Nitrous Oxide in Brazil: not individually verified
Also known as: laughing gas, whippets, nangs
We have not confirmed that Nitrous Oxide specifically is scheduled in Brazil, 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. No entry of Portaria SVS/MS 344 de 12 de maio de 1998 names this substance, so this cell reports a measured absence and not a positive legal status, and it is marked as unconfirmed for that reason. The complete Anexo I was read, listas A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C5, D1, D2, E and F1 to F4 together with every adendo, and no entry names this substance. Searches were run in Portuguese for oxido nitroso, protoxido de nitrogenio and the formula. None appears anywhere in the annex. The text read is Anexo I as published with Resolucao 1.036 de 9 de julho de 2026, Atualizacao n. 101, read as at that version, and it does not rule out a later one.
Confirm directly with Brazil’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
