Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) 

We have received lots of calls/emails regarding these canisters being found in various locations on the rural, they are legal and but illegal to take have dangerous and powerful effects.

These silver canisters discarded on streets and in parks. They contain nitrous oxide which, when inhaled, slows down the user’s brain, it can also cause fits of giggles and laughter. Nitrous oxide can also result in intense headaches and paranoia. Heavy regular use of nitrous oxide can lead to a deficiency of vitamin B12 and to a form of anemia. This can in turn lead to serious nerve damage, causing tingling and numbness in the fingers and toes. This can be very painful and make walking very difficult. It can also cause unconsciousness and suffocation from lack of oxygen.

Please continue to let us know where you are finding them so we can patrols the areas
