Pharming party
Pharming parties is a media-invented term describing alleged get-togethers where prescription drugs are exchanged and randomly ingested, in order to become intoxicated. The earliest mention of the term appears to have been in the March 8, 2002 issue of the newspaper ''Public Opinion'' (Chambersburg, PA), which said this was occurring "in some communities".〔Jack Shafer, ("Down on the Pharm, Again: Debunking 'Pharm Parties' for the Third Time" ), ''Slate Magazine'', March 25, 2008〕 The pharm party story has since spread to periodicals and television stations throughout the United States, including reputable, mainstream sources such as ''Time'' and the ''Washington Post''.〔
==Origins==
Practices similar to the pharm party phenomenon have been described in media as far back as the 1960s. An event, called a "fruit salad party," was first described in the March 30, 1966 edition of ''The Sun'' in Lowell, Massachusetts. The story provided that several teenagers each brought three pills to a party in Medford, Massachusetts and that, after mixing the pills together in a bowl and selecting three at random, most of the group had to be hospitalized and one remained in a coma. The article did not provide the names of any of the teenagers and said only that the incident occurred "several months ago."
"Fruit salad parties" were subsequently described in the ''Tucson Daily Citizen'' in 1969 and the ''American School Board Journal''. The source for both articles was a registered nurse who had no practical experience with these parties but had heard about them from drug lecturers, law enforcement officials and prosecutors "throughout the United States." Reports on fruit salad parties continued into the early 1970s, appearing in the ''Charleston Daily Mail'', Ohio's ''Coshocton Tribune'', the ''Billings Gazette'' and Hayward, California's ''Daily Review'', before ultimately petering out. The ''Daily Mail'' took a more literal approach to the rumors, describing the pills as being hidden inside fruit which students mixed into actual fruit salads.〔
