radio_peter Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 For months now, I have been finding small metal bottles in gutters , usually on Sundays. They look just like the ones I used to make beer, for injecting carbon dioxide. Today I found 4 in S2 area . Are they some new drug taken by people on Saturday night out? maybe Helium or Nitrous Oxide? I would like to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Funny you should mention those - I was driving out the NEC and there was a whole load of them on the grass verge whilst I was waiting to get on the motorway. "What are those?" I said. I don't know is the short answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio_peter Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I do know the carbon dioxide ones are used for small Soda Water syphons. Maybe .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 They are nitrous oxide aka 'hippie crack' containers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio_peter Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 How are they sold ? I can't believe they are generally available . I know dentists use the gas for difficult extractions- I have had it done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey finn Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Sound like the sort used in Co2 rifles and pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio_peter Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Why would they be lying in the street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slh73 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Something like this? CO2 cartridges for inflating tyres. Some cyclists have had a puncture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio_peter Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Ha ha. I think you have solved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Why would they be lying in the street? Because the user has inhaled the contents and then chucked it away. Like a used needle or a cigarette butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
