I would think suboxone would block it’s effects, but apparently not! Very interesting. Maybe if they figure out why sub doesn’t block it, it would lead to some very important discoveries about opiate receptors!

It is used in some parts of the world to treat alcohol and other addictions (NO2 in South Africa). Humans react very differently to it, as do various other species. It causes dopamine release, but blocks the dopamine release of amphetamines. Very interesting reading! Wiki page for NO2

Nitrous has a v. different action to opioid drugs. It may affect opioid receptors, but that’d be just a small part of what it does. I used a lot of bulbs as a teen, and it’s surprisingly strong. I’d do a double shot, and experience the world and me dissolve to nothing for what felt days or months … When only 30 seconds had passed. The only thing I could compare it to would be … ketamine maybe?

It is a dissociative like Ketamine, PCP, or DXM.
