Medical use
It was once used in pharmaceuticals. A mixture of alcohol and ether was known as "Spirit of ether" or Hoffman's Drops. In the United States, it was removed from Pharmacopeia prior to June 1917.[20]

Recreational use
See also: Addiction to ether consumption
The anesthetic effects of ether have made it a recreational drug. Diethyl ether in anesthetic dosage is an inhalant which has a long history of recreational use. One disadvantage is the high flammability, especially in conjunction with oxygen. One advantage is a well-defined margin between therapeutic and toxic doses, which means one would lose consciousness before dangerous levels of dissolved ether in blood would be reached. With a strong, dense smell, ether causes irritation to respiratory mucosa and is uncomfortable to breathe, and in overdose triggering salivation, vomiting, coughing or spasms. In concentrations of 3–5% in air, an anesthetic effect can slowly be achieved in 15–20 minutes of breathing approximately 15–20 ml of ether, depending on body weight and physical condition. Ether causes a very long excitation stage prior to blacking out.

In the 19th century and early 20th century ether drinking was popular among Polish peasants.[21] It is a traditional and still relatively popular recreational drug among Lemkos.[22] It is usually consumed in a small quantity (kropka, or "dot") poured over milk, water with sugar or orange juice in a shot glass.

Yea, I know its backwards. But I just wanted to check out an episode and started with Season 2. I knew the premise well, so it wasn't hard for me to follow. Regardless, I'm hooked. And I'm bout to binge watch SEASON 1 dvd tonight. Amazon just delivered.

Not guilty, y'all got to feel me :blessed:. Cleary coming through for Harriet, had a bed and meal ready for her as soon as she got out the joint. That's a true friend and the way he was talking to those ladies “I doubt you was letting penniless shine boys put the bat in the cave.” :mjlol:

Props to Cornelia for helping out as well, she needs to be careful playing Nancy Drew though. Somebody is watching her, either Pervy Father-in-law hired someone to keep tabs on her or whoever killed the health inspector.

Was that Beth from TWD that Henry was taking pics of :ohhh:

My man Bertie or should I say "Tom, Thomas, Tom" becoming a man :lolbron:. He might need to go ahead and reunite with Cocaine Thack in order to save his mother. Jew doctor is preaching patience while Thack is throwing bishes in the oven in order to find cures :bryan:.

Opal :noah:. Britain has some fine women, Gugu Mbatha-Raw still has my no 1 spot in the power rankings, but Zaraah Abrahams is creeping up the list.

He has to...they're the only hospital reckless enough to try to save his mother.

Oh shyt good point I didn't even think about that :ohhh:

Yeah, just compare how Algernon and Thackery beat syphilis in a week by taking insane risks while Zion-berg was on some 'Well, there's no full-proof procedure yet, so I guess you should prepare the funeral' shyt.
