Cyclopropane (C3H6) is a highly flammable, colourless and slightly sweet smelling non toxic hydrocarbon gas formerly used as a general anaesthetic. However, due to its explosive nature, combined with the increasing roles of potential ignition sources e.g. electronic equipment like scanners and lasers in surgery, it has been completely abandoned.
Putting its flammability aside, it was considered an excellent anaesthetic. Below are listed some of its advantages:
Very lipid soluble but insoluble in blood
rapid onset and offset of deep anaesthesia and quick recovery
non irritating to the air ways at any concentration.
It would be interesting to know if anyone has tried cyclopropane, either given in a hospital, which is highly unlikely, or recreationally. I know it’s a dangerous substance due to being so flammable, but if handled properly, and used only in a well ventilated room, away from flames and electricity, and only with another sober sensible adult to supervise the user, I believe it might be a pleasant inhalant. One could experiment with sub anaesthetic doses of the gass, that is by filling a plastic bag with cyclopropane, than take a small breath from the bag followed by a large breath of fresh air. Repeat the process until you feel some affects, if you pass out, lower your dose or stop using. General anaesthesia is quite riski and is likely no fun at all since there’s little to experience or remember. Also, prolonged anaesthesia with cyclo can cause irregular heart beats upon awakening due to sensitisation of heart muscle cells to circulating epinephrine.
What do you all think of this substance?
despite the fire/explosion hazards does it have any recreational value?
