The list of prohibited words came with the software and cannot
be deleted. They can only be added to. :/

I am generally against any sort of censorship and fear of the
name only increases fear of the thing itself. I wonder why
cocainum is banned word. Heroin, meth, crack, fentanyl, coke are
okay.

Good question Pasha. I didn’t know c o c a i n e was banned? Is
it? How about Qaaludes, methaqualone? It’s way before your time,
but it was the ultimate party drug in the 1970s. I never tried
it (because I’m not that kind of guy) but what I heard about it?
Wow. It made c o c a i n e look like having a cup of coffee.
It was just a sleeping aid from the 1960s, and doctors used to
prescribe it. But, then word got out that people were having too
much fun with it. Supposedly it not only had feel-good
qualities, but aphrodisiac qualities too, which is a bit unusual
for most drugs, so it was a big hit. Then word got out it was
addictive or something and people were having too much fun with
it and it got banned. And the US put pressure on countries
around the world under the Reagan administration (like it does
whenever it wants to get its way) to halt its manufacture so and
they did. Now, it‘s disappeared. It‘s a synthetic drug, and
supposedly extremely difficult to manufacture without a
professional pharmaceutical laboratory, not like all the other
ones on the banned list, and requires a complicated process to
make it. Hence, eliminating it from the planet was fairly easy
once the US decided to put pressure on the world.
The story behind it is actually quite interesting.

That's what Leonardo DiCaprio's character took a rather generous
amount of in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Lemmon 714's :-)
[/quote]
Yeah, it was originally marketed by Rorer Pharmaceuticals of
Pennsylvania but the rights were later sold to Lemmon
Pharmaceuticals which stamped a 714 number on each pill, hence
the name „Lemmon 714.“
In 1978, Rorer sold the rights to manufacture Quaalude to the
Lemmon Company of Sellersville, Pennsylvania. At that time,
Rorer chairman John Eckman commented on Quaalude's bad
reputation stemming from illegal manufacture and use of
methaqualone, and illegal sale and use of legally prescribed
Quaalude: "Quaalude accounted for less than 2% of our sales but
created 98% of our headaches."[6] Both companies still regarded
Quaalude as an excellent sleeping drug. Lemmon, well aware of
Quaalude's public image problems, used advertisements in medical
journals to urge physicians "not to permit the abuses of illegal
users to deprive a legitimate patient of the drug". Lemmon also
marketed a small quantity under another name, Mequin, so doctors
could prescribe the drug without the negative connotations.[6]
The rights to Quaalude were held by the JB Roerig & Company
division of Pfizer, before the drug was discontinued in the
United States in 1985, mainly due to its psychological
addictiveness, widespread abuse, and illegal recreational
use.[11]
