I think that's not the best way to fall asleep, but back in the day I used to smoke (pot) myself silly. Good for the short-term, I believe.

I just also think that it doesn't hurt to have any on hand...don't wanna be controversial, but...

> sarHi Sar,
Thanks for responding. I have Vicodin,
but oddly enough it makes me wide feel
wide awake. I would like to try some pot
for depression and sleep; I just do not
where I can get the stuff; I live in San
Diego.
