Nitrogen Narcosis
Nitrogen narcosis develops with an increase in nitrogen partial pressure, typically at approximately 100 feet / 30 meters. At this depth, nitrogen becomes dissolved in the lipids of the neurons, which interferes with signal transmission from neuron to neuron. Being "Narced" feels very much like being drunk. (See Martiniâs Law).
