Comment on Anon goes to the store after turning 18

  Probably because you can buy beer at 16, so no one is trying to get high on office supplies.

    Not Europe but here in Norway I do see people huffing nitrous oxide. We do have a legal drinking age of 18 tho

      Nitrous is not comparable to air dusters

      And a beer at the supermarket costs the equivalent of $18.

  I’m in the US and haven’t bought compressed air recently, but I definitely didn’t need to present ID the last time I did.

  This article says 38 states have age restrictions, but after a brief search, I couldn’t find any evidence for this in my state (Utah). It’s illegal to use it to get high and to sell it to someone with the understanding that they’ll use it to get high. But now I’m curious, I’ll have to ask the next time I’m at a store that sells it.
