Guitar God Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 3 hours ago, alanrchase said: The sale of nitrous oxide is illegal in Thailand. No it isn't. You can buy whippets of it online and in restaurant supply stores all over the country. You can but 6m3 tanks of it from gas supply companies or online. It make be illegal to sell it in balloons for the purpose of people inhaling it but N20 is definitely not illegal in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they say it's still been going on since the last 'crackdown' in February. And it still took them four months to mount another 'crackdown'.

freeworld Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Who would want to chance this inhaling laughing gas What does it do to the body? Laughing gas, sold in metal canisters, is frequently used as a recreational drug. It is inhaled, often using a balloon. The gas can make people relaxed, giggly, light-headed or dizzy. It can also cause headaches and make some users anxious or paranoid; too much nitrous oxide can make a person faint or lose consciousness. Intensive, frequent use of laughing gas can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency which can cause neurological damage, according to a government report quoting several scientific studies. The most common early symptoms of neurological damage are tingling and numbness in the hands or feet. Other early symptoms of neurological damage caused by laughing gas include "skin crawling, and later, staggering, uncoordinated walk[ing], lower limb weakness, muscles stiffening or tightening, overactive or overresponsive bodily reflexes such as twitching, bladder/bowel complaints of incontinence or retention, and sexual dysfunction", according to the report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnock Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Has to be the least anti-social recreational drug used in clubs. Nowhere near as annoying as tobacco or vapes, and I guess less addictive than hard drugs. Cheaper too. And the people I saw inhaling the balloons in Khao San clubs last month didn't seem to exhibit any noticeable effects at all ..... it's probably a milder 'drug' than than the alcohol I was consuming.

Yes, it is milder than alcohol, as long as you don't breathe it in pure enough form to asphyxiate yourself. Besides the cartridges made for aerosol whipping cream, It's primarily used as a mild dental anesthetic with sedative properties, although not in Thailand. It's also used in hot rods as a power boosting agent, as well as a rocket fuel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrous_oxide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippets used for whipped cream require a permit to legally be sold. It is illegal for them to be sold and used as a recreational drug, however commonly they may be actually used. If someone buys legal food grade nitrous whippets and serves them for intoxicating purposes in a bar they are breaking the law. Here's what you didn't bother to read: "Nitrous oxide is a prohibited substance under the Narcotics Act, and those engaged in the production and distribution of such substances without proper authorization face imprisonment for up to five years and fines not exceeding 10,000 Baht.". It's primary use in other countries is as a dental anesthetic/sedative. It's not used for that anywhere in Thailand. So before you next embarrass yourself with baseless comments you might want to take a minute to look things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
