There will be exemptions for legitimate uses of nitrous oxide, for example in medical or catering industries. The gas is commonly used as a painkiller and for producing whipped cream in cooking.

I wish they would just make cannabis legal, and then just not make a big thing of it. It's such a non-policy when you think about it, "oh we're going to stop criminalising people who've barely done anything wrong, aren't we wonderful".

They view every policy as something that will either gain them votes or lose them votes so the idea of just doing something quietly is alien to them.
