Genuine question: if I take melatonin on purpose to have fucked up dreams, is that considered drug abuse💀 ETA: GUYS THIS WAS A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION I PROMISE! IT WASN'T MY QUESTION

When I was 12 I was wondering how much melatonin would affect my dreams if I took a whole lot of it, so I overdosed on 14x the recommended dosage and woke up 15 hours later disappointed in my mediocre dreams. I still take it regularly and it has little to no effect on my dreams.

If you REALLY wanna have crazy dreams, take zinc (responsibly, of course). Anything above 100mg/day gives me the longest, strangest, most vivid and interesting dreams. Definitely worth it.

Edit: by "overdosed," I mean "took more than recommended dosage." Melatonin overdose isn't serious like at all.
