What ever happened to quayludes? I was a child in the 80s and I know quayludes are downers, but that is all I know about it.
Why did they fall out of favor?
I know the rules of the board and I hope this question isn’t a violation.
You want to know about the recreational uses of prescriptionn drugs* AND* you know the rules of this message board? :dubious:
Is it completely impossible for this to be a General Question, within the framework of the rules?
Somebody, somewhere, has figures on drug use over the last few decades, so a cite is possible.
Somebody, somewhere, has ideas about how this relates to quaylude (sp?) usage.
This guy wants to know.
Shall we let him remain ignorant?
I didn’t know it was a prescription drug. I was wondering why the use was rampant in the 70s and now, nothing.
Too many people got into trouble with quaaludes. Mixing it with booze was a recipe for disaster. Idiots did it anyway, and their friends all got to see how bad ludes were.
Nevermind, I found what I was looking for. I was spelling it wrong.
Well, by simply spelling the word Quaalude correctly and typing the correct spelling into Google, you can get a solid overview of its history both medicinally and illicitly in about 10 minutes. Distribution of methaqualone in the United States was halted in 1984.
Sorry. Ignore my post too.
