Default West coast nitrous sting

Just heard about this today: Feds raid 17 California businesses for nitrous oxide | Fox News



I went into SoCal speed shop today and asked if they refilled nitrous bottles. They guy said yes but the feds came and seized bottles and refill stations from all the Las Vegas suppliers. Not sure how true it is but is it going to be a pain in the *** to get bottles filled from now on?

It's like going to the dentist with out the regulator lol, couldn't imagine now days though because they usually put sulfur in it when it's for automotive use. But when I was in school all of it was medical grade. Was it stupid? yes, but I'm sure we all did stuff that wasn't brilliant in our teenage years
