Ether

[EverydayJunglist]

Stay away from it. It's highly volatile and extremely flammable, the vapors are explosive when contained and it's relatively dangerous to inhale - its use as a general anaesthetic for surgery was stopped around the turn of the previous century. If you absolutely MUST try it, please use only laboratory or medical grade ether. The sort used in engine starting fluid may contain dangerous levels of impurities, including potentially carcinogenic petroleum distillates.

thanks beeble,for explaining and enlightening,instead of locking.

Uh, i think starter fluid is petroleum ether.

[andruejaysin]

No, petroleum ether is naptha, starter fluid is diethyl (true) ether. Plus some oils as a minor component. Naptha is also sometimes called mineral spirits.

Yeah, even in Fear and Loathing they rank on it. "There is nothing in the world more irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge," or something like that. Why would you really wanna go in on that?

My bad.

[Beeblebrox.420]

Naptha is also sometimes called mineral spirits.

Correct. This also the same substance used in most wick lighter fuel formulations, such as the one made by Zippo for its lighters.

[andruejaysin]

Lighter fluid also sometimes contains alchohol, is that matters to the use you intend...

I've tried ether. I found starter fluid in my garage. I took a ziplock bag, squirted all of it into the ziplock bag, put water in the ziplock bag...then one of the layers is pretty much pure ether...the other layer is the other minor chemicals and the water. so you let the top or bottom drain out? can't rmemeber which one is the ether.....check erowid for ether experiences..and one guy tells you how to do it. anyways, if you filter it out and drain the right layer off you willbe left with "pure" ether.....and you can put a big on a rag and sniff it......it dissolves quickly if exposed to air so store the ether in something with a top on it so no air can get in. so put some on a rag, you dont need alot....then you sniff it..........and i guess take one deep sniff and SIT DOWN somewhere and see how you feel. ALSO IT"S VERY SMELLY SO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE WILL SMELL IT PLUS IT WILL EXPLODE IF YOUR NOT IN A VENTILATED AREA!!!!! THIS STUFF IS NOT VERY PLEASANT IN MY EXPERIENCE. IT JUST MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN"T MOVE AND MAKES YOU ALL PAINLESS AND STUFF BUT IT"S NOT A GOOD FEELING CUZ YOU CANT REALLY CONTROL IT. THE GOOD THING IS IT GOES AWAY WITHIN 10-20 minutes....SO BE CAREFUL!!!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS SHIT...inhalants are very bad 4 you, and i usually don't give anyone a hard time about any drug...besides it's near impossible for your average stoner to get raw ether

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS KICKS ASS!!!!!
