A protest of about 100 people gathered in front of the Houses of Parliament and simultaneously inhaled nitrous oxide. The demonstration was to show opposition to the psychoactive substances bill which would make any mood altering drug illegal. The protesters claimed it is about the right to have control over your mind and body. I'm not sure if they made their point or not since they pretty much erupted in fits of laughter after the inhalation. Laughter is fun and good and nitrous oxide is pretty much free of side effects but it seems to me that they really didn't offer up anything that would sway a vote one way or another even though I tend to agree with their effort.
