5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To examine differential acute tolerance development to effects of nitrous oxide in humans.
