N2  - "LAUGHING GAS is the newest thing for kids seeking kicks," the Stanford Daily reports. "They sniff it."So begins a news story in the Los Angeles Times of 26 January 1967. The story continues:"It's the latest way to travel, or so say a growing group of devotees on the campus," the university student paper said. "It can produce much the same effects as psychedelic drugs, they claim, and it's cheaper to obtain."One student said he buys the gas, nitrous oxide, from a medical supply house. ;They think I am anesthetizing rats,' he explained."Campus medical authorities said the gas, sniffed ;in sufficient amounts... could produce all the states of anesthesia, including the final stage-death.'"<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
