How naive am I? For ages I thought they were discarded by cyclists after a quick puncture repair. Then the penny dropped. Cyclists wouldn’t simply discard them. Kids who supposedly are more aware of saving the planet would. |

Because cyclists are the bane of everyone's existence. Blame everything on them, of course."

Nitrous oxide.
Laughing gas.
It produces a euphoric high that's relatively short lived. It's also used a lot by dentists for pain relief while extracting teeth.
Was very popular in Victorian society to have "Gas Parties" where well heeled folks inhaled, giggled, maybe also fainted a bit and then ate cucumber sandwiches with tea.

They are legal as a baking aid, no one will deliver them to student accommodations, though (wonder why?). |

Is it the nitrous oxide ones that go in whipped cream dispensers? If so they blow a balloon up with it and then inhale it by breathing it in and out till you feel the effects. It's laughing gas so you start giggling hysterically and everything sounds like it has an echo. It used to be commonly and legally sold in nightclubs about 10 years ago, I did it a few times in my mispent youth. |

I've not seen it in UK clubs for a while but I did have one in Cyprus a few weeks ago at Flairs bar in Paphos (I haven't done party drugs in over 12 years but a balloon is a laugh occasionally), mispent youth not quite over  |

Sorry didn’t realise would be so hurt, clearly a cyclist. And I’ll identify as whatever I want to. Considering that majority demographic call
Me a kid I see it perfectly fine to identify as such. |
