What the record says

No provision of the D.C. Code regulates the sale, possession or use of nitrous oxide. A full-text search of the Council’s official codified-law repository (the source of code.dccouncil.gov) found nitrous oxide only in the dental-practice definitions at D.C. Code 3-1201.02, and found no inhalant, toxic-vapor or glue-sniffing offense. Nitrous oxide is not on the District’s controlled-substance schedules, which reach only substances listed in Schedules I through V (D.C. Code 48-901.02). No law or act of Council Period 26 (laws 26-1 to 26-112 and 134 acts in the repository) mentions nitrous oxide. Federal law does not control nitrous oxide (see the federal page).

Controlling language, verbatim

“Controlled substance” means a drug, substance, or immediate precursor, as set forth in Schedules I through V of subchapter II of this chapter
