New York law went into effect last year but enforcement has just begun recently at some Capital Region stores
Be prepared to show your ID at the grocery checkout if you want to buy whipped cream in a canister.
In New York, the popular dessert topping has joined alcohol and tobacco products on the list of items age-restricted for purchase to those 21 and older, and proof of age is now required at the point of sale.
The chargers that propel whipped cream through a canister nozzle are filled with nitrous oxide gas, which can be inhaled to produce a high. The inhalant has long been a popular recreational drug – called "whippets" – among teenagers due to the availability of whipped cream canisters at grocery and convenience stores.
Because of this, the state prohibited the sale of whipped cream chargers to those under the age of 21 last November. The chargers themselves can be purchased for use in refillable whipped cream dispensers, but most people likely will notice enforcement of the law when they buy whipped cream packaged in a canister.
The legislation was passed after being sponsored by Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D-Queens) who emphasized the dangers of recreational use of nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas," after seeing the effect of the inhalant in neighborhoods throughout his district.
“Sadly, young people buy and inhale this gas to get ‘high’ because they mistakenly believe it is a ‘safe’ substance. This law will eliminate easy access to this dangerous substance for our youth,” Addabbo said in a provided statement.
While the bill was signed into effect almost a year ago, signs stating the restriction and I.D. checks have only recently popped up in the Capital Region. The lag is likely due to an issue with the tracking of the law, according to Kent Sopris, president of the New York Association of Convenience Stores.
Sopris said he became aware of the law's enactment about two months ago and immediately let members know so they could begin enforcing it at stores.
I don’t think that is anything that I would have wanted to do.
“Sen. Joseph Addabbo”
Sounds like a name that someone would come up with after inhaling a bunch of whipped cream.
It’s as dumb as having to show ID and sign to get Sudafed!
I did that once and transferred my addiction from Sudafed + to Afrin. I used Sudafed + from April to the first frost.
This week, I’m trying to kick the Afrin Habit. With my luck, they will now, probably make normal saline nasal mist a scheduled drug.
I’ll join you in the digression: you’re right, though I don’t care for whipped cream. I prefer to keep whipping it and make butter. Guests are impressed at being served homemade bread and butter
Fricking incredible:
21 years old to purchase canned whipped cream with valid id!
5 years old to request sex reassignment surgery!
Cool Whip is still cool, right?
We used to buy the pressurized cans as kids(1958), put it in our mouths and let fly! All the canned whipped cream back then tasted like coconut.
Never got high. Maybe they used CO2.
What effects did he see? Kids laying around on front lawns and sidewalks with empty cans of whipped cream laying beside them?
YES and that was another theme used for the game show “The dating game”........

Huffing. That’s been around since my kids were teens.
The head shops coordinate with one selling the dispenser and one selling cartridges. At least that's how it worked in FL for a friend of mine's kid.
Last spring, I was at my pharmacy, and needed to pick up a RX that was an opiate - Hydrocodone 10/325. I was able to just go in and pay for it. The next day I went back for some cold formula Advil, which I seem to need a few times a year for massive sinus headaches. I had to produce ID to get what used to be an OTC product.
