Poppers

Poppers, plural for "popper", are a class of volatile alkyl nitrites that are inhaled for their psychoactive effects. They are typically sold in small, airtight bottles and are known for causing a rapid, short-lived rush, characterized by a head rush, relaxation of smooth muscles (leading to enhanced sexual experience for some), and a euphoric sensation. The primary active compounds are often amyl nitrite, butyl nitrite, or isobutyl nitrite. The effects are usually immediate but transient, lasting only a few minutes. poppers are commonly associated with recreational use and are sometimes used to enhance sexual experiences.
