My friends and I got our hands on some when I was in high school and one of us was dumb enough to try it voluntarily. It worked, but it took a lot longer than it does on TV.
@@shanjidahossain5279 Mike was that kid that will inhale or eat or insert anything for a laugh. He actually tried it because he'd seen it on TV and wanted to know if it was true. He took 4-5 giant huffs of Fisher technical grade chloroform, and after like 30-60 seconds he was about to say that it wasn't doing anything to him... then he got all wobbly, took a few steps, and collapsed against a table and broke a bunch of the glassware we'd also stolen from the chemistry lab. He also woke up almost immediately after. :D The bottle said carcinogen and none of us thought it was worth repeating the experiment. I think that unless you're physically able to overpower someone and keep them there for at least a minute without being interrupted, it won't work as an abduction aid.
It takes like 3 big inhales till you feel it. Your fingers start to tingle and you get lightheaded. If you inhale for longer, you kinda get this vertigo like sensation and feel weak, like you cant really lift your arms/legs and for me it acually make my vision lag, like you turn your head and the view lags behind for like half second. And then you just pass out for few seconds. Its kinda boring and very unhealthy. The hungover is smaller than the one from ether and it also is not so obvious on your breath.
So if chloroform takes around 5 mins to knock someone out then movie/show/book scenes involving chloroform could either be 5 mins of comedic drunk-like antics or 5 mins of psychological suspense.
I believe it works by blocking the calcium channels in nerve cells and neurons which slows down the central nervous system. But it is potentially carcinogenic. Diethyl Ether however is highly flammable.
Chloroform does not smell like acetone even a little bit. Its more like Dichloromethane, Diethylether, Dioxane. Even hexane has a more similar smell than acetone. Thats like comparing the taste of grapes and lemons.
When i was a kid sometimes i caught skunks in traps , i read you could fix a syringe full of this stuff on a long stick and give him night night without getting sprayed . Never got to try it
You make it yourself, it's quite easy. 50 parts bleach (standard household 7.5% bleach) to 1 part acetone, chill the ingredients in a freezer for one to two hours before mixing (or the reaction will overheat/boil, but don't let it ice over either, you want it just barely above freezing temp) in a glass beaker or large glass pitcher with strong stirring as you slowly add in the acetone. And add in a half dozen cubes of ice as well (wait until you're done stirring, the cubes get in the way of your spoon). After mixing thoroughly, cover the lid with aluminum foil and let it sit for a few hours at room temp. Once the two-three hours are over you'll notice a thin oily looking layer at the bottom of the container, that's your chloroform, which is more dense than water. You can get a little more to crash out of solution by adding about a quarter cup of salt per gallon of bleach, once the solution has warmed to room temp so the salt will dissolve. After stirring to dissolve all the salt let it sit for another hour or two to fully settle out. Once that wait is over, pour off/decant the top layer of water into a sink (rinse the sink really well after you're done) until you get close to the chloroform layer, then get a smaller glass container and pour the entire contents into it, at which point you repeat the process until you've minimized the water layer on top. Once you've got most of the water out you can use an absorbent cloth like a paper towel and just barely touch the surface of the very thin water layer to suck it up to expose the chloroform. Voila, you now have chloroform. Store in a brown glass bottle in a fridge for no more than a couple months, if any longer you need to spike it with about 3-5% pure ethanol to prevent phosgene gas production (the stuff is farking _deadly)._ That's the cheap and dirty way though, ideally you just use a separatory funnel to isolate the chloroform from the water layer. Taking things a step further, you can run a distillation, and/or add in a drying agent like dehydrated magnesium sulfate/oven-baked Epsom salt to pull out the remaining water (chloroform can dissolve a very small amount of water into itself)
Bait and switch. You talk about everything BUT how long it takes. And how long it takes depends on the concentration in the air. It's not universal. So there is no answer to your question because it is a poorly worded question. Especially for a science channel. The effects of a medicine and the time to peak plasma concentration is different depending on how much medicine you give, how quickly and the individual's metabolism. No two people will react the exact same to a drug. Some might act similarly. Some very much so. But not always. And this video just perpetuates that myth.
3:00 for the answer
Geez thank you lol
Fbi I swear I'm just curious
fbi i swear i’m just a writer
That's why I'm here too lol
Bruh same😂
Hahaha took the words out my mouth
Yeahhhh, same! (Totally)
"Research"
My friends and I got our hands on some when I was in high school and one of us was dumb enough to try it voluntarily. It worked, but it took a lot longer than it does on TV.
Can u tell me how long did it actually take?

@@stickyfox tnx for ur reply🙂
i jus got a hangover
it didnt knock or put me out but thats normal for me a high tolerance. just relaxed me that is all. not desirable or recomended. zero recreational
Ok guess I'll just beat them unconscious

@@ingensvidcz5390 chloroform is also Carcinogenic so best avoided.
I literally lol'd at your honesty here. Hope you're staying clean.@@ingensvidcz5390
very accurate description of chloroforms effects
So if chloroform takes around 5 mins to knock someone out then movie/show/book scenes involving chloroform could either be 5 mins of comedic drunk-like antics or 5 mins of psychological suspense.
At that point, holding the rag over their mouth and nose is doing more work
they don't use that in movies, it's another product
If I’m ever in a person who’s put in a situation I wanna know how long to hold my breath while breaking out of this situation if I’m able too
I just had a stroke reading your comment.
@@vr6g608gotta work on your reading comprehension then!
I don’t think that how it work, when someone approached you with chloroform on ur face, human instinct is to panic. It’s over.
The education system has failed you lol
24 children died reading your comment
I’m prob on a watchlist now because I wanted to know if movies are faker lol
FBI i swear im not a threat no crosses count
I swear I’m just seeing how accurate Hollywood is! Community fans here too??

Ok. But, does it help with insomnia?
When you just want to be right in a conversation but you end up on a watchlist
I have insomnia and depression this is perffeecctttttt
😮
i dont even know why im here
I watched the whole thing thinking you were going to demonstrate at the end
I made chloroform and I mix it in my alcohol to give it a little kick
i accidently smelled it this might be the last time i ever comment
I'm just here for science
Here because that video of the guy doing it to himself makes me laugh
It isnt too bad, it worked very well for an O chem solvent when doing oxidations and halogenations.
Is there a sleeping pill in the form of a liquid? If it is in the form of a liquid, can it be added to a person's tea or water?
No
Looking for info on liver damage from chloroform, specifically necrosis
When i was a kid sometimes i caught skunks in traps , i read you could fix a syringe full of this stuff on a long stick and give him night night without getting sprayed . Never got to try it
FBI I swear I’m just educating myself
How long until theyre buried inside the grave?
I'm here because I'm a curious psychopaths fr fr
Fbi i swear i was curious
FBI or not, we're just here for the science :)
FBI I swear it's for my Chemistry exam
How do i get my hands on some?

So, did we find out "How Long It Takes For Chloroform To Make A Person Unconscious?" .................................... N O !
Well got to change my story oy point now.
Does anyone remember those little glass vials at headshops in the late 70s called locker room or rush? Sounds like the same stuff..
No more swimming pools for me😊
FBI I just watch a movie and needed to see if it was that quick I swear
Simpson looks like Gerard Depardieu.
fbi, I'm a curious dude
Stay hungry, stay curious 🙃
FYI I just want to go know how to fight if this ever happens to me
I’m here because I just saw a bleach and rubbing alcohol warning
FBI i swear, im just a serial killer.
FBI im just here for research 🙌
FBI i swear i don't care what you think honestly this is America i shouldn't be scared of you
fbi i swear im just a meme reposter
I know a lady here that a guy tried to knock her out with this 😮
Bleach & rubbing alcohol creates this if anyone wanted to know. 😂
FBI I was just watching ace Ventura when he used chloroform on a Miami dolphins player so I was curious
im actually just a writer ok 😭
fbi im js a writer i write in my writing journal that is all
Here at DNI we think you for your corporation
I was right. The whole Hollyweird Chloroform on a Rag was complete B.S.
Hey FBI Guy, did you know that? Now you do.
After what I watched… I was curious. Meow.
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but you're just purr-plexed! 🐱
Fbi i swear im a writer
We-can buy this
Fbi im just curious, not a serial killer, dont me judge me
It keeps coming up in 1800s English mystery podcast
Good video for real
Jd intinya nya cloform bisa buat org pingsang ga
Bisa,kalau diatas 5 menit...tpi 5 menit kelamaan hahahahaha
Just shudnt be on the internet tbh
This was in my recommended I’m just curious fbi
Fbi i promise im just curious
We made the LIST…..lol…..
Good job on making the list... of people who think chloroform works like in the movies 😂
I know someone who tried it on her

Cheer~~~~a colorless, volatile, sweet-smelling liquid used as a solvent and formerly as a general anesthetic.😊
Science!
Fbi me too
7 kidnapping
reput at ion
Nap time!
the people at 0:56 to 1:15 look creepy
Lol
Chloroform takes minutes to work, not seconds.
Creepy ✅️
