I've had a lude once in my life. Not too exciting a story, but here's the quick. It was late 80s, still in high school. The real, pharmaceutical grade mdm@ was starting to dry up (I grew up in the Dallas area) and we kids were looking for anything as cool as real, pharm-grade, and just-made-illegal "X" as we called it. so one night my friend came to my party I hosted while my folks went out of town and showed me this roll of pills, wrapped in foil, and said they were qu@@ludes. He told me he bought them from a guy who had been sentenced to prison for years and had buried these things before he went in, so supposedly, when he got out, dug them up and started selling them to make money. They were thicker than aspirins, about the diameter of a dime, off white color, and so what the hell, I bought one for $20 (about the cost of one pill of strong X at the time.
It took about thirty minutes with a feeling like I just drank 4 shots of tequila and probably 30 minutes later I was stumbling around, could hardly even sit up, much less walk. Silly, goofy, giggling, like I had drank a whole bottle of tequila, but not slurred and my head still felt clear not foggy, kinda. I remember how amazed I was at how much I couldn't control my motor skills at all, but I didn't care. There were no worries and no feeling like I was shit faced drunk in my head, but my body reacted like I was. As it progressed for the next few hours, all I can remember is euphoria and feelings of complete, stupored bliss.
So, I guess I'll never know if it really was qu@@lude or not, but whatever it was, it was godamn awesome. Wish I had bought ten more, but just like that, they were gone. Never saw them again.
