Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas possession becomes illegal
Now a class C drug, possession for recreational use will carry a prison sentence of up to two years.

So if I were living in the UK, I’d be a criminal, got it.
But on a more serious note, how am I supposed to whip cream now? I understand banning it as a drug, but what about the main purpose of nitrous?
@DaDragon before there was nitrous sold for whipping cream, there was this thing called an egg beater.
Does the same job without producing so much waste.
I actually had no idea people made whipped cream using a method other than whipping it with a whisk (manually or motorized).
It’s nicer, for when you have guests over, for example. You could always pipe the cream, I guess, but that’s even more work
Nitrous whipped cream is sweeter, but apart from that and presentation, you’re correct.
@DaDragon I never whip cream plain, I always add a tsp powdered sugar and vanilla essence. Tastes way better.
Use nitrogen or carbon dioxide, I guess? No idea how those will perform.
Carbon dioxide would produce curdled cream, that much I know.
Looks like it’s only a half-ban, really.
For example, someone buying a single canister on a weekday alongside other household and baking goods differs to young people buying a number of nitrous oxide canisters on a weekend.
Which I find funny because I do have a large stock of nitrous cartridges, and am a young person.
so they just want the law to say they can incarcerate people if they feel like it?
that is the purpose of a great many laws
