Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is a short-acting dissociative that primarily exerts its effects through antagonistic action at the NMDA receptor. It is used medically as an anesthetic and analgesic. Recreationally, it can lead to short-term dissociative states and euphoric effects. Risks particularly arise from oxygen deprivation and neurological damage with frequent or excessive use.
