Summary
Nitrous oxide, aka “whippets,” is exploding in Michigan’s emergency rooms—with visits jumping from ten to sixty and 911 calls up 420%. Easily bought at smoke shops and gas stations for just $5, it’s hitting teens and young adults hard, causing paralysis, numbness, and long-term neurological damage. With only voluntary reports tracked, the real crisis may be worse. Experts like Dr. Varun Vohra are calling for a total ban on recreational sales to keep it out of the wrong hands.
