What kind of effects would acetone poisoning have on a person? How much acetone would be required in the body to instigate these effects?

Well Acetone's LD50 is 10.7ml/Kg orally in rats.
The LD50 means the dose is lethal to %50 of the subjects tested.
Inhalation of acetone vapours in high concentrations produces dryness of the mouth and throat, dizziness, nausea, uncoordinated movements, loss of coordinated speech, drowsiness and, in extreme case, coma
Acetone is a sensory irritant. Its half-life in the blood is approximately three hours and seems to have no long-term health effects.
As for oral effects below the LD50, i would assume it would cause vomiting as well as the symptoms listed above for inhalation.

You know all that hype about people dying from solvent abuse? Well, acetone is a solvent, and therefore abusing it could lead to a trip to the great paint shop in the sky.

Oh, man, there's no way in bloody hell I'd ever huff solvents. Any inhalants, really, aren't appealing to me. I might try nitrite or ether, ONCE, but no way in hell am I going to erode my brain for a shitty two-minute high. I'm asking because of all the extraction methods involving acetone, and even then out of purely theoretical interest, I don't really have the kind of place where I could do it, anyway.

not trying to be a fucker here, i know alot of the synthesis are for drugs, and that alot of the information right now in chemistry will be about drugs etc, but shouldnt all drug related threads be put in the drug forum? purely because people are going to be going to the drug forum to find these topics, but they are in chemistry...a little confusing for the people who want drug related information

Covert Op is no longer mod here. He dissapeared a while back. Not to long after RancidPunk found out how much he was really hated... I think they were friends in real life...
