There will be exemptions for legitimate uses of nitrous oxide, for example in medical or catering industries. The gas is commonly used as a painkiller and for producing whipped cream in cooking.

    “Restrict it’s usage” lmao, no. The restrictions on alcohol are not comparable in any universe to the restrictions on illegal drugs that you can literally be put into prison for using.

    It literally does not matter that N2O is not perfectly harmless because nothing is, you absolute rube. There are OTC products massively more dangerous that will never be banned because the demographics that tend to use them aren’t widely maligned by the rich, old pieces of shit in power. That includes alcohol.

    Fuck you if you think your right to not have to smell weed or whatever in public makes it okay to throw people into prison.

      Yeah that’s possible or something, I don’t care.

      They are banning nitrous oxide because they consider it a drug. Is that a wrong thing to do or is it not? Idk, I don’t give a shit.

      Saying that they are banning it for any other reason is ridiculous.

      Also the waste that comes from nitrous oxide is ludicrous but that’s another matter.

      I just think tobacco smells awful when sitting next to someone on the train. Calm down a bit. Luckily smoking near train stations and near restaurants and other places with a lot of people is illegal in my country.

      And I don’t think I have ever smelt weed
