Okay so I don't want to tell anyone how I know this but trust me I have first hand knowledge. There was a small pharmaceutical manufacturer in NJ. they developed a European discovery of Membrobamate, the first tranquilizer in modern history, prior to it's appearance in 1955 about all Dr's had was very heavy sedatives like barbiturates. They named the Drug "Milltown" for the town where they were headquartered. anyway they tinkered and tinkered with the molecule and came up with Carisoprodol, a relatively effective and moderately strong muscle relaxant. they Marketed it as both "Soma" and Soma with Codeine. Not a lot of codeine. The drug company was small compared to most others and was and didn't have another blockbuster drug so they were bought out in 2001.
so I guess that "pain o soma" may be the soma with codeine while the soma might be just Carisoprodol without codeine. It was a long time ago. I have seen 50 pound barrels of Soma or Carisoprodol. Never tried it though. Oh yeah the company Cater Walllce bought out Trojan Condoms in the 80s just before the AIDS explosion so that kept them going at least 2001
Being kind to others costs nothing and enriches your life,
never forget how you felt when someone was once cruel to you,
we all have felt unloved at one time or another we should never want another to feel that way.
