Slang for Mandrax, the British brand name for the sedative methaqualone, also sold by Rorer (later Lemmon) as Quaalude. A very popular drug of abuse in the late 70s but was eventually placed on DEA Schedule 1 and is no longer in manufacture.
Wanna buy some Mandies, Bob? -- spoken by Frank Zappa in the song "Flakes" on the album "Sheik Yerbouti"
