Hey buddy, I hope all is well. I was wondering if you may be able to do a piece on Nitrous Oxide. There seems to be loads of confusion about the harmfulness of it and even how it interacts with our brain. It also does the most wild thing with psychedelics (4-ACO-DMT and Nitrous anyone?). I would love to know how it interacts with them and any possible harm it can cause. Also love to know more about the right balance because there seems to be knack to mixing them with oxygen to get the proper effects. :) Thanks n peace.

Ive been researching Ken Kesey’s private collection letters from his participation at the Stanford Va Hospital drug experience in Menlo Park 1960-1961. The special collections department at the University of Oregon holds all the Letters Kesey wrote to his best friend Ken Babbs during these drug experiments at the Stanford VA hospital Research program in Menlo park run by Dr. Leo Hollister. He tells Babbs detailed reports about his experiences on Drugs like AMT, LSD, Psilocybin, Mescaline, Ditran and some truly obscure molecules listed by three sets of different lettered Acronym’s. The EA-series, the JB-series & the IT-series drugs.

I looked into what these acronyms represented & found out EA is simply Experimental Agent (not Edgewood Arsenal) initially I couldn’t figure out the JB acronym so I asked Jay Stevens if he knew what JB represented. He thought it represented molecules that NASA was interested in looking at. I recently discovered what that JB acronym stands means. Its a Chemist, the initials of his first & last name--the JB series stands for Chemist ‘John Biel’ who Hollister knew very well. IT likely represents investigational Tryptamine, though I could be off on that.

Thought I would share this tid bit of info.
