Barbs are not used much anymore for good reasons:
1) Hard on liver, rather toxic
2) Suppress needed stages of sleep
3) Tolerance builds quickly, rebound anger quite common
4) Easy to kill yourself with them, accidental OD was quite common. Reckless to give them to many mentally ill persons & anyone who drinks or has a substance abuse problem
5) Some of the barbs cause an unsightly red face discoloration
