L.A. bans nitrous oxide sales at cannabis and tobacco shops
Original: L.A. makes it a crime for cannabis and tobacco retailers to sell nitrous oxide
Los Angeles has made it a crime for cannabis and tobacco retailers to sell nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. The measure targets shops that have widely sold small canisters of the gas, which is increasingly misused recreationally and linked to health risks. The move reflects growing local efforts to restrict access to products sold alongside marijuana and tobacco.
Why now: Lawmakers are responding to concerns about recreational misuse of nitrous oxide sold at retail shops.
