Either Narcos or Morpheus was the greek god of sleep (Hence, the words Narcotic and Morphine)... I'm not certain. Marijuanius is the Mexican god of munchies, though!! LOL

The narcotic morphine was named after Morpheus.

Morphine (INN) (IPA: [ˈmɔ(ɹ)fin]) is a highly potent opiate analgesic drug and is the principal active agent in opium and the prototypical opiate. Like other opioids, e.g. diacetylmorphine (heroin), morphine acts directly on the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain, and at synapses of the nucleus accumbens in particular. Morphine is highly addictive when compared to other substances, and tolerance and physical and psychological dependences develop very rapidly.
Patients on morphine sometimes report insomnia, visual hallucinations and nightmares: if they occur the possibility of an overdose should be investigated.[citation needed]
The word "morphine" is derived from Morpheus, the god of dreams in Greek mythology. He is the son of Hypnos, god of sleep.~
