quaalude

A pill/capsule that is a CNS Depressant (Central Nervous System) with similar properities to barbiturates, and similar addictive and withdrawal properities. It was quickly pulled from the markets in the USA as a result of wide-spread abuse, although it did enjoy a number of years as a near top-selling sedative/hypnotic before being made Schedule I and thus banned in the USA. Worldwide it is a Schedule II controlled substance under international law and thus available by prescription in most nations...

Quaalude is a brand-name for methaqualone (C16 H14 N2 O)... In other words, Methaqualone is a downer, a depressant, similar to barbiturates in most every way, although probably more addictive.

Quaalude, "Lude," Methaqualone.

quaalude

Slang for a type of methamphetamine called methaqualone. Functions as a sedative-hypnotic. Developed in the 60s by the same company that makes Maalox ( hence the double "a"s ).

Word History: Maalox got it's name for the "ma" in magnesium, the "al" in aluminum, and the "ox" from hydroxides. Quaalude borrowed the "aa" idea and the rest of the word perhaps derives from "quiet interlude" to describe the sedation effect.

Quaalude Thunder

"That's the shorthand description of a drum fill you hear on certain heavy metal albums--where the guy plays as many notes as he can on all of his thousand tom-toms before he ends with The Big Crash."

-Frank Zappa, The Real Frank Zappa Book

"For example--say I'm talking to Chad Wackerman. I'll tell him, 'The Quaalude Thunder goes here.'"

Quaaludinon

The drug of choice for all the conspiratorial fear mongering sycophants, Bible Pounding Ultra Right Wing Evangelical wingnuts, Pizzagate Child Sex Trafficking Cult freaks, and basement living Adderall zombies. Their brains have been melted by fear, and the dread of the unknown! And they are too simple minded to seek complicated answers to complicated questions.

Man them crazy Quaaludinon junkies stormed Congress the other day, and managed to killed 4 people!

qualudes 

A popular recreational drug of the 60s and 70s. Quaaludes (Methaqualone) are a group of CNS depressants classed as "hypnotic sedatives" with a similar effect to alcohol. Effects are sedation, decrease in anxiety, loosening of inhibitions, and loss of balance. Some people experience pleasant body effects. Side effects include disorientation, extreme sedation/sleep, grogginess the next day, and memory loss. One should be careful not to combine quaaludes or benzodiazepines with alcohol or other CNS depressants (opiates, ghb, etc). They are synergistic drugs and can greatly amplify the effects and side effects of each drug, and cause extreme illnes and possibly death. The manufacture of quaaludes was ceased in the early 80s due to drug abuse.

Doctors used to prescribe qualudes for anxiety.
