I still remember being lined up for inspection Sunday mornings, with extra close inspection for Easter. ---

If you live in a state where it is legal you may want to check out medical marijuana. Many people find it to be an extremely effective remedy for their insomnia. ---

> [@Washoe](#): > > _Really_? Even in large doses (like four BD equivalents)? That’s very unusual. Have you tried etizolam? Or phenibut? I bet the two of them together could knock you on your ass for 2 days straight. My problem doesn’t bother me that much so I didn’t go to a doctor. And the strongest BD I could get without prescription was Alprazolam. Large doses didn’t work either. Don’t know about the other ones you named. Maybe they’re sold under other names in my country. > [@](#): > > If you live in a state where it is legal you may want to check out medical marijuana.

Where on this holy globe do you live where Xanax is sold over the counter and booze is illegal? Are you telling me that 2.0 milligrams of alprazolam would not knock you out? :eek: ---

I’ve been trippin’ on the 'Tonin for about two months now. It really works for me to send me to the quiet happy place while I’m winding down at night but the dreams are freakin WILD. I had a yearlong courtship with Abed from Community. Not the actor, the character. I remember asking him why his head bobbed around like a bird. “It’s a very interesting story . . .” And then we were kissing, but I was concerned because had such stiff movements and I really really wanted it to work out but I just wasn’t feeling it. But it was ABED! How could I not love Abed? Also the colors are a lot more bright, like if you fiddled with Orton process on the settings. Bright bursts of color, and smells and tastes all come out. And when I wake up, I feel kind of amused and relaxed. I only take 5 grams but I do wonder if those side effects are more intense with two tabs. I don’t want to try it myself, just curious. I only take them two/three times a week alternating with Benadryl and on Sunday I have an Ambien. Doctor’s orders. It’s been working out pretty good for me so far, but those Melatonin nights are the best. ---

In my experience, people who say something is better than LSD have something in common with those who say something is better than sex. And that is that they have never experienced such in the first place. ---
