Title: In search of Placebos
Post by: mochalatte11 on January 18, 2012, 02:47 pm
Perhaps this might not be the best place to ask about placebos as this is a site for *real* drugs, but people seem really knowledgeable here. I am wondering where I can get placebos in large quantities that look like the real thing. I am entranced by the colors of many different types of drugs- for ex. klonopin (the yellow and green), some opiates, adderall (the blue and orange) and I want to do a video project with them in massive quantities. While it would undoubtedly be more fun to get the real thing, I am thinking that it would be a lot less expensive to get placebos (not to mention more legal!)

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot

And all the better for scamming people too no doubt.

Yeah, ha, that was silly. I guess this REALLY isn't the place to be asking. I'm not a scammer, just a student, but I definitely understand the concern.

Well, if it's for a film class, why not make your own props? I am sure a little bit of plaster, and some critical thinking, you should be able to replicate almost anything for filming. I don' t think BigPharma makes placebos en mass. Usually just for human trials.
you could always buy different brands of aspirin and paint them.
Being a director is tough, good luck.
