As I've reported before, Seroquel is often used by prisoners--and some civilians in the outside world--to get stoned in prison and apparently so too is Wellbutrin, the well-known anti-depressant. The Wellbutrin bit is news to me.
Things have gotten so out of hand in Santa Clara County, California that prison officials there have almost completely halted giving them to inmates and the state prison system in the state has followed suit.
Seriously, two of the top-selling psych meds in the world can be crushed and snorted to produce a high, or more of a low in Seroquel's case.
"Corrections officials throughout the country have long suspected that some inmates were either using the pills to get loaded, or "cheeking" them in order to later sell them to other prisoners to chop up and snort. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic that produces a hypnotic effect, and Wellbutrin is an antidepressant some liken to speed....""'It definitely goes on,' said John Madsen, secretary of the California Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors. 'Say someone is addicted to cocaine but can't get it. They'll try the next best thing. When it comes to drugs, addicts will find themselves doing just about anything.'"
Keep in mind that Seroquel is on the verge of gaining FDA approval for depression and anxiety, indications that would make the drug even more widely available than it already is and would inevitably lead to even more abuse in America.
