Nitrous Oxide in Bangladesh: not individually verified

Also known as: laughing gas, whippets, nangs

We have not confirmed that Nitrous Oxide specifically is scheduled in Bangladesh, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record

Not confirmed for Bangladesh. Nitrous oxide is named nowhere in the First Schedule, and no inhalant or gas of any kind appears in it. Searched, on 2026-09-17: the full First Schedule as printed in the Bangladesh Gazette of 14 November 2018, all three classes and every serial, for the substance's name and its common synonyms and abbreviations; the consolidated Act on bdlaws for the same terms; the Narcotics Control (Amendment) Acts of 2020 and 2026 for any schedule amendment, finding none in either; and the Department of Narcotics Control's own list of laws and rules, which carries ten instruments and no schedule amendment. What came back was nothing. The status is therefore not confirmed, and the open question is whether Class 'ka' serial 7, Class 'kha' serial 5 or Class 'ga' serial 4 reaches it as a derivative, isomer, analogue or agonist of something that is named, which is a question the Act's words leave to a court.

Confirm directly with Bangladesh’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
