- At some pharmacies and many health food stores one can buy Valerian

- hypnotic. I have done a small lit. search (although the journals I
- have yet to actually read, hard to get hold of).

- The lit. serach tells me that some controlled research is being done
- on this "herbal" remedy. Is anyone familiar with it? What info. can
- you provide?

- Well, according to my references (Cantell et al, Suomen laake ja myrkky
- kasvit, wsoy 1936 >:-) ) valerian isn`t good for your neural system
- when used in big doses. In small doses valerian is a tranquiller ( SP?)
- , and in heavy doses it is a poison.
- That book ( A BIBLE ) tells also, If I remember correct that even
- valerians "Normal" use for one month is not recommended, because it
- is a cumulative poison.
- One friend of mine told that he ingested 3 hop-leaves with butter and
- a couple of grams ( 1/10 pound ?) of valerian root, he felt dizzy and
- drunky 6 hours after he woke up later.

- Good for sleep, shitty for tripping..
