#NitrousOxide — #LaughingGas is increasingly being toyed with at parties in several countries. But the easily available drug, which typically produces a very quick high, is no laughing matter. Side effects range from irreversible neurological harm, psychiatric symptoms, and personality changes to damage to the mouth, nose, lungs, and the central nervous system — and death. https://medium.com/wise-well/inhaling-laughing-gas-isnt-all-fun-and-games-12f8b87d84be

"A rational society would follow the example of Portugal, where drug use has been decriminalised...Yet what hope when the two biggest parties stick their fingers up at the experts: the last Labour government fired Prof David Nutt, its chief drug adviser, when he correctly argued that ecstasy and LSD were less dangerous than alcohol"

Non-rhetorical question...

Why was the #LaughingGas ban announced by an habitual #cocaine user?

Tories are ignoring their own guidance on #NitrousOxide aka #LaughingGas:

"a short way of getting high that is way less damaging in the long term than alcohol, much less likely to cause aggression,”... “We don’t ban bungee jumping [although] some people get retinal detachments; we don’t ban people jumping out of airplanes with parachutes, even though they break their backs; we don’t ban things that cause a lot more toxic damage to people’s bodies than nitrous oxide,”

It causes a problem in more ways than one.
