The researchers found that administering the gas helped reduce depressive symptoms in as little as two hours. Relief was relatively short-lived, with symptoms returning within the week unless the dose was repeated.

"This study brings together the best possible evidence indicating that nitrous oxide has the potential to provide swift and clinically significant short-term improvements in patients with severe depression," says clinical psychologist Kiranpreet Gill, from the University of Birmingham.

Well, actually, yes, but try to do it responsibly and (or) use low risk drugs.

Ecstasy (as long as it's MDMA or something like that and not mixed with a lot of speed) and laughing gas are actually really low risk drugs. So are shrooms and LSD.

I've done 14/20.

I do appreciate your information posts as a fellow explainer and source-provider.

Hey, I haven't looked at your history or know anything about you beyond these two posts, but how'd you like to help mod this place?

I've got !Independent_Media@lemmy.today too, if you prefer something classier.

Sounds good man, happy to help.

And very nicely taken as a fellow explainer indeed, sometimes people think I'm like mansplaining to people who I know already know most of the things I'm saying, but nah, it's just good, especially when discussing drugs, to be on the safe side to avoid misunderstandings.

I've got gaydar for mansplainations as an angry feminist. You're good.

I will do absolutely no background check. Welcome to the team. Post more drug stuff if you like, I'm always looking for articles on popular pubmed and APA reports.

Haha!

Alright sounds good. I usually do end up talking drugs even when I don't mean to, so I very probably will yeah.

Thanks and have a nice day/night.
