The Public Prosecution Service (OM) and the police are "ready to enforce the laughing gas ban," the OM reported on Saturday. Since January 1 of this year, it has been illegal in the Netherlands to transport, sell, manufacture, or possess laughing gas for recreational use. However, enforcement of this ban has not yet occurred. Last November, the police said they were in favor of a ban, but that a few problems needed to be resolved before enforcement was possible. Among other things, a solution had to be found for the transportation and destruction of seized laughing gas.

I had a young neighbor and friend die a few years ago doing whippets. He had been doing it for a couple of years, on and off. One day he did too much and 'zapped all the oxygen out of his body', as I understand it.

But why? Is it particularly harmful? Does it pose such a danger that it's worth spending taxpayers' money on this?
