I think this was a really interesting story. I have no abusive or judgmental remarks to make about the writer or the guy she's writing about.
But now I'm wondering what prompted Eminem to go into rehab for Ambien. What embarassing or weird or scary thing did he do when he was sleepwalking? Oh well, maybe it's better not to go there...
I think Ambien is a scary drug. It's also (yet) another easy source of irony for anyone in the medical marijuana movement, because the most frequently listed side effect reported by medical marijuana users is "improved quality and quantity of sleep."
Endocannabinoids seem to be involved in regulating the delta phase of sleep. Rodents given endocannabinoid blockers suffer impaired deep sleep.
Ambien gets approved by the FDA, but the American taxpayers are stuck with the bill for the Bush administration's expensive political and law enforcement campaigns against medical marijuana.
Yech, there's too much irony going around.
