Abstract

"LAUGHING GAS is the newest thing for kids seeking kicks," the Stanford Daily reports. "They sniff it."So begins a news story in the Los Angeles Times of 26 January 1967. The story continues:"It's the latest way to travel, or so say a growing group of devotees on the campus," the university student paper said. "It can produce much the same effects as psychedelic drugs, they claim, and it's cheaper to obtain.""One student said he buys the gas, nitrous oxide, from a medical supply house. ;They think I am anesthetizing rats,' he explained."Campus medical authorities said the gas, sniffed ;in sufficient amounts... could produce all the states of anesthesia, including the final stage-death.'"

摘要

《斯坦福日报》报道：“笑气是寻求刺激的孩子们的最新玩意儿，”“他们吸食它。” 这是1967年1月26日《洛杉矶时报》一篇新闻报道的开头。报道继续写道：“这是最新的出行方式，至少一群越来越多的校园信徒们这样说，” 这家大学学生报纸称。“他们声称，它能产生与迷幻药大致相同的效果，而且获取成本更低。”“一名学生说他从一家医疗用品店购买这种气体，一氧化二氮。‘他们以为我在给老鼠麻醉，’ 他解释道。”校园医疗当局表示，这种气体 “大量吸食…… 可能会产生所有麻醉状态，包括最后阶段——死亡”。
