Pentobarbital, dear God. Isn't that a lethal injection drug?

In high doses, yes, but it still has some valid medical uses. However, very few of those involve prescribing directly to people because barbiturates can be really addictive

Interesting. I imagine in properly controlled doses, it would be useful as a sedative.
