    What the actual fuck? Nos lasts like a minute, 2 minutes tops when not hooked up to a machine.

    Do these people have a fucking bottle and mask?

      For exactly these reasons, massively doubting the 'looming threat ', unless you count the threat of grifters milking money from the nanny state.

        The threat i guess is more that it absolutely rots your brain. But that has nothing to do with whatever they are trying to accomplish

    In the most British act ever, Britain is cracking down on a drug that makes you laugh.

      Right up there with UK’s “curry”. 🤢🖕🏼

      Almost as if spices’re contraband, mirth’s criminal, and laughter’s terrorism. God slave the queen.

    Just take whipped cream with you and when the police stop you just eat a whole can of it on the spot. That should invalidate the results cause that is not recreational drug use but eating, which is, from what i know, still legal in the uk. Who knows next time they might ban drinking water or some shit

      Why ban water when it’s far easier to inflate its price beyond all affordability by stripping entire populations of their access and handing your fellow pedos the gov’t contract to snort it dry before they start a fresh one?

    Sometimes people try to say the UK was ever a beacon of progress in the world. After all the island where Karl Marx was unfortunately buried has to have some meaningful idea of how to move on from the 13th century.

    Then this nonsense keeps popping up.

    Fascism never left Europe, it just decided to go the slow route this time.

    Treating cream foamer as a dangerous drug seems a bit overreaching, but yeah, you should absolutely be sober when driving.
