Right behind you.....
I had another experience with diethyl ether recently, I don't see many ether trip reports, so I think some expanding of the literature is sorely in order.

About 50ml (one of the largest amouts I have taken) of synthesized distilled diethyl ether was placed into a plastic 2 liter coke bottle (the rag method is inadequate, as the ether evaporates needlessly), and 10ml was poured into a vodka and coke and chugged down the hatch.

I could feel a slight tingling in my fingertips within seconds of a few inhalations, the all-too-familiar creeping numbness starting from the chest, and moving in all directions slowly outwards, continued inhalations produced ever growing dissociation, and a peculiar sort of mental hallucination, that is almost utterly devoid of visual activity, instead consisting of racing thoughts, great enhancement of music, and ease of conversation, as I was at the time, conversing with a friend via MSN.

I decided to put on some music, all heavy stuff, or melodic/operatic black metal, such as Kittie, Skrewdriver, Mudvayne, Draconian and A Perfect Circle, which seemed to fit adequately with the dissociative trippy headspace as provided by ether intoxication.

At the time, although I almost never take alcohol, I decided it would be a good idea to mix up a cocktail of 1/2 of a halfpint mug of vodka, 20ml of ether and topped it off with coke (the drink, I know what most BL'ers think on reading the word "coke":\ ), normally, I abhor the taste of spirits, but due to the ether, my entire body was numbed, so I managed to down the entire mug in one without feeling any but the slightest trace of the fierce ethanolic vitriol that is cheap vodka, some slight degree of stomach discomfort was felt in a short time, but that was mild and transient, merely stomach fullness due to the CO2 in the carbonated coke, misinterpreted by my body as nausea, probably because of the ingested ether numbing the stomach walls somewhat.

It is quite a strange feeling, being pissed out of one's cranial cavity for the first time in the best part of 2 years, and stranger still, is the feeling of being pissed as a skunk, whilst simultaneously intoxicated on diethyl ether, flying around in one's own mind, nevertheless, an enjoyable feeling, which continued on for several hours, after which, I slept soundly (the entire thing was done alone, starting at around 12am)

The funny thing was, throughout the entire intoxication, it felt that time was passing as extremely slowly, like I had been high as shit for the best part of half a day or so, but upon retiring for the night, a glance at my watch made it known, that the time was only 3.30, so much experience, condensed into a few hours, yet it felt like days had passed.
 
interesting report on a fairly obscure substance.

have you ever ingested the ether orally without inhaling and/or combininng it with alcohol?
 
why are you listening to skrewdriver? are you racist or you just think its interesting?
 
^
yeah this guy thinks hitler was a genius

ey but limpet i think ether is hardly a trip , it's nice but just a downer

do a search for juden and this guy's name will pop up on all threads lol
 
Ether has a little more than plain downer effects, it acts as a dissociative, feels slightly similar, although removed from, that intoxication provided by prolonged continuous inhalation of nitrous oxide. In my experience with it, ether has always had a strongly dissociative effect.

As for skrewdriver, I only ever listen to two songs by them, I cant stand the redneck-type music they make for the most part.
 
yes i agree it's has this dissasociativeness too althoug not close to the real ones imo

it has this nangy or butane like beginning of the high when huffed i always get this weird sound like weee-weee-wee
 
Farm grade is otc over here i was shocked when i found out , and it really is pretty addictive , i often end up doing it as soon as i get it and at a certain point you're just walking down the street with these toxic smelling fumes around you while clutching a rag to your mouth.
 
It is piss easy to make and distil your own, and not even illegal in the UK as far as I know of, simple distillation of anhydrous ethanol and concentrated sulfuric acid, I.E the Williamson ether synthesis.
 
Yes, interesting concept i'll say that much.

I'm not sure i'd want to deliberately consume DEE. I remember one time I was doing an xperiment, and the water was not going through the condenser properly. I think I must have huffed quite alot because for a while I could feel the anesthetic effects and thought that I was gonna passout. This faded quite soon after, and then I was left wondering if I overreacted. It does seem weird consuming ether but if people will consume ethanol without thinking twice then there cant be anything that badly wrong with it. It seems like an almost old fashioned thing to do. Slightly grandpa-ish
 
Well I am 19, so I am getting on a bit now=D

Perhaps my pre-teenage years of huffing dibromomethane and DCM made me a little senile.
 
Well its one of my favourite drugs, so as soon as I get/make some more, more trip reports comin' right up:)
