(I) Fuck with your soul like ether

from Nas – Ether Lyrics on Rap Genius

Ether is a potent anesthetic; it was used to medicate surgery patients in the Olden Days. As a poetic symbol, it is best described by Hunter Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas:

The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge

Nowadays, hardcore potheads sometimes dip their joints in ether before smoking
