Uses of the drug:
Responsible:
Quaaludes or ludes are drugs that were initially designed for recreational purposes. In the 1950s, quaaludes were first synthesized in India as a recreational drug to help with insomnia and anxiety. Because the drug was also a downer, it was used to help with sleeping easier for anyone who took it (sleeping pills). These are examples of responsible uses of the drug as they were used to help cure issues and taken in controlled and safe amounts. [https://www.grunge.com/315545/the-truth-behind-the-disco-biscuit/]

Irresponsible:
Quaaludes or ludes were used heavily in discos or parties and were sold as "disco biscuits" or in juice bars. During the discos, the drug was used to get more feelings of euphoria which made activities like dancing more fun/exciting.
