This is a very cheap drug, can be had very easily, it is not a controlled substance...

So why exactly the raids then?

“we don’t have the ability to control it.”

That’s the mot instructive line in the entire article. They’re not pissed that people inhale nitrous oxide. They’re pissed because they can’t control people doing so.

Since nitrous-oxide (NO) is composed of the two most common components of air nitrogen and oxygen, it would be a tad tricky for the idiot Feds to try and regulate it, but I wouldn't doubt they'll try. I'll bet they'll soon classify oxygen (O2) a gateway drug.

Hundreds of law enforcement officers on Friday raided Southern California auto parts shops and other businesses suspected of illegally selling nitrous oxide........Four federal arrest warrants were also served during the 17 simultaneous raids in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties.......... at least two people were arrested on misdemeanor charges

Sounds successful.

Years ago a kid broke in to the office of a dentist friend of mine and stole a nitrous bottle. Kid was eventually found dead leaning against a tree with nitrous mask on his face.

I hope the Cops don’t start shooting up Corvettes by mistaking them for Honda Civics.

It used to be perfectly legal up until maybe 20 or so years ago, to buy balloons filled with nitrous oxide in New Orleans as well.
Don’t we have more important crimes to go after?

The gas is legally used by dentists for anesthesia

I know a dentist in southern NH (a friend of a friend), who has virtually crippled himself huffing the stuff. What a waste.

I had some administered during one particularly long and tedious dental procedure. I don’t see where the real thrill would be to make it a hot item - more relaxing than exhilarating and the effects wear off about 10 breaths after the gas is turned off.

...its illegal use has spurred fatal car accidents, rapes and teen deaths - all in the name of a temporary high.

Heaven help us if something turns up that produces a long term or permanent high.
