Nitrous oxide is a very common inhalational anesthetic that offers analgesia, anxiolysis, and sometimes amnesia. It's a colorless, non-flammable gas with a slightly sweet taste.
Due to its euphoric and hysterical effects, the substance is also called "laughing gas." It's been a recreational drug since the late 1700s and is currently one of the most common inhalants.
N2O is also used in the food and automobile industries, such as in whipped cream canisters and as an engine booster.
There are some mechanistic effects that make the gas concerning when large amounts are used.

The Drug Classroom (TDC) is dedicated to providing the type of drug education everyone should have. Drugs are never going to leave our society and there has never been a society free from drugs.
Therefore, it only makes sense to provide real education free from propaganda.
TDC doesn't advocate drug use. Rather, we operate with the intention of reducing the harm some substances can bring.
