what do poppers do

Poppers are a group of chemicals, such as amyl nitrite or butyl nitrite, that people inhale to get high. They cause a rush of euphoria, heightened sexual pleasure, and muscle relaxation, and are often used as a party drug, particularly in the gay and queer community. Poppers work by dilating blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the brain and other parts of the body, leading to effects such as a head rush, increased heart rate, and warm sensations. However, they can also cause serious health problems and are considered unsafe for recreational use. Inhaling poppers can lead to severe side effects, including dizziness, headaches, respiratory reactions, and a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Poppers are also associated with risks such as eye and brain damage, and their use can be fatal, especially when combined with alcohol or used in excessive amounts or for long periods of time
