what are 74s?

There isn't a specific illegal drug identified as "74," but the number likely refers to Quaaludes, which are also known as methaqualone. Methaqualone was a drug used in the 1960s and 70s as a sedative and muscle relaxant, similar to other GABAergic substances, but due to its high potential for abuse and dependence, it was eventually removed from medical use and is now classified as an illegal substance. Key Points about Methaqualone (Quaaludes) Sedative-hypnotic: Its properties are similar to other depressant drugs, causing sedation and sleepiness. Abuse Potential: It was highly abused in the 1970s and became a quintessential "club drug". Dependence: Prolonged use can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Illegality: Because of its abuse potential, it is no longer used medically and is an illegal substance.

Quaaludes? that's a flashback from the 70s!
