on other days, i roll a fatty and puff until it goes out on its own.
then its time for bed.

Is tryptophan safe as a dietary supplement?
L-tryptophan was a very popular sleeping aid in the United States until recently, and was also used for premenstrual syndrome and depression. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) removed it off the market in 1990 because of a sudden outbreak of eosinophilic-myalgia syndrome among people who had taken the supplement. About 5,000 people got sick and 27 died.
The ailment Eosinophilic-myalgia is characterized by muscle pain, weakness, and joint pain. It is serious and sometimes fatal. An investigation into the connection with L-tryptophan traced the problem to a contaminated batch of the supplement made by a Japanese company, Showa Denko KK, which had changed its fermentation process to incorporate genetically engineered bacteria, and had also lessened the amount of charcoal it used to purify the product. Nevertheless, the FDA did not relax its ban, reasoning that it's still not clear whether manufacturers can make a product that isn't toxic. However, L-tryptophan is still available by prescription in Canada.
Of course, this does NOTt mean that the tryptophan that occurs naturally in foods, like turkey is harmful! The tryptophan that occurs naturally in foods, like turkey, is perfectly safe.

melatonin and valerian root combined will knock you out and give yousome crazy ass dreams. I wanna get a prescription for lunesta soon though if they will hook me up.
Little point that needs to be made, though, not everyone responds to Valerian root02gixxersix said:
for a small percentage of the population, valerian actually has an essentially REVERSE effect, it'll wake you up (but not awake enough to be buzzing).Now there is an herbal supplement called "Happy Camper" that has Kava and other herbals and no valerian and it can be very relaxing, almost as good as Xanax, seriously.
