Nitrous Oxide in Belize: not individually verified

Also known as: laughing gas, whippets, nangs

We have not confirmed that Nitrous Oxide specifically is scheduled in Belize, 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. Nitrous oxide and nitrous returned nothing in either file. There is no near entry. The volume prints no inhalational agent and no medical gas. A medical gas is normally handled by medicines legislation rather than by a misuse of drugs schedule, and this project has recorded a jurisdiction that moved nitrous oxide into a drug class by statutory instrument after the consolidation an author was reading. Neither the Belize medicines legislation nor the Act's Second Schedule was read here. This row is a gas, and the whole Chapter 103 subsidiary volume is written about solids and liquids in dosage form. Nothing in this cell rests on an absence being the whole answer: the Misuse of Drugs Regulations are subsidiary law, and the list that decides whether a substance is a controlled drug at all is the Act's own Second Schedule, which section 4 divides into Parts I, II and III for Class A, Class B and Class C. That schedule is in the Substantive Laws volume of Chapter 103 and was not among the four instruments in the subsidiary volume read, so this row is left open rather than answered. The search recorded above covers the Misuse of Drugs Regulations, the Cannabis Violation Tickets Regulations and the Industrial Hemp Regulations as the Revised Edition 2020 volume prints them, showing the subsidiary laws as at 31 December 2020, together with the 1990 Act text. The schedule placement in this cell is read off the instrument and is not printed in the quoted dossier extract, which names the Act's schedules only as a range.

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