‘There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference.’
William James, the “Father of American psychology,” getting all Immanuel Kant on us, writing under the influence about nitrous oxide, itself a lightweight version of ether
“One nineteenth-century observer wrote that ether had “long been the toy of professors and students,” and noted that “the students at Cambridge [Harvard] used to inhale sulphuric ether from their handkerchiefs, and that it intoxicated them, making them reel and stagger.”

I tried it twice in my youth, once in Austin in 1988 on a walkway in a high rise on West 24th street, and once with a medical student walking up and down 51st street in NYC.
I would grade it as something dirtier and lesser than Ketamine, and more than nitrous oxide. If you must try (and good luck finding it), the most important thing is to hide all matches, lighters, and to be safe, vapes.
It must be done outside. You will reek within 100 yards.
