Bill Cosby’s drugs admission: What are Quaaludes?

In newly unsealed testimony, comedian Bill Cosby admitted to obtaining seven Quaalude prescriptions in the 1970s and keeping the drugs through the 1990s with the intent of using them on women he wanted to have sex with. Quaaludes, the brand name of prescription drug methaqualone, were transferred to Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and banned in 1984.
