Nitrous Oxide in Nicaragua: not individually verified
Also known as: laughing gas, whippets, nangs
We have not confirmed that Nitrous Oxide specifically is scheduled in Nicaragua, 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 was not settled against Nicaragua's controlled list in this pass. Nitrous oxide is not named in the annexed lists. Ley No. 641 carries a separate inhalant article, article 357, which addresses products containing aromatic hydrocarbons or similar substances supplied for inhalation, and whether an inorganic gas answers that description is not settled by anything printed. The lists relied on are those as annexed in 1999 and carried into Ley No. 735 by article 101 of the consolidated text published in La Gaceta Diario Oficial No. 32 of 20 February 2024. That reading does not rule out a later incorporation by the Ministry of Health, which article 1 permits to be published in any newspaper of national circulation before it reaches the gazette.
Confirm directly with Nicaragua’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.
