They've said they will do this but it is yet to be made law. It is against the advice of the ACMD (Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs).

Ban = illegal for possession without suitable licence/permission etc (likely from the Home Office).

If there is further devolution such that it is banned in England but not one of the devolved administrations, this will still count as a 'yes'.

I will resolve it at the end of this current Parliament.

Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas possession becomes illegal

Now a class C drug, possession for recreational use will carry a prison sentence of up to two years.

predictedYES

To be explicit, possession has become illegal and this should now resolve YES

@mas Thanks! I wish things like this could be auto-resolved, or some kind of alert could be sent by people
