Nitrous Oxide Legal? or Illegal?
Ok my friends and i were having an argument. I say that nitrous oxide is allow in a car as long as you have the sticker on the outside sayin that you are carrying nitrous (like thoes trucks carrying gasoline or high pressure cylinders). They say that nitrous is illegal in Canada. Wat do u guys think.. and does anyone have input?
