Methaqualone was first synthesized in India in 1955 by scientists trying to find a cure for malaria. The drug was ineffective against the disease, but not as a central nervous system depressant â and if a user could resist its sedative effects, a user could get high.
Methaqualone peaks in the bloodstream within several hours, with a half-life of 20â60 hours. Regular users build up a physical tolerance, requiring larger doses for the same effect. Overdose can lead to nervous system shutdown, coma and death.
