Best Answer

I wouldn't say barbiturates to be common in recreational illicit/street use, but they have been used for anaesthetic and date rape most commonly. Yes, they do depress one into a sleep-like state, sometimes semi-concious, but having no memory of the events that took place when the drugs were active.

What is floricet?

Floricet is a barbiturate sedative mixed with a non-aspirin pain medication and caffeine. It is actually a trademark of butalbital (a barbiturate that relaxes muscle contractions involved in a tension headache), acetaminophen (a pain reliever and fever reducer), and caffeine (a central nervous system stimulant that relaxes muscle contractions in blood vessels to improve blood flow). The combination of these three is used for the treatment of tension headaches caused by contractions of the muscles in the neck and shoulder area. As previously mentioned, this is commonly used to relieve one from migraines and other pain related ailments.

No. Barbiturates are medications known as "downers" that are central nervous depressants. Gasoline is not technically a drug, but when it is used recreationally it fits under the realm of "inhalants," which are drugs that are breathed in to produce mind-altering effects.
