[The following is a (probably inconsequential and wasted) attempt to persuade the misinformed and mistaken majority that belive Quaaludes are dead of the truth. And to at least curb the wistful and mournful, mawkish and saccharine, envious and indignant, or griping and unfortunate comments that I feel are noxious, annoying, unwarranted, and excuses to kvetch, gripe, and quell their desire to comment and opine, as well as obsequiously agree with the crowd and "in group".]
After having submitted my own post (post #24 herein) to this thread, I cannot help but feel chagrined and surprised whilst reading the posts made after it. Perhaps my comment's palaverous and periphrastic nature deterred prospective readers.
Perhaps it was merely overlooked. Or perhaps the extinction myth of methaqualone is just too sensational, sanctified, unimpeachable or ingrained to consider it the delusional fairytale it patently is.
Fact I: the absurd notion that Quaaludes are as rare as Unicorns is as much a myth as Unicorns themselves .
Fact II: the myth of the mythical and mysterious methaqualone—a drug that US/EU pop culture has erroneously believed to have gone globally extinct since at least 30 years ago—is only moderately factual within the EU, AU, US, and CA. But if X is the case only within a single community, it would be fallacious, parochial, and presumptuous to assert that X is the case for all and any other communities, as though your milieu's experience is universal or paramount. The world is not subsumed and encapsulated in the Anglosphere and Europe. If I do not have a ceiling fan in my home, how myopic, self-important, suppositious, and tendentious would it be to therefore assume no home has a ceiling fan? Excessively so.
Fact III: Mandrax/Methaqualone/Quaaludes have inundated and proliferated the black markets of South, SW, SE, and Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa for decades. And the deluge of Quaaludes grows more powerful with every year, especially in and around the Indus-Gangetic Plain and South Africa (notably Durban and adjacent towns)
Fact IV : In light of fact III above, we can see that the rarity of Quaaludes in the West is commensurate with and contingent on the difficulty of any of the following:
a.) Trafficking Quaaludes from their provenance (i.e., South Asia) to the West;
b.) Obtaining a plane ticket to Quaalude-producing regions and buying as much as you can afford; or,
c.) Doing as the Africans and Asians do, by just synthesizing methaqualone in the bath tub or kitchen of your rental apartment. It is not LSD or Salvinorin A, for sure. If you have the faculties to grow a cannabis plant, then you meet the qualifications and possess the potential to become a multi-millionaire Mandrax-peddling professional.
Fact V: Doing either of the foregoing propounded options in fact IV would solve the Quualude crisis or paucity of pills in your neighborhood or personal life rapidly and easily—especially if you happen to be one of the millions of pitiable denizens of those vacuous deserts depressingly devoid of lemmons and biscuits, like England or America.
TL;DR: Quaaludes are not rare nor have they been extirpated by the defeasible and daft DEA or the ineffective and incompetent INTERPOL. You are not even wrong (as Wolfgang Pauli would say) and this colloquy is mundane at best, its posts are specious commentary on a prosaic and boring anecdote read like responses to the obituary of a person not yet dead.
