It was probably sodium nitrite. There's been an increasing number of people using it to exit as it's used in meat seasoning. In the UK you can only buy quite low concentration bulk packets.
The UK would try to ban nitrogen because it can be used to commit suicide. No more Guinness at the pub I guess.
No more balloons for your party either!
Early last year I was almost able to buy it in high concentration from apc pure, but did not have a good lie lined up when they asked me why I was purchasing it. Seems like it's no longer available, but I bet it can be got with some effort.
I hope you're doing okay now.
