Pharm Party

A bullshit scare tactic that news stations are broadcasting because suburban soccer moms will watch it. AND BELIEVE IT.

Not only have I NEVER heard of one of these taking place, but neither has Jack Shafer of SLATE Magazine. Here is an excerpt of a piece he wrote in response to an article from Chambersburg, Pa.'s March 8, 2002 issue of Public Opinion.

"Again, the story quotes no teenage pharm partiers, interviews no witnesses to pharm parties, and cites no cop reports, etc."

I know most of the drug users of my school, and all of them know better than to grab a handfull of pills and gobble them up.
*A mom see's this on the news*
MOM: "Oh no! A Pharm Party? Little Timmy!"
*Mom rushes to medicine cabinet*
MOM: "I'm throwing out every pill in here! There's no way I'm letting my little Timmy take tylenol or baby aspirin! He might try to get high!

pharming

The act of searching another person's bathroom or medicine closet for expired or forgotten script pills with the intent of stealing them to get high. Usually done by a group of teens or young adults at their rents houses and then pooled and shared.

Derived from the word farming to imply "getting by on what sprouts up" and substituting the "f" with the phonetic equal "ph" as in pharmacy to imply "getting by (high) off whatever can be harvested."

The location the pills are taken from is often referred to as a pharm.
"More cautious than most, Justin always looked up the purpose of the pills he found after pharming his friends' houses to learn of any risks or interactions taking them might cause."
