Non-metal nitride
Non-metal nitrides are a chemical class of simple inorganic compounds composed of nitrogen combined with other non-metallic elements, rather than organic carbon-based scaffolds. Their structures are small molecules rather than elaborate ring systems. The family's psychoactive representative is a nitrogen-oxygen gas that acts as a dissociative anaesthetic, producing brief euphoria and analgesia when inhaled. Their simple inorganic composition sets them apart from the organic families described elsewhere.
