Stupid law

[Graphics159]

I have a story I feel like bitching about, So It was that time of the month where I clean out my pc, I usually use a compressed air can but today we ran out to i ran to Walmart to buy another one, when I was checking out the machine beeped and a worker came over to me and ask to see my id. (i am 16) For some reason, you need to be 18 to buy compressed air. Why? I am still pissed it is an absolutely stupid law. So now I don't have a can of compressed air, a Dusty Pc, and less fuel in my car from going to Walmart that is half an hour one way from where I live.

A quick Google search reveals that some minors have been inhaling these to get high. That, and among other uses with compressed air I can think of that could lead to serious injury if used improperly or inappropriately.

so you can buy petrol which is highly flammable but not compressed air?

My generation the "Millennial's" were the ones who fucked that up for you. Some of my generation were huffing those to get high. But seeing how your generation is eating Tide Pods its better for them to be safe than sorry.

why are Tide pods not age gated?

[Beef Boss]

Yes, kids get high off air. Welcome to Earth,

Because the direct eventuality helps us as a species.

In certain remote communities in Australia they have had to restrict the sale of deodorant cans after children have died from inhaling the contents in order to get high.

Initially alcohol was banned in some of the communities due to severe ongoing misuse, community issues, violence, and high crime rates within the area. They then started sniffing petrol to get high off the fumes, which led BP to develop a new type of fuel ("Opal Fuel") that does not produce a high when sniffed that is sold within the area. Aerosol paint spray cans were banned as they were getting high off the fumes of that after the change to petrol. Once that was banned, they moved on to aerosol deodorant cans.

The point is, people will misuse anything if they can get a high from it and left unchecked can do immense damage to a community.

If local stores won't sell you compressed air cans, just buy them from amazon.

Probably not age restricted and will be cheaper in the long run : https://www.homedepot.com/p/Campbell-Hausfeld-1-Gal-Air-Compressor-with-Basic-Inflation-Kit-FP2028/202581673

It isn't air. That's why it's dangerous. There are different gasses in compressed air cans.

Well your laws let you drive a car at 16, so at least you have that going for you.

Giving the same people eating laundry pods the ability to pilot a fast moving, 2-ton piece of moving metal doesn't strike me as the best idea in the world.
