The original poster (antisol?) also mentioned that it is
legal.  Take a look at
<prc-wwwserv.idap.indiana.edu/pubs/factline/inhal.html>
and see otherwise:

----------
It is also a class B misdemeanor to distribute nitrous oxide
for the purpose of producing intoxication.

Amyl nitrite and certain forms of nitrous oxide are "legend"
drug under Indiana law. That means only licensed
practitioners (such as physicians, dentists or pharmacists)
may dispense them. Therefore, sale of a legend drug is
illegal unless it is dispensed by a pharmacist upon a
prescription or drug order.

It is the crime of "maintaining a common nuisance" under
Indiana law for any person knowingly to maintain or visit a
place (such as a store, shop, warehouse, home or vehicle)
used by that person or any other person for unlawful use or
sale of any legend drug.
----------

This site only mentions the law in Indiana, but I can assure
you that, at least in the USA, the law is common to most, if
not all states.

Anyway, not that law ever really stops anybody from this
sort of thing, but I figure at least he should know what
he's getting into (which is why he asked, and for that I
can certainly grant some respect).
