I heard they were an out of the body experience and made sex incredible .

They were not known for physical dependance , so why are they completely banned, with no way to replicate the drug? I hear if you pop a couple of mentos in a mountain dew and then drink it right away, you basically get the same effect.

My high school boyfriend stole these from his mom. I remember the 714 stamped on the pills. This was in the early 80s. I’m not sure sex was possible on quaaludes. We would get stoned and jerk off. He couldn’t get hard and laid there like a zombie. At least I was stoned on pot and could wank.

The Quaalude Queen is back again! Get yourself to Mexico and find the Mandrax already!

Don't care for drugs that keep you from functioning. Give me a hand full of Vicodin and I'm cool.

There's no way anyone had any good sex while on ludes. NO FUCKING WAY!

by Anonymousreply 8March 17, 2018 2:25 AM

Actually, I had ludes every weekend as a 19-21 year old, and never had so much sex in my life. Then, addiction took over, and I paid a heavy bill.

If Quaaludes came out again, I’d buy a big dark amber glass bottle and keep it in the refrigerator.

The feds really eliminated them. It's tragic that opiates, including the deadly heroin are rapidly available .

I fell UP the stairs on ‘ludes in the early 90’s. I couldn’t do a damn thing much less have sloppy sex or sex at all.

What you had may or may NOT have been the real deal R18. They were no longer available in the states since 1984. Did you obtain them in Mexico or India?

R16 I thought I was the only person on Earth who remembered Biphetamine-T. A Black Beauty tempered with a bit of Quaalude.

I loved Quaaludes! I would take 12, then 12 later with a beer or wine. Sex seemed to be in slow motion, sensuous. I had sex several times under the influence of Quaaludes. Best sex I ever had. You Nellys probably took too many, and got the zombie effect. It has been my experience with fellow drug users, everyone always overindulges.

Back in the days when bathhouses were at their height, Quaaludes were popular with bottoms, especially those who went there seeking multiple tops, threesomes, double penetrations, gang bangs and the like. Most tops avoided them because they usually interfere with erections.

by Anonymousreply 23March 17, 2018 1:06 PM

Still no info about why they were banished from planet earth. Its not as if they were more problematic than barbituates. In fact Quaaludes were marketed as a synthetic barbituate with less chance of overdose and addiction than popular barbituates like seconal.

Today's Mandrax is not quaalude. Nowhere across the globe is the Roche formula for 714s manufactured which is a real pity.

I had great anal sex with them in the jacuzzy .

We had quite a party on 'ludes, thanksgiving week-end 1981. WILD. Didn't end well though

Poor old thing, you! So that's what you were on then? Well, we all know he killed you off for sure now, as no one ludes would go out on the water!

I regret never having tried them-which is odd because I was tinkering with a uppers and downers a lot in my late teens/early twenties. MJ started giving me really bad paranoid episodes and I needed alternatives.

Thankfully (I guess..lol), I had plenty of menopausal and neurotic female relatives and discovered Valium. Every time I'd visit my auntie she'd give me a bunch..being a medical secretary had its privileges, in those heady, 70s days.

The Playboy Mansion still had a good stock of them into the 2000s, according to Holly Madison...weren't they getting them from some factory in Africa?

R31 Probably S. Africa....

by Anonymousreply 32March 17, 2018 1:35 PM

No. South Africa does not make quaaludes. Nowhere are the Roche 714s available.

by Anonymousreply 33March 17, 2018 2:03 PM

Mandrax is available in S. AFRICA... Mandrax is Methaqualone mixed with diphenhydramine. There is a big problem with abuse there R33.

by Anonymousreply 34March 17, 2018 2:29 PM

Its not quaalude, dear. Mandrax is not Roche 714.

by Anonymousreply 35March 17, 2018 2:40 PM

R35 You are getting the grand pharma labs mixed up.... Roche developed LSD while Rorer developed Quaaludes, then sold them to the Lemmon Co. Both labs imprinted 714 on the tablets, but NEVER Hoffman La Roche.

by Anonymousreply 36March 17, 2018 2:47 PM

I beg your pardon. Indeed Rorer/Lemon. It may be Roche was seconal, too?

by Anonymousreply 37March 17, 2018 2:54 PM

No worries. Former druggie with a surprisingly great memory: Roche I believe manufactured real barbiturates, and Valium. Even though a Mandrax tablet isn't 300mg of pure Methaqualone, it is or was the real thing mixed with diphenhydramine. Brand name ludes were Methaqualone.

But Mandrax had benzo added which doesn't produce the effect.

I recall riding around in a car with Divine and a few other guys in Santa Monica looking to score Ludes one night. Finally they came through so we each took one and headed out to the WEHO clubs.

By the time we got to the club the guys in the backseat, including Divine, were so shitfaced we couldn't pull them out. Those bastards took more Ludes than their fair share.

Quaalude was the best drug I ever took. I haven't touched a drug since 1984, but I would do a lude right now.

We used to use it to come down from acid, but, whatever...

To the OP: Quaaludes were difficult to make with a low profit margin.

by Anonymousreply 44March 17, 2018 8:56 PM

R44 big pharma always makes a nice profit. Have you got a link for this info?

by Anonymousreply 45March 17, 2018 9:04 PM

Yes, r43, we'd use them to come down from acid or crashing from speed. They really evened things out.

They were also popular with fisting bottoms because they were a muscle relaxer.

by Anonymousreply 46March 17, 2018 9:06 PM

I got to try ludes once, before they were discontinues. I was living in a freshman dorm at Berkeley - some guys had turned the sofas and chairs upside down and made a furniture maze. It was incredibly fun but no sexual thoughts/feelings occurred. That would happen on Ecstasy.

by Anonymousreply 47March 17, 2018 9:32 PM

Methaqualone is not manufactured pharmaceutical anywhere on the planet. The US Government put pressure years ago on the few countries where it was still made. The DEA hated it as it was a better, clearer buzz than barbiturates with less chance of overdose.

In South Africa there is still some small small clandestine production but it's all consumed locally. Smoked, not taken orally. None is exported as it is very low quality, about like Shake n Bake speed you make in a 2-liter bottle.

by Anonymousreply 48March 18, 2018 12:20 AM

I never tried them, but I remember friends doing them. They make even the brightest, most fun person into a zombie dullard.

Is there any buzz available now to compare it to?

by Anonymousreply 50March 18, 2018 6:19 AM

"...manufactured pharmaceutically..."

Damn autocorrect.

R50 No, not really. Xanax bars and some alcohol approximate it but not really. It was like the good parts of being a bit drunk (friendly, buzzed, loose body feeling) without the sleepiness or nausea or general queasy-ness.

Get a buzz, have fun, sleep like a baby, and wake up with no hangover.
