I heard depriving your brain of oxygen gets you "high" but its only a few seconds am i correct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: It may alter your sensation for a few seconds, but I would not say it makes you high. Kills a few brain cells along the way and depending upon the technique you use could result in permanent damage and death.
