Ontwerpbesluit houdende wijziging van het Opiumwetbesluit en lijst II, behorende bij de Opiumwet, in verband met plaatsing van distikstofmonoxide (lachgas) op deze lijst

Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This proposal aims to amend existing Dutch drug laws to include nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, on a list of controlled substances. This action is intended to address concerns related to the public health and safety impacts associated with its recreational use. The change will affect the sale, possession, and use of nitrous oxide. It seeks to curb misuse and potential harms, particularly among young people, by regulating its availability and distribution.
