> Halcion™ has a fairly short half-life (1.5h to 5h), but many docs won't prescribe these, as they make you "feel good", and are (or, at least were) turning into sought-after street drugs. Prostitutes were also using them to put into their Johns' drinks, and then rolling them. I have heard many weird stories about Halcion experiences. The amnesia that they produce has made many people, the next day, feel very embarrassed about what they had done while under it's influence.
^^^^^^^^^^^
In addition, Halcion has been implicated in several suicides and with suicidal-depressions resulting (of course!) in litigation against UPJOHN. The drug was also banned in a few places on this planet (possibly others, too). This drug also caused a former U.S. President to barf all over the Japanese ambassador (if I remember correctly).
I thought the FDA was going to pull this off the market?
