Yeah 100%, the old widow was narcotic, but stupifying rather than knock you out...though nap times wouldn't be too far away..I was in my 20s when we were smoking it and remember one time my mother was phoning me trying to organize some shit and everytime she called me back I couldnt remember that I was speaking to her minutes before.
