I'm too young to know the joys of the 'lude, too. I know they were taken off the market because there was little to no actual "therapeutic" use for a drug this strong, and they were being abused FAR more than they were being "used". From what I understand it was really similar to a strong benzo, though with more euphoria, and more sloppiness. My Dad used to take them when he was young, recreationally... said they were a lot of fun. That's about all I got, heh.
 
The reason they were replaced by the benzo was not only due to the high addiction/abuse potential but the margin between theraputic and overdose was so slim there was almost no margin for error .

its a shame tho as i would love to have a chance to try any of them
 
Wheres RogerQuaalude when you need him?

I am too young to have know as well. From what I've managed to research though 'melange' is correct.
 
Like everyone else here, I was too young to have ever used them. In the US, as was posted above, they were on the market from 1965 until November 1983, when they were pulled off the market. Methaqualone, the active ingredient was then put on Schedule 1 in 1984. The main reason for this was due to the extreme abuse potential of methaqualone in addition to the fact that it was a fairly risky drug in terms of safety. OD's were fairly common. Originally, Quaaludes were produced by the William H. Rorer company until about 1981-82 when Lemmon started producing them. Methaqualone was also sold in the US under a bunch of other names including Sopor and Parest.

Methaqualone (with diphenhydramine) was still on the markets in Canada (under the name Mandrax) until the early 90's, although I'm not sure if it was prescribed much. Mandrax is still abused in South Africa where it is smoked from a glass bottle neck. Apparently, methaqualone is still on the market in some European countries and can apparently be obtained in India and China.
 
I got a hold of some old school Quaaludes a few years ago.
it was like benzos, but with added euphoria. it was great.
 
I've always heard the effects are a lot like that of Alcohol - if that's the case, I don't think we're missing much.
 
Maybe someone could post a TR . Im wonderin maybe if mixed would have been crucial ?? I know someone on bluelight has some right now !!

Is there much of a blackmarket for Quaalude anywhere in the US? I mean, it's a relatively easy synthesis to do.

Easy synthesis? you have got to be kidding.

If it's so easy then go and synthesize some 2-methyl-3-o-tolyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone; 3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-3-o-tolylquinazoline;
2-methyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)-4-(3H)-quinazolinone and report back if you are even remotely succesful.
 
^ ok first off of course it's going to sound difficult to synth when youre using IUPAC names. second, methaqualone IS a realtively easy synth if you have the glassware and the right chemicals. obtaining the precursors are usually the hard part as in XTC synth which sassafras essential oil (safrole) is now illegal so you need to synth that from eugenol or catechol...
 
^ a simple basic understanding of orgo and the mechanisms involved including lab experience (which is a must, practice fractional distillation, vacuum filtration with drying agents, refluxing, blah blah etc.) can get you very far with simple compounds (and how-to instructions included of course).
 
pretty easy, but not happening today in the US.

you'll get diazepam as methaqualone, usually.

I could write out the IUPAC names for all sorts of really simple things and it'd look complicated.

here's one: N-(1-phenethyl-4-piperidyl)-N-phenyl-propanamide

i've read it was like alcohol only without the negatives of alcohol like the sick feeling it produces, stomach irritation and awful hangover. i think a lot of us would enjoy a drug like that.

but anyone with actual experience?

Yeah, nice red herring there. Like someone else said, the glassware is essential and the ingredients can be made from more available items.

here's one: N-(1-phenethyl-4-piperidyl)-N-phenyl-propanamide

Ooh, fentanyl! Ok, here's another: (±)-1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-methylpropan-2-amine
