This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition I want the Governement to Limit or prohibit the use of nitrous oxide cannisters.
Children and young adults are abusing nitrous oxide to the point they are blacking out and crashing cars, ending up in comas or paralysed. It is heart-breaking and soul destroying watching this happen.
More details
I've been recently educating myself on this 'new high' that is bringing misery around the country. It has affected me personally and I am aware of people who have been in situations where they've blacked out behind a wheel, or have ended up paralysed and in comas. This substance is being abused by people and ruining famillies across the country. The Governement needs to take action!Theres nothing regulating this stuff and its on our streets in ridiculous amounts and easily accessible!
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you want to ban all use of nitrous oxide, including commercial use, or to make it illegal to possess nitrous oxide without a reasonable excuse. The Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 includes offences relating to the supply and possession with the intent to supply nitrous oxide. Those convicted of either of these offences may be subject to a maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment, or a fine or both.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
