Nitrous Oxide, commonly known by various names such as laughing gas, cream whips, hippy crack, nos, whippits, or nangs, is a gas that induces a short-lasting euphoric high lasting around 30 seconds. Due to its accessibility, it has gained massive popularity as a recreational drug among Aussie teens. 

And while there are a growing number of Australians using the gas, some are discovering that it can result in severe consequences.

Teenager Molly Day is now facing the harsh reality that she may never walk again after developing an addiction to this substance.

In this episode of The Quicky, we delve into the realm of Nitrous Oxide to explore whether this readily available drug truly provides the safe and enjoyable high that many individuals perceive it to be.
