Then there's the laws on huffing also.
MARYLAND:
From the criminal code:

But I can have twin turbos, a supercharger, and an oxygen tank w/ mask in my car and on, working, with no problem
Nitrous is an oxidizer people
it does not burn. Last edited by Doug G; 03-22-2013 at 08:01 PM.

Only charges I'm aware of here in NC for nitrous would be if it were used you could get careless and wreck less or possibly a prearranged racing charge. Would I charge it...probably not, only because I know what's done to my Camaro haha!

I was under the impression that nitrous for non medical use had a sulfur additive to make you not want to use it for other than a power adder. Anyone else hear of this?

after I felt a touch lite headed, I had to roll the windows down to air out. Weird feeling, but couldn't tell you I smelled sulfur

That's one hell of a profit margin they were getting there. They said they confiscated 36,000lbs with a $20,000,000 street value that's $555 a lb or $5,550 for a full 10lb bottle. They need to check their numbers I don't see anyone paying that kind of coin to huff nitrous.
