“Big Brother 9” Winner Adam Jasinski Was Arrested For Possession of 2,000 Oxycodone Pills
Adam Jasinski, 31, of Delray Beach, Fla., has been charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness. Federal prosecutors said Jasinski was arrested Saturday after he flew to Boston and showed the witness a sock containing two plastic bags filled with oxycodone, a powerful painkiller that is a popular street drug because of its euphoric effects.
As agents tried to arrest Jasinski at a strip mall in North Reading, he struggled and threw the sock under a car parked nearby, Todd Prough, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, said in an affidavit filed in court.
Jasinski won $500,000 on “Big Brother 9″ in April 2008. The CBS reality show features contestants who live under constant surveillance and vote once a week to evict each other in hopes of becoming the last houseguest standing and winning the grand prize.
Between Methaqualone and Quaalude
During seventies, Quaalude at first was widely used as sleeping pill for insomnia therapy caused by the sedative effects this drug contributed. Too bad Quaalude was then mistreated.
Quaalude was popular among teenagers and labeled as ‘recreational drug’. Quaalude was known as able to increase euphoria, and Quaalude in that time was used commonly during sexual activity.
As the drug abuse reached its peak, it was connected to overdoses, which urged to suicide attempts, injuries, and car accidents. Respiratory arrest, delirium, kidney or liver damage, coma, and death were the other diseases that may appeared .
Methaqualone is the prominent chemical which was needed to make Quaalude. Methaqualone was first developed in India in the 1950s as an anti-malarial drug. By the mid-60s, U.S. doctors began prescribing Quaalude as a non-addictive alternative to barbiturates.
In South Africa, Methaqualone is commonly known as Mandrax, M-pills or buttons, it is not taken orally but is crushed and mixed in a pipe (or in the neck of a broken bottle) with marijuana.
