What is hippy crack and is it illegal?

Nitrous Oxide, better known as hippy crack was first synthesised in 1772, had been used for centuries as a pain killer by dentists and doctors during childbirth.

As well as medicine, Nitrous Oxide can be used by ‘boy racers’ to dramatically increase the horsepower of their cars. 

The use of Nitrous Oxide as a ‘legal high’ was outlawed under the Psychoactive Substances Act which came into force in May 2016.

Sellers of ‘hippy crack’ for recreational use were warned they faced up to seven years in prison under a Government crackdown on legal highs  

The Psychoactive Substances Act banned any substance that can affect a person’s mental functioning or emotional state by stimulating or depressing their central nervous system. 

Some substances – including caffeine, alcohol, prescribed medicines, tobacco and chocolate – are exempt from the ban.

The two key tests for prosecutors is whether it has ‘psychoactive’ effect and secondly if it exempted for medical reasons. 

The tumble caught the attention to two police officers, who made their way over to speak to Rafferty and his friends as they continued using balloons. 

MailOnline has contacted Rafferty’s representatives for comment.     

Meanwhile, Rafferty is the eldest son of socialite Sadie Frost and actor Jude Law who were married between 1997 and 2003. 

He has become a regular on the front row during fashion week season and signed to modelling agency Select Model Management back in 2014.

He has modeled for Timberland and Dolce & Gabbana, as well as Dior.  The rising star  – who plays the guitar, piano, bass, drums and keyboard – is a big fan of clubbing and DJs in his spare time.

He was formerly in the band The Dirty Harrys along with his best friend Marley, son of Pulp’s bassist Steve Mackey.
