mandie

mandie
n
British
a tablet of Mandrax (the British trade-mark name of methaqualone, a poten-tially addictive 'hypnotic' sleeping preparation). These drugs, like their American counterparts, Quaaludes or 'ludes, were taken by drug abusers for their relaxant, disinhibiting and suppos-edly aphrodisiac effects.
► 'The staff and editors of Oz wish to protest against the flippant attitude of our art di-rector towards Mandrax in the caption above ['Mandies make you randy']. Man-dies are both addictive and dangerous.' (Oz magazine, July 1972)
