I don't think it's a good idea, but I'm not surprised. I can't tell you the number of people who come into my office asking for "the little yellow pill" or "the big red one with white letters." Then they get upset with me when I don't know what they're talking about. :-)

NO, im happy it is or i probably wouldnt even be part of Answerbsg. Why are you astounded? Drugs and medicine have been around since the beginning of life and they're still here and being used to this day.

I'm not.

Not me. Many people who take it cannot tell you exactly what it is, or the long term effects that it has on one's body. In fact there is a debate, which has been muted by the people who manufacture and market it, over just how bad the LT side effects of taking it really are. I think the questions weren't necessarily what does it do, but how does the pill do it.
I got a lil white pill that has L484 on 1 side of it, what is it?

Yeah, I guess I should tone back on the "astounded" part. I'm still somewhat flabbergasted, though.
The category almost seems to invite litigation though, doesn't it? I mean, if you or I in the capacity of anonymous Internet ignoramuses give bad advice about someone else's found drug, what can anyone do about it? But if I were a deep pockets website owner providing a forum and a named category for us to do that in and archiving the messages ... I'd want to be sure as the site owner that my liability umbrella insurance policy was always paid up.

The "what's this pill" questions used to be a constant subject of debate on Answerbag when I started (late 2006). Everybody was speculating about who these people were and what made them tick. It seems like that chatter died down when someone suggested that it was mostly parents finding strange pills in their teens' things, and wondering what they were facing.
I kind of miss that argument. It's just such a catalyst for world-class wit and speculation.
