Quaalude Methaqualone -- leg spreaders- anyone remember?
 

METHAQUALONE

"Let me tell you. Quaaludes, mon. Stumble Biscuits. Disco Biscuits. Karen Quinlan Cocktails. Methaqualone."

common names: French Quaalude, furies, mandrakes, quas, quacks, quads, 714s, soaps, soapers, sopes, super Quaaludes, super soper

"Pop a lude and you're off on a boozeless drunk, flying high with the Quaalude Culture of the seventies. 'Safe and nonaddictive" proclaimed the manufacturers of the magic little tablets. "Let's have a party!" cheered fun-seekers everywhere. So they partied and popped till they couldn't stop; they were addicted."

Old enough to remember that shit was crazy, give a "lude" to a girl and she would DO ANYTHING....LEG SPREADERS!

I say get rid of all the other shit..and lets bring back Ludes!
:thumbsup

These were banned a while back but you'd think they'd still make 'street' copies of the drug... similar to what happened with MDMA aka 'ecstacy'

You would think... they were most excellent in there day..

If the world switched from the tweek and coke to these..it would be a much nicer place! Fooo sure!:Graucho

actually, there were some great bootleg versions that came out of Mexico . . . . often times the bootlegs were better than the real thing because ludes had a pretty nasty hangover, and the bootlegs eliminated the ingredient that caused the hangover

I'm old enough to remember when 714 was a magic number. :)

Popular joke in the '70s (or was it '80's? so long ago)

Did you hear about the new car Honda came out with?

It is called the Quaalude. You just start it up, and it runs into things.

yes, but do you remember the company?

rorer 714?

Ditto :) We used to say they made you play "bumper people" :)

ok get on it..make some up

cant be that hard

Of course. RORER 714. :)

If memory serves, Sopor was the first to manufacture quaaludes....

And I think in England they were Mandrax.

Yeah, I remember the name but never saw one.

Damn, this is bringing back some late 70's - early 80's memories...

Those were probably bootlegs, that is what we got from Mexico

yep. we called them soapers
