Crimes and offenses, possession, use, or sale of "whippets," "laughing gas," "poppers," and "snappers" prohibited in certain circumstances, criminal penalties provided

SB 78 prohibits the possession, use, or sale of specific inhalant products - including butyl nitrite ("whippets"), nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"), and amyl nitrite ("poppers" or "snappers") - except for medical, industrial, or food-related purposes. It classifies unlawful possession as a Class A misdemeanor and unlawful sale as a Class D felony. The law exempts licensed medical facilities, manufacturers, and uses like nitrous oxide in food preparation or automotive applications (for those 21+), but flavored products create a presumption against these exceptions. This bill directly affects the general public by criminalizing recreational use of these inhalants while allowing limited legal access for specific professional or medical needs.
