Since I don't plan on selling it in Indiana that's certainly not a
problem :)
N2O isn't only used for general anesthesia. It's also produced to make
instant whipped cream, as well as an oxidizer for flammable gas devices
(such as butane in soldering torches). Therefore, it's available at cafe
and restaurant supply shops, as well as Radio Shack (Radio Shack =
Tandy) under the trade name 'Micronox'. That would be funny if whipped
cream was illegal in Indiana.
