Nitrous Oxide (also known as dinitrogen monoxide and oxodiazen-2-ium-1-ide), is a dissociative. It's also used, at high doses, as an anesthetic. This post will go through the simplest method to synthesizing this substance.
Pharmacokinetics:
Biological Half-life: 5 minutes
Excretion: Respiratory
Metabolism: 4*10^-3% (0.004%)
Reagents:
- Ammonium Nitrate
Glassware / Other Materials Needed:
- Blowtorch
- Test tube
- Balloon
Note that this method does not produce 100% pure N2O, as one of the side products is water. However, this does not pose a threat to the health of the user.
Synthesis:
Ammonium nitrate decomposes into N2O and water at 210°C [410°F]. The rxn is as follows:
NH4NO3 → N2O + 2 H2O
Why the materials? The test tube contains the ammonium nitrate to be heated, blowtorch to heat up the ammonium nitrate, and finally, since N2O is a gas, we want to store
it somewhere, thus, the balloon.
This may be overreacting, but be careful when doing this procedure.

!!!!WARNING!!!!
Ammonium nitrate is notorious for being able to cause explosions. For example, the 2020 Beirut explosion (2750 tons, approx. 2494758kg of ammonium nitrate was NOT SECURED properly).This may be overreacting, but be careful when doing this procedure.
