To all of the older members here at Bluelight:

Hi!

I've had a couple conversations about this before in passing, once in treatment with an elderly gentleman maybe in his 60s or 70s, and once today with a friend who was wondering the same thing.

It started off today talking about the discontinuation of quaaludes and about the reaction it had on Kate Hudson in "Almost Famous," and then about how they no longer make them.

I'm just wondering what kind of drugs were available to you older folks in your era. (I'm 23.) Names, classifications, effects?
The gentleman in Tx had a lot to say about them, but that was too long ago for me to remember haha.

Just out of curiosity!

I'm not that old but look into black beauties, benzedrex inhalers, traditional barbituates like pentobarbital, and read Junky by William S. Burroughs.

This thread is mainly about biphetamines but there's other info on drugs of the period included aswell.
