Don't blame them tbh, the buzz I get off the gas and air the ambulance regularly have to give me for my ribs is absolutely amazing. Almost worth the pain..

My little brother was doing 'oxygen' at the last festival he went to

Also this really is not new. When I was at school people would do anything to get high (mind maybe not at 11, 13/14 ish). Some of my mates huffed nail varnish. I tried gas once myself and it did nothing but make my tooth really numb so I don't think I did it right

My point exactly.Most kids were trying to get wrecked on something at school back in my day(90's).I smoked weed from 13 until around 20 when it started making me feel like crap and i got zero enjoyment from it.

I think this is Nitrous Oxide N2O or Laughing gas, similar to what the dentist give you. It does have a very short acting euphoric effect.

Not as harmful as sniffing glue but still not something I would be happy for my children to do.

Do you mean like pre-Election promises from the Tories and Labour?

11 is obviously too young to be doing stuff like this but laughing gas is pretty harmless and gives a very short-lasting effect, a lot of bars in Europe have will openly sell it with no issue. Seems to be quite a recent sensationalism around it with all this about it being a "deadly legal high" and "hippy crack"

Nobody's making money from it yet that's why, they'll brand it and then suddenly I'll be safe.

Cynical but perfectly true Kizzy. Nothing is more long term dangerous or potentially addictive than tobacco and alcohol, but these are legit because of the incredible revenues they bring in for our Chancellor.
