Britain bans 'laughing gas' to curb anti-social behaviour
msn.com 08.11.2023 Story by Reuters

Quote:

LONDON (Reuters) - A ban on the recreational use and possession of nitrous oxide, also known as 'laughing gas', comes into force in Britain on Wednesday, with people caught producing, supplying or selling the drug facing long prison sentences.

The substance, which causes a feeling of euphoria, relaxation and dissociation from reality, has grown in popularity, particularly among young people but the government said it fuelled nuisance behaviour and posed a health hazard.

"For too long the use of this drug in public spaces has contributed to anti-social behaviour which is a blight on communities. We will not accept it," Britain's policing minister Chris Philp said in a statement.

Under the new ban, people who repeatedly misused laughing gas could face fines or up to two years in prison, with a maximum jail punishment for dealing the drug doubled to 14 years.

According to health ministry figures, nitrous oxide is the third most common drug used by 16 to 24-year-olds, and heavy use can result in anaemia, and in more severe cases, nerve damage or paralysis.

In September, interior minister Suella Braverman said people were "fed up" with the use of drugs in public spaces, with discarded gas canisters being littered across Britain's streets.

The ban exempts its legitimate use including for healthcare, dentistry, and in other industries. Licences will not be required, but users will need to demonstrate they are "lawfully in possession" of the drug and not intending to inhale it, the government said.

Under the ban, nitrous oxide will be prescribed as a "Class C" drug and classified in "the least harmful" category of drugs under Britain's laws alongside anabolic steroids, benzodiazepines and growth hormones.

It could be controlled if the PTB really put their minds to it. Like you need a catering license to buy carts. I used to be able to get racing tanks, then one day the government here mandated all non medical tanks needed a bittering agent added, never saw another tank. I am not one of those people who think the law can't stop it, the right laws could massively curtail peoples ability to buy 100's at a time.

I see empty carts all the time here in canada, its hardly what i would call a nuisance, really just littering. People are not inhaling gas and fighting. Or OD'ing and dying. Eventually the dollar a pop cost becomes prohibitive, you really have to make an effort to hurt yourself. They could could add a huge tax to them too, though that sucks for "legit" users

Man that's nuts, but it won't change anything for awhile, there's gotta be millions of cartridges still in the UK right now.

I'm not a huge nitrous fan, but absolutely believe it should be legal.  But the fact that the youth are so fucking irresponsible and litter with them and act so disrespectfully, well, they better realize they're doing this to themselves, but I am never in any fan of psychoactive substances being made illegal.

RIP

Victorian England were the first to party with nitrous

"Inhalation of nitrous oxide for recreational use, with the purpose of causing euphoria or slight hallucinations, began as a phenomenon for the British upper class in 1799, known as "laughing gas parties"."
