I need any information anybody has on chloroform. Whats it look like, how do I use it on a person to knock them out, is it illegal, is it in the pharmacy for medication I need a perscription for or is it with the tylenol and stuff, whats it really supposed to be used for, and how and where do I buy it.

Using chloroform on someone is, indeed, illegal. I'd hazard a guess that it counts as first degree assault. I don't think you'll find it for sale anywhere, but it can be made with household chemicals. It was origionally used for anaesthetic (invented by Napoleon's surgeon, if I remember correctly).
As for applying it to someone, I don't really know. It was typically administered as gas or vapor, and according to TV you can soak a rag with it and apply it to the peerson's face. Note that using it is dangerous, and can cause death. [ Asc's advice column | Ask Asc A Question ]
