  Hahaha. But yeah it’s not being banned because of that obviously. Just thought it would be interesting to add.

    Well it’s not necessarily targeting specifically footballers but it’s being banned because people are using it as a drug. Why did you think they were banning it?

      I don’t buy that they are banning it because of people getting high. That makes not one iota of sense while alcohol is still legal and much more harmful to your health.

      This really is just another instance of boomers trying to get one last fuck you in to their children and grandchildren before they walk out the door.

        Pretty much every bannable drug is banned.

        You can’t ban nicotine or alcohol since people would riot. You can restric it’s usage though, and guess what, they are doing that.

        And let’s not pretend that nitrous oxide isn’t dangerous because it is.

        P.S. I don’t want to be involved in a debate about if banning drugs or gas or whatever is good or bad, since I don’t really care as long as I don’t have to smell the awful smells and gases. I am just pointing out that the government is banning it because of its drug usage and not for the lulz like you seem to believe.
