Police Seize 18 Nitrous Oxide Tanks at Phish Concert
Typical Phish concert drug seizure stories involve astronomical amounts of weed, acid, and hacky sacks, but at a recent concert in Connecticut, police confiscated 18 nitrous oxide tanks and dozens of balloons filled with it in the parking lot. Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is technically legal in the U.S., except for purposes of human consumption. And since it's not like anyone at the Phish concert was going to use the nitrous (we call them whippets where I come from) to make a wooden car go faster during shop class, the tanks were confiscated.
Police arrested a total of eight people and also confiscated several grams of marijuana and $1,190. [Hartford Courant via The Daily Swarm]

I was at this concert, and I can attest to the overpopulation of nitrous tanks. Walking back from the concert to the downtown parking garages sounded like this every 15 feet...."pssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht! pssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht! With too many full grown idiots walking around with balloons like they're at the state fair as a 6 year old. It's a stupid drug for stupid people, it's not worth the money and it doesn't make you look cool at all. Leave the hippiecrack alone, people!
