Michigan has a problem with whippets. Brought to the front of the collective mind after that gigantic fire and explosion in Clinton Township - Michigan has passed new laws to begin to deal with the personal dangers of inhaling nitrous oxide, as well as to the community by those who sell them. This is an important issue in the city of Detroit, the Metro Detroit region, and the state. On your Daily Detroit, we unpack it a bit. The dangers. The misconceptions, and what a local group is trying to do get tens of thousands of left behind empty canisters off the streets. Joining us is Laura Chavez of the Southwest Detroit Business Association to talk about what they’re dealing with on the streets of the city.
