> It also said it can be used to withdraw from Benzodiazepines, because our brains' G.A.B.A. receptors are what the benzo's attach themselves to causing the tranquilizing effect

(But not illegal to have for your own possesion.) You have to go to one of your best healthfood stores and ask for it. (Try the one that has the most variety and range of suppliments.) I get things like melatonin, DHEA, trytophan, etc. Depending on where you live, you may have to search a bit.
I am in near Toronto, if you need any 'refferals'.Good luck..
