Anesthetics: General anesthetics are controlled substances that are usually supplied as liquids, to be vaporized in anesthesia machines. Ether and chloroform are liquids that may be used to saturate a cloth and could be used to cover one's nose and mouth. This is dangerous and should not be attempted.

No: This can only be obtained illegally unless you are a physician.

Why would you? In the wake of Michael Jackson, seems like an incredible thing to contemplate.
