What are the effects of abusing ether?

Do you mean other than death or brain damage?\n\nHere's a little quote:\n"Unwanted effects of exposure to ether can include a cough, sore throat, painful red eyes, a headache, drowsiness, laboured breathing and nausea. Vomiting is quite common. But some people like its sub-anaesthetic effects on consciousness; it has "abuse potential"." (1)\n\nIt is also very flammable. I would say explosively so, more than gasoline. Careless/sedated person + ether = possible BOOM! It's not safe to fool around with from this standpoint.

Yes prolonged use of it will cause problems at work. You won't be able to perform your duties properly after awhile of being on that stuff it will start to show,you will be paranoid all the time and always think someone is out to get you,especially when you see a police officer. It can wreck your home life, your friends won't want to hang out with you anymore. Don't try it!! 1 time and your hooked, if you have already tried it seek help asap. It leaves sores on your body and people will be able to tell have used it.

Well the obvious is that you will damage something and not feel it.  An overdose can cause a heart attack even in young guys.  Its used by some people to prolong the sexual act by decreasing the guy's sensitivity.

Yes.  20 years ago I manipulated someone using magic and it worked very well at first.  But the effects scarred me for life and I still remember that pain.  Never again.  Had I known then what would happen, I would've never,ever considered it.

ecstasy, is a synthetic entactogen of the phenethylamine family whose primary effect is to stimulate the secretion of and inhibit the re-uptake of large amounts of serotonin as well as dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain, causing a general sense of openness, empathy, energy, euphoria, and well-being. Tactile sensations are enhanced for some users, making general physical contact with others more pleasurable; but, contrary to popular mythology it generally does not have aphrodisiac effects.\n\nshort-term effects\n\nApart from the dangers from impurities, the primary acute risks of taking MDMA are allergic reaction, which is extremely rare, and dehydration. Like amphetamine, MDMA can mask the body's normal thirst and exhaustion responses, particularly if a user is dancing or is otherwise physically active for long periods of time without hydration. MDMA can temporarily reduce the body's ability to regulate its core temperature, and in high-temperature surroundings (e.g. clubs) combined with physical exertion this may lead to hyperpyrexia if precautions are not taken to remain cool. While dehydration is undesirable, there also have been a very small number of users overly concerned about hydration drinking excessive water and suffering from water intoxication and associated hyponatremia (dilution of the blood that can cause swelling of the brain). This is what caused the death of British teen Leah Betts, which may be the world's most widely publicised MDMA-related fatality.\n\nSome users also report decreased libido or impotence; however, studies have had conflicting results\n\nSystemic effects\n\nOther effects include:\n\n    * Pupil dilation with attendant photosensitivity and color perception\n    * Jaw clenching or bruxism ("gurning" or "grinding")\n    * Shutter vision (nystagmus)\n    * General restlessness\n    * Loss of appetite/taste sensation changes\n    * Lack of focus / concentration\n    * Tingling\n    * Sweaty palms\n    * Increased heart rate\n\nVisit the link below to see the slide which displays how ecstacy affects your brain

Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, collapsed veins, and, particularly in users who inject the drug, infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. The short-term effects of heroin abuse appear soon after a single dose and disappear in a few hours. After an injection of heroin, the user reports feeling a surge of euphoria ("rush") accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, a dry mouth, and heavy extremities. Following this initial euphoria, the user goes "on the nod," an alternately wakeful and drowsy state. Mental functioning becomes clouded due to the depression of the central nervous system. Long-term effects of heroin appear after repeated use for some period of time. Chronic users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, cellulitis, and liver disease. Pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia, may result from the poor health condition of the abuser, as well as from heroin’s depressing effects on respiration. Heroin abuse during pregnancy and its many associated environmental factors (e.g., lack of prenatal care) have been associated with adverse consequences including low birth weight, an important risk factor for later developmental delay.

the main side effect is tachycardia which is rapid heartbeat. Go to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002636.htm#Symptoms for advice if you have such a patient, and as soon as possible.

If it is a school project, go through the department chair to have them obtain the supplies for you, and give you the proper supervision.\n\nIt would raise the eyebrows of the authorites to do otherwise, as hexane could be used in meth production just like ether.\n\nIt is an explosion hazard similiar to ether, a proper lab at school is the place to use this.
