Can’t buy whipped cream but can’t buy an unlimited amount of Guns.
Lol it would be hard to get high from it.
how f#cking stupid can the law makes be? Really, they are morons.
DON'T WE HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO 😳🤔
Why not pass a law requiring them to fill the cans with compressed air instead of no2 if infact it is such a problem.
Whippets have been around since at least the 1960's, this isn't new it's novel.
Those who like to do Nitrous Oxide aren't new, nor is the standard method of imbibing Whippets new.
Passing an age restriction on Whipped Cream won't stop people under 21 from acquiring it. Whether to eat it normally or use it to get high.
What Adult reading this rant & over the age of 21 had trouble getting their hands on alcohol as an underage kid??????? I'd bet not the majority.
I know I never had much issue getting beer or liquor as a kid. Dad, extended relatives, the neighbors, ect.
Restricting it will put the curiousity of why into their minds, & then they'll do a teensy bit of research and VOILA they've learned a NEW way to get high.
Congrats Law Makers, you took something most children find innocuous & delicious and told them it was off limits to them to buy.
What's a kid do when they're told "Stay out of the Cookie Jar"???
They get into the dammed Cookie Jar! Yall should've either left it alone and innocuous to the uninformed, or ran legislation to have the base gas changed to something that doesn't get you stoned. Age restriction was hands down the worst thing you could have done.
has anyone ever die from it? if the answer is no then time wasted, if yes tiem well wasted!

How much money will whipped cream loose? How much money will americans pay when they sue?
Hahaha….what a joke…
Stupid waste of tax payers money.
Way to make sure every kid knows you can use a can of whipped cream to get high
You can get high from anything if you're determined and you're smart enough. Yes, I'm a teenager, but I don't do drugs and I never plan to because they ruin lives and because I've seen the negative effects of it in other people I know personally. But I know enough about drugs via drug education at school to know this law is stupid. You can make moonshine from potatoes. You can make wine from grape juice if you're patient enough to wait a couple months. Most meth and coke strains have ordinary products almost anyone can legally buy from the store for everyday uses (nail polish remover, rat poison, drain cleaner, battery acid from batteries). And people will do what they want to regardless of restrictions. Look at Prohibition era. Illegal booze consumption actually increased.
I know some supporters of this bill could easily say it's for the protection of the children, or whatever and that it's good this is banned along with alcohol and other drugs (I fully agree with the fact that that other drugs are banned for people under 21). However, unlike alcohol or other drugs, whipped cream isn't a general drug in itself and isn't really used that way by numerous people. The nitrous oxide additive is. Furthermore, the FDA obviously hasn't seen this as major issue to take all canned food sprays off the shelf or issue warnings against other aerosol products being abused, as well as the fact that one would have to buy a huge quantity of such things to get high. I had to research and present a whole professional college-level project about nitrous oxide and I can tell you that the amount of NO2 you would need to get high off the drug alone from a whipped cream can is a pretty significant one. At that point it becomes a waste of money. Other teens will just get whipped cream from their parents' purchases, just like how some get beer or cigarettes. It's not going to STOP them from getting whipped cream somehow. It's actually going to do the opposite, because they'll still want to inhale the gas anyways and want to huff it even more as an act of rebellion. That's just how it is.
Secondly, why should I have to give somebody an I.D. to buy a single can of WHIPPED CREAM just because I could p o s s i b l y be doing drugs when I just wanna buy whipped cream to make hot chocolate and fancy coffees for my friends?!?! Yeah, I could have my parents buy it for me, but they'd just buy it for me to use it for my friends and I in the first place, like I originally planned. So then why do they have to limit my purchase of it in the first place? And why is it limited to teens? I don't think that doing this is age-limited, especially when it's apparent that New York's governor has been huffing some whipped cream cans, too.
Yes, by all means, drive a car, vote in a federal election, and buy a gun, but you can't be trusted to buy whipped cream in a can. Nanny state bs.
"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39▪︎
So use another gas.
That is "big brother" over-reach. 🤦♀️ Are they aware of the dangers of other products? You can die if you indulge in too much soda; cooking sprays? 🔥 Fire hazards; gotta get them out of the hands of children …under 21, because, somehow, 21 is a magic number… 🤨
So then just buy it without the pressurized cans.
Can we have laws to protect our right to purchase harmless and useful items–when used properly–from the criminal STUPIDITY and BOREDOM of children? Seriously, who's RUNNING this country anyway?! We've already lost syrup of ipecac, once a common tool in many medicine cabinets, to its blatant misuse by those on pro-ana websites. What's next?
We make new laws for whipped cream, but nothing new for guns purchases? Smart America
Thank your Senator for that…
Dumb kids do stupid thing’s that end up with people dead!…🙏
Kids these days don't need aerosol to get high, they can just choke each other unconscious. (True story)
This is ridiculous
But GUNS ARE FINE!
Yes it could get you high for one second
Yes, because no one over 21 would never do that…
