It is illegal for New Yorkers under age 21 to purchase a can of whipped cream, according to recently-passed state law. The law, which went into effect in November 2021, is meant to prevent teenagers from using canned whipped cream to inhale nitrous oxide, otherwise known as "whippets." "Inhalants are invisible, volatile substances found in common household products that produce chemical vapors that are inhaled to induce psychoactive or mind-altering effects," according to a US Drug Enforcement Administration factsheet. Approximately 1 in 5 young people have used inhalants like whippits by the time they reach eighth grade, the DEA said.

LOL - they'll simply inhale the cans in the aisles nowhere near a checkout. Future stores will have only virtual or dummy package products on the shelves. Pick it out on your phone, pay and THEN you get your stuff.

Sir Humphry Davy used to host dinitogen monoxide parties when he wasn’t inventing the arc lamp.

Even if the teen (pre-teen) is celebrating mutilating their privates without their parent's knowledge?

What the heck, they can simply steal the cans and no one will do anything. The store can't get in trouble because they didn't actually sell the stuff.

If I lived in NYC, I'd probably need laughing gas to get through the day.

Not enough oxy and meth coming across the border to be bothered with it? Just go after the easy stuff like whipped cream.

NY is such a despicable state that I should not be exposed to what happens there. It has caused me pain and suffering.

Democrats want everyone drugged out because those masses are easier to control. Look at what vodka has done to the Russian people. Think that was by accident? Same thing here only done by a different substance but has the same result, Legalizing drugs never ends well. People are weak and other people are more than happy to make massive amounts of money feeding that addiction. Ultimately society rots.

No, Katie, whipped cream cans and/or nitrous oxide in general are not "whippets." In traditional recreational culture, "whippets" are the small (di)nitrous oxide cartridges used in commercial whipped cream applications. Search "whippet" on Amazon, where you can buy them by the gross for about 50 cents each.

Actually, #16, whippets are a breed of dog. Like a greyhound but smaller.
Sorry, I have greyhounds and couldn’t resist.

Real whipped cream is better. For whipped cream, that is.

More nanny-government foolishness. Left-wingers have nothing better to do, seemingly never running out of ways to protect people from themselves.

Apparently the law is just now requiring an ID to buy whipped cream. But you can vote a dozen times and no one will notice.
