Say what?

Okay, the first time I got one of these spams, I hit delete before I realized what I'd seen. So I wasn't certain that my eyes weren't playing tricks.

Now I've got a second offering the exact same thing:

"Vicodin, Hydrocodone, or Soma".

Aside from the fact that I thought the first two were different names for the same drug, I thought the third was entirely fictional!!

You're right, Vicodin is a brand name for hydrocodone.

Soma is a brand name for carisoprodol, a muscle relaxant. I was amused by that, the first time it was prescribed for me. (I don't like to take it, because it screws up my dreaming, but it is damn good at its intended purpose.)

Soma was the name of a drug, probably a pyschotropic mushroom extract, used by the Aryans in India.
