quaaludes?

have done a little reading on these. A prescription medicine from back in the 80's. Actually called the "love drug"
I did a search and found a few posts, but nothing substantial. Phreex seems to be quite a big fan.
My question is: Has anyone from aus (nz, asia) tried these? Has anyones granny got some hidden away in her medicine cabinet? They are yellow with a word on them (i forget sorry)
any experiences with them? They sound like a lot of fun!!

all i know about qualuudes is that if you can offload them for $250 in drugs wars then you're doing pretty well.
that doesn't help you does it

Little snippet from a med site:
"Quaalude is a brand name for the depressant methaqualone (me-THA-kwa-lone) and is no longer manufactured commercially. The drug is a central nervous system depressant similar to barbituates. The effect on the body is a reduction in the heart and breathing rate and blood pressure. Small doses create a feeling of euphoria. Larger doses can bring about depression, irrational behavior, poor reflexes and slurred speech. Those who use quaaludes frequently develop tolerance rather quickly. This is dangerous in many ways because users then have to increase their dosage to achieve a high. An overdose can be fatal. Mixing alcohol and quaaludes can also be deadly because of the combined depressant effect on the heart and lungs. Withdrawal from quaaludes is said to be sometimes more intense than withdrawal from heroin. Users should never try to quit "cold turkey," and should only attempt a slow, gradual withdrawal under the supervision of a doctor. "
Not really into the depressant side of things, but it looks like a relatively simple synthesis for any of the bathtub chemists out there.
