl Nitrate AKA poppers!

I have dated people who liked to do it before sex. I hated the stuff, gave me a splitting headache.

It was also common and legal back then at that time. In the Hannibal movies, Lecter gave Mason Verger a popper before Verger cut his face off with a shard of broken mirror.

It is heavily sensationalized in books and movies, because me nor the people I have done it with would ever consider doing any of the things the people in the movies do when under the influence.

I was thinking pcp or meth, I thought maybe "devils rush" was like a brand name...like how bags of H or marijuana strands have names?

"Devils' Breath", Vice News has a great story exploring the origins of the drug (derived from a tree common in Columbia) and how it is used, mostly to impair and assault/rob victims:

But its not called that (Devils breath) in the movie.
Its more likely to be Amil nytrate (poppers) easy to purchase,instant high,only last a minute or so.Devils breath is extremely powerful,even handling the substance could end up getting the dealer wasted.Its not a drug thats been misused much and in the U.S i dont think its been used at all.
As for Poppers, we used to buy it from head shops in Edinburgh but i never liked the dizzy head rush it gave you and headaches afterwards.
Homosexuals use it as its supposed to relax the rear end.
Its proper use was to put a few drops into a saucer of water before bed so when sleeping it kept the heart beating higher.It was for people with heart conditions but was quickly fazed out by newer more manageable drugs.
I remember my friend blocked up his room by putting towels at bottom of the door and sticky tape round the window or anywhere that had a draught.
He emptied a full bottle (15mls) into a saucer,let it evaporate and sparked up a few joints.Said the high was amazing but not my cuppa tea.
