Rorer = Quaalude, but Lilly? Tuinal perhaps?
Yeah, most of their primary colors, Seconal was probably the best. SKF had something called Dexamyl that was pretty nice but they discontinued in mid 70's. Mix of amobarbital and dextroamphetamine. Abbot had a mix that was methamphetamine hydrochloride and pentobarbital. Crazy what was available back then.

If I recall, the mixed caps were locally known as "Christmas trees". Never tried 'em.

Most all of the stupid shit I did when I was younger I can blame on my two friends Eli Lilly and William Rorer ;)

wtf would methamphetamine and phenobarbital be for? my mom was an epileptic, she had a pint bottle of phenobarbital, and i didn't fuck with them, i took two once and slept for three days....can't imagine what you would mix them for?

Perhaps to have an antiepileptic dose of barbs on board but not fall over asleep at inconvenient moments? I could be wrong, but that seems a natural application to me. Back then amphetamines and barbiturates were marketed as less addictive than their predecessors, like chloral or urethan.

i guess...although i can't imagine that person would be anywhere close to coherent....they might think they are, but i've talked to people on both...can't see how mixing them would make anyone more rational

I imagine the responses to these drugs were varied, somewhere between "meh, sugar pill" and "we are the walrus". Humans have a diverse drug response in both type and dose sensitivity.

My personal "I thought I was making sense" cocktail was Benadryl plus Xanax. Talk about delirium.

"During the 1950s, fierce commercial competition helped drive amphetamine consumption higher still. In a particularly innovative effort to expand medical usages for the drug, in late 1950, SKF introduced a product called Dexamyl, a blend of dextroamphetamine and the barbiturate sedative amobarbital. Intended to overcome the unpleasant agitation that many users experienced with amphetamine and to quell anxiety without drowsiness, Dexamyl was marketed with great success for everyday “mental and emotional distress” in general practice and also as a weight-loss remedy striking at the emotional causes of overeating.Competing firms answered with their own sedative–amphetamine combinations, such as Abbot’s Desbutal and Robins’s Ambar, blends of methamphetamine and pentobarbital or phenobarbital, respectively. Creative amphetamine combination products from both SKF and its competitors proliferated throughout the 1950s."

Looks like our boys in camo have a new toy to play with.
A buddy took these & said the thing sounded like a couple of top fuel cars idling as it was coming up the channel.

And Arneson Surface Piercing drives no less - that Mofo will haul ass with a full load of Kick Ass!

Note the size of the props compared to the semi trailer tires!

Ok the digital camo scheme bothers me, not a lot of acute right angles in nature. I keep looking at that wondering if a Jet between the two props would be of benefit once they were moving :eyesmoke:
