414. MDA Drug Story

July 28, 2026

Q. I love your site! For years I’ve been looking for a National Lampoon article I remember fro the early to mid 1970s. It was about how a huge quantity of the drug MDA arrived in an Ohio college town and basically everyone took some and everyone got laid. Ring any bells or an I way off base?

A. The piece you’re looking for is “Pharmacopeia,” by Chris Miller, from the March 1973 (“Sweetness and Light”) issue. The article is a series of brief, unrelated stories about drugs, including one that matches your description.
