A drug dealer who was caught with 'party bags' containing canisters of laughing gas has been jailed.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Thomas Salton has become the first person to be jailed for possessing the drug since it was outlawed last November.
Salton, 30, from Brentwood in Essex, had gift boxes for customers which included nitrous oxide, ketamine, balloons and candy canes.

He was was found with 60 small canisters of the Class C drug, 48 one-gram bags of ketamine and £39,000 in cash when police pulled over his Range Rover on December 1 last year, the CPS said.
Police found a further 408 nitrous oxide cannisters and 965 grams of ketamine at a property Salton was renting 10 miles from his home.
Salton was sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on Monday to 35 months in prison after pleading guilty to possessing nitrous oxide with intent to supply at a hearing last month.
He also admitted possessing ketamine with intent to supply, possession of a class A drug and possessing criminal property, in relation to the cash.
Alex Hinds, a prosecutor for CPS East of England, said: "The evidence against Thomas Salton was overwhelming and this case is an example of all parts of the justice system working together to get drugs and those who sell them off the streets."
"The change in the law coupled with the actions of the police has allowed the CPS to present the strongest case in court and put Thomas Salton out of business and into prison."
"Nitrous oxide is a dangerous drug and hopefully this first conviction will deter those thinking of buying or selling it."
Nitrous oxide, nicknamed "hippy crack", was made a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971
