A talented cricketer was involved in the supply of 'laughing gas' to students in Nottingham. Hasnain Nasir was supplying nitrous oxide in boxes of 24, Nottingham Crown Court heard.
Each canister cost between £12-£13, bringing a profit on each box of £4, which Nasir spent on general living expenses. Many of his peers used nitrous oxide, which is also called "balloons", "Charges", "Hippie Crack", "Nos", "Noz", "Whippits".
Nasir did not appreciate using the drug was as serious as it is, explained Sarah Phelan, prosecuting, on Tuesday (September 6). Police in Angel Row, leading to Bromley Place, Nottingham city centre, found the nitrous oxide on the back seat of a car and a bag of balloons in October 2018.
