What is ludes meaning?

Ludes, also known as Quaaludes, are a brand of sedative and hypnotic medication known formally as Methaqualone. They were first introduced in the United States in the 1960s and were initially prescribed for treating anxiety and sleep disorders. However, Ludes quickly became popular as recreational drugs due to their euphoric and sedative effects. They were widely used in the disco era of the 1970s and became notorious for their association with high-profile cases involving drug abuse and sexual assault. Today, Ludes are illegal in most countries and are classified as schedule I substances in the United States due to their highly addictive nature and potential for abuse.
