With the popularity of "The Wolf of Wall Street", well, it had me thinking about the possibility of a rogue chemist somewhere producing qualudes. I have no knowledge on the subject or how hard it would be to produce, just curious. I'm sure some other idiots share the same curiosity so how about a half serious discussion?
Yes the movie brought a lot of attention to this molecule lately.
It is said to be a widely used drug in South Africa, smoked in association with low quality cannabis.
The south African market is approvisionned by Labs in China and India mainly so it should be possible to find the molecule.
I don't think "Quaalude" is still produced anywhere in the world, but for the active molecule, "Methaqualone", it should be possible to find some.
