Poppers are amyl nitrite or a similar vasodilator that causes a head rush and muscle relaxation. Used as an inhaled recreational drug, they can be bought at sex shops and online.
Because of restrictions on the sale of such substances in the United States, they are often labeled as leather cleaner, nail polish remover or room deodorizer, though their names hint at their use as a party drug: Super Rush, Ecstasy Pop, Jungle Juice. They are now generally sold in small bottles, as are the 2-ounce doses of caffeine-loaded energy shots such as 5-hour Energy. Poppers, however, cause chemical burns to skin and can be lethal if ingested. The fumes are sniffed from the bottle or after being poured on an absorbent material.
There are also risks to inhaling the drug, which causes a drop in blood pressure and sometimes abnormal heart rhythm.
