“The piles of used whippits in our communities are not only an eye sore but also indicative of a significant nitrous oxide abuse problem."

In my experience, there are so many 'whippits' littering parking lots, it's hard see the covid masks all over the place.... What the hell does a whippit look like anyway?

EDIT: Can't we just tax whippits at 40% and make them available at dispensaries all over the state?

“Nitrous oxide is a legal chemical for legitimate professional use but when used improperly, it can be extremely lethal,” said Addabbo

Sounds like he's talking about guns. A legal item that a fraction of a percentage of people use to harm others. But yeah let's ban more shit because of a handful of idiots.
Every time they ban something it's one more step toward becoming China. Soon the list of legal items we can have will be smaller that the list of banned items

Strangely I can still order the following:
Nitrile gloves
ice pick and/or sledge hammer
drop cloth
duct tape
bailing wire
cement blocks
Bleach
scrub brush

i know, it’s a random combination of items, but still curious that NY allows them. Hey BTW @cgrutt can I borrow your boat some day?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were making meth.

I had to verify my age to buy spray paint today. I even told the dude I’m not huffing this stuff I’m painting patio furniture. Come on it’s crazy.
All I care about is if I can whip cream my wife’s wonderful tits again when we go away like I did last time. It was pretty great.

Some Businesses utilize a Bar Code Reader Program that requires the Cashier to scan a Drivers Licenses before they can proceed: it doesn't differentiate between the physically obvious, you're just a number into their Data Base.
Make the age of Adulthood 21 across the Board or reinstate the Rights and Privileges across the Board: It's bullshit to say OK, you're 18 now and can go into debt for the rest of your life with Student Loans, but you're (presumably) too immature to buy a Beer or Cigarette.... 'course now that the Interns are 18 and too stupid to know they're being played they can be legally fucked and discarded.

Cuomo may be gone but his Gun Squad remains.
Hey! If it saves just one deadhead from a life of dead-headedness then Abbado can sleep well after counting the money from the "special interest" group that paid a sizeable donation to his "fund" for sponsoring the bill.
After all! Nobody licks with a can of Redi-Whip. Nobody needs 10 ounces of whippets to feel real queeeeeahhhh!

You kids can still use a tub of CoolWhip. No license needed.

Those cash register businesses are the ones that sponsor bills like this by making donations to people like Abbado. They then pitch their function to all the 7-11's and Walmarts. The sic code triggers a message to ask for ID or proof of age. It is the reason I don't buy my beer from 7-11 or Tops. Being in my late 60s I don't feel the need to prove that I came over 21.
I bought a can of Rust Remover from Walmart last week. I was in a hurry so for the first time ever, I used the self-checkout. The thing locks up and I am trying to figure out what I did wrong when a young lady approaches and had to override the machine because they can't sell rust remover to Gen Z'ers. Gotta be 21. Woot!

Sounds like he's talking about basically everything.

Gasoline, knives, spray paint, baseball bat, chainsaw, etc...

There are probably more things meet that "legal item that can cause harm if misused" than not.

I am more cynical than you. It is not about age verification. They scan the barcode and it reads everything about your pedigree. Name DOB Address and DL Number. That info goes into a database somewhere.
May never be used or if you somehow end up on some FED's enemies list it could be used against you some day.
