Is xanax popular among drug abusers? It's supposed to be medicine ...

[–] Laser@feddit.org 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

So are amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA, LSD, DXM, heroin,...

See a pattern?

Edit: in case people are wondering, I'm not saying "OMG big pharma is a drug dealer" but rather that a lot of substances have been researched in a pharmaceutical context, and often these were found to have effects beyond their main one. And sometimes, people just self-medicate.

I did ask whether xanax is something that people often take recreationally. Based on the responses that doesn't seem to be the case. So what IS the pattern?

And I really just want to know what the meme is going on about. "don't take drugs recreationally or for selfmedication" is a very different discussion from "don't take the drugs that were prescribed to you for your diagnosed illness by a doctor".

Well, people do take Xanax recreationally. If you want to get an impression, read /r/xanax
