Quaaludes offer hope for adult ADHD
The Daily Redundancy ^

Posted on 03/03/2009 10:49:59 AM PST by chordmaster

SAN DIEGO, CA - A study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration and Howyflyl University reveals that Quaaludes have proven to be an effective treatment for adult ADHD, and could one day wipe out the dreaded disease. The drug, once popular as a recreational barbiturate in the 1970's, is now being hailed as the new 'Ritalin for Adults', and could be on the over-the-counter market within weeks.

Does it work for afflicted conservatives who are in the process of ingesting large amounts of socialism that did not vote for?

It sounds reasonable, but I found that if you don’t have enough cocaine to go with it, the result can be a dangerous chemical imbalance. All of it, though, is contra-indicated by my heart medicines anyway.

Rohrer 714? No way is a drug with that potency going to be sold over-the-counter.

No, YOU convince ME that you’re really *surprised* that Bambi would fund recreational drugs from health insurance under some flimsy ADHD.

What’s out of character about this?

I was 18,19 in the late 70’s and I can not imagine this working unless you want a large group of people unable to walk, drive, or operate heavy machiney. They would be more in control dead drunk and doing those things than with these,IMHO!

In the early 80’s I went to a journey concert and sat down next to a lady who offered me a qualude. Maybe she though I was ADHD.

Heroin, morphine, crack, and meth work well too.

We should all just take mounds of dope every day.

Can’t be. 714s were made illegal in the US in the 70s. I took a few way back when, definitely relaxing.

That's all we need....people driving while on "ludes"!

Is there now such a shortage of drunk drivers that we need to beef up the supply of inebriated motorists with these people?

“Ahhh - The new opiate of the masses”


These used to be passed out pretty freely to women by the older doctors.

During my marriage, my wife that was in her teens and then her early twenties always got whatever she wanted as far as Quaaludes and Valium even though we moved a lot during our marriage.

I never even knew why she needed them but I did learn that a huge percent of American women were moving through society stoned on legal prescriptions during those days.

That is why in the late sixties the kids could just look in people’s medicine cabinets for the highest quality drugs.

It’s a spoof. (I had to go to their home page and read a couple of other article just to be sure myself.)

Heroin syrup was originally marketed by Bayer as a cough suppressant, it worked quite well by all accounts ,, they were embarrassed to find out it was addictive.

Mother's Little Helper...Rolling Stones

What a drag it is getting old

Kids are different today,

I hear evry mother say

Mother needs something today to calm her down

And though shes not really ill

Theres a little yellow pill

She goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper

And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

Things are different today,

I hear evry mother say

Cooking fresh food for a husbands just a drag

So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak

And goes running for the shelter of a mothers little helper

And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day

“Ah yes , the seventies, ...peace, free love, turn on, tune in, drop out.”


My reference to the medicine cabinets of the adults of the 60s was about how stoned the women of all age groups were, on prescription drugs that came to be known as some of the best dope ever made, Quaalude, Black Mollies, Valium, etc.

They were on corporate made speed and downers that doctors prescribed like candy to female patients.
