In the Shakespeare tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet," Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a drug that induces a death-like coma. Is there a drug that will have that effect?

I think it was suppose to be "Hemlock" (for some reason) thin line between life and death using that poison---I guess. ...in Romeo and Juliet.
Have to investigate that....there is a "Hemlock Society" you probably know about that one.
There are a number of drugs used in anesthesia that might be considered of that nature....anesthesia is called "a controlled state of death" sometimes.

A rare S.American frog has a poison that Voodoo cultist's use to turn people into catatonic zombies. Don't lick the frogs!

I don't think so, but I think overdosing on specific types of drugs can put you to sleep, like Muscle-Relaxants: Ibprofin, Advil (etc.)
