If peyote had not existed, and a shaman had discovered instead a plant that secreted Nyquil; I’m convinced this would have been adequate for certain visionary dreams to manifest themselves. Or maybe not.

It does the trick for me, though. I have had the strangest, and often unpleasant dreams when I’ve used Nyquil over the years - nevertheless, it clears my head and helps me sleep. I don’t think it’s the alcohol that causes the weird dreams, but neither do I thinks it’s entirely honest to list it as an “inactive ingredient.”

This comes to mind because I would take a dose right now, if only I didn’t have to get dressed and go to the all-night pharmacy to buy it. Nyquil, that is. I don’t think they carry peyote.
