I just got about 100ml of lab grade ether, but I do not know what to do with it
I know it can be consumed orally (yuck) or inhaled.
but there doesnt seem to be a dosage guide anywhere.

and also, does anyone know the long term health effects?
 
Can't help you with dosing, but I remember someone else posted about this a year or two ago. The best way to go about it is apparently Fear & Loathing style.

Pour some on a rag and inhale a couple drags and its should hit fast. I wish I remembered Hunter S. Thompson's quote about 'there is nothing more depraved that a man on an ether binge' or something like that.

Be careful not to smoke a cig around that stuff. Wouldn't want you going up in flames now would we.
 
just throw a bit on a rag and huff til you are high as shit. It's easy to titrate, just don't put on a mask (like a painters mask or respirator with it on it or else when you pass out you will just keep inhaling ether and you will die. If you are just doing a rag and you pass out, you'll drop it and start breathing normal air again so you'll be fine.
"dose" is different for everyone so start small and work your way up.
It is also an excellent solvent if you are inclined to extract cannibinoids ever. or clean your dope or something.
 
From the looks of it from fear and loathing that shit seems like a hell of a trip. Id stay away from consuming that stuff oraly. Theres no way that can be good for you.
 
I've used ether before, a friend worked in the labs and got me a big bottle of it. It's not very enjoyable unless you really like inhalants (as others have said, not many people do) and the smell is so strong you can smell it through your entire house.

Pour about a quarter of a shot glass worth onto a shirt at a time and inhale it in little bursts. Be sure to put some air in between huffs or you will get extreme nausea. If you throw up at all stop using it immediately. Don't waste it by pouring out a lot at a time, if you feel a "cold" sensation when you put the shirt up to your nose then you know it's evaporating fast. When the chill goes away it's all gone and you need to re-apply.

Make sure you store it in a lab grade vessel because it will evaporate out of any containers with the slightest non air-tight seal
 
yeah it makes you vomit very easily. they used to have ether parties at the Ivy league medical schools back at the turn of the century. pukefest 1900.
 
Yea i have a friend whose currently going to school to become a doctor but he also works in labs at the school for some money, and we went one night and grabbed the ether out of the fridge and started huffing away through a rag, it actually wasn't nearly as enjoyable as I thought It would be. It took ALOT of huffing to feel much and when I didn feel something it wasn't very impressive. I would say its worth a try but probably not something your gonna fall in love with.
 
I believe that its true that inhalents arent really the most ideal recreational substances to get high off of overall...but if used correctly they can provide a very interesting, pleasurable experience....allthough the experience is more than likely an unhealthy one which should not be repeated too often.

But I personally have huffed butane sprayed into a bag, and felt VERY enjoyable highs similar to marijuana mixed with benzos.....very fun.....but short lived. And I make sure to only do this once every couple weeks at the very most.....usually almost never.
 
the F&L quote btw was:
"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."

&

"Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills. Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it. You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there, you have to give the man two dollars or he won't let you inside. But when you get there, everything goes wrong. Some angry rotarian shoves you and you think "What's happening here? What's going on?" And you hear yourself mumbling... Dogs fucked the Pope... no fault of mine.
Ether is the perfect drug for Las Vegas. In this town they love a drunk. Fresh meat. So they put us through the turnstiles and turned us loose inside. "

This statement is ridiculous. How is anything posted on this site "good for you"?

Ether has been used for hundreds of years as an alcohol substitute and is indeed less toxic when taken orally compared to alcohol.
 
I used Ether before several times. It's the only inhalant drug I've ever used besides Nitrous Oxide, which is, IMO, much more recreational than Ether. I guess it's pretty interesting though, at least to try once or twice.

One or two of the above posters were pretty much right on: Put a small amount on a rag, put it to your face quickly and inhale. Ether evaporates very quickly, so be careful to not waste it. You'll know when its working, and if it isn't, add more and inhale more heavily. It will feel cold until it evaporates.

There is nothing in the world that stinks like Ether either. The smell gets stuck in your sinuses too and lasts for as long as 12-24 hours from what I remember. Don't do it and then go out, or everyone within a hundred foot radius will smell it, though they most likely won't know what it is.

There is a lot of information on this site about reducing harm. People are going to use drugs anyways, so the information we have here can help reduce the amount of negative side effects, overdoses, missed shots, infections, abscesses, etc. that otherwise would occur.

"Good" and "bad" are subjective perceptions, but harm reduction information is good for people. ​

You're telling me this as if I don't already know that...


Point is, orally was the way ether was meant to be taken in the first place, hence the invention of hoffmans drops. Ether isn't one of those drugs which harm reduction really applies to at all, just like alcohol or weed.

Either A: You huff it and cause damage no matter what bullshit you try to do to stay "safe".

Or B: You drink it, (The way it was meant to be taken recreationally) and that's it.

There really aren't a whole lot of methods to do this and try to reduce damage. If someone is stupid enough to smoke around either, then they deserve to get roasted, really. Posting shit like "that isn't good for you" is downright laughable, for 2 reasons: 1, it really isn't that bad for you; 2, you are doing damage to yourself no matter what harm reduction method you use with ANY drug.

That entire original post goes completely against what this forum stands for. Fear and loathing is a movie. You know...NOT REAL. Using a film as the basis to evaluate a drug is just about the dumbest thing you could do.

If you can recommend a safer way to use the drug then surely harm reduction does apply to it?
As it also does to cannabis and alcohol. Allow me to demonstrate:
Eating cannabis is less damaging to the lungs than smoking it in a spliff with tobacco.
It is dangerous to mix alcohol with other CNS depressants.

Do you have a link to the source for your claims about oral vs. inhaled toxicity of ether please?

Dig around in there.
I can guarantee you ingestion is safer than blocking blood to the brain.

Also, no one said anything about combining drugs.

I implore you to find me a "harm reduction" for taking a shot of vodka. Let's be serious, now.

Using different ROA's isn't harm reduction. Harm reduction is shit like using clean needles, and staying sanitized as possible in every situation. You can't say someone doesn't practice harm reduction because they shoot coke instead of snorting it.
