According to the Voice of OC, the Orange County Board of Supervisors has voted unanimously to ban the sale of whippets in unincorporated parts of the county.

Studies show, however, inhaling nitrous oxide can cause serious harm, such as brain damage, hypoxia, and even prove fatal.
What Are Looper Whips?
Looper Whips are a line of whipped cream chargers that contain nitrous oxide. They come in a variety of flavors and are marketed as containing larger amounts of nitrous oxide gas than other tanks. They are sold in 1-liter cylinders, which hold 615 grams. Users need a pressure-releasing valve to allow the N2O gas to flow from the cartridge. A frequent supplier of the whipped cream cylinder is L&K Distribution (Lock & Key Distribution) in California. Looper Whips are available for purchase through online retailers such as Amazon and at various smoke and vape shops throughout the country.
Popular flavors of Looper Whips:
- Original
- Tropical Punch
- Mango
- Sour Blue Raspberry
- Sour Strawberry
- Sour Watermelon
- Strawberry Kiwi
Looper Whips packaging is brightly colored and distinctive with the name prominently displayed on the front box and “whips” featured in a whimsical font. The N2O charger tank is able to be sold due to its designation as a culinary product. However, Looper Whips chargers are known to be misused for inhaling or huffing.
Looper Whips also sell a range of THC and cannabinoid products, such as vape pen cartridges, pre-rolls, gummies, and other products. These products are available through their site, the Looperverse.
What Are Looper Whips Used For?
Looper Whips is sold as a culinary product. The whipped cream canisters are sold in various flavors and are widely available online and at local vape and smoke shops due to their labeling as a food item.
While nitrous oxide cylinders, including those sold by Looper, can be used to whip cream when they are “cracked” and pressure is released, they are also frequently misused for inhaling. Inhaling nitrous oxide can give a person a euphoric sensation. However, it can also cause oxygen deprivation, brain damage, and other potentially life-threatening injuries.
Lawsuits against the manufacturer of Looper Whips allege that the company knew how the product was being misused and marketed it for that purpose instead of a safe culinary purpose.
Why Are Teens and Kids Drawn to Using Looper Whips?

It is believed that teens and kids may be drawn to the drug because of its initial affordability and widespread availability. Looper Whips and other small nitrous products have few regulations. The study calls for stricter regulations, including restrictions on age, licensing requirements, and online sales monitoring.
Why Are People Suing Looper Whips?
The manufacturer and distributor of Looper Whips could be sued after individuals experienced serious side effects after using the company’s chargers recreationally. It is alleged the makers knew of the intentional misuse of the product and failed to warn consumers about the potential for severe harm, including brain damage and death.
