Citations needed

The references to 714 and the phenomenon described in this article need to be cited; otherwise they just appear to be speculation or folklore. Can citations be found to support these statements? Homefryes 21:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citations cannot be found to corroborate the claims made in the article. However, having grown up in the region, and being 19 years old at the time the highway designation was changed, I can attest to the veracity of the claims. Indeed, I saw an interview on television conducted by one of the Dayton TV channels in which an Ohio DOT employee made those very comments. Additionally, I personally know of people who stole the signs for those very reasons. And so the claims made in the article are not speculation nor folklore; I am a first hand witness.
Lastly, here is a link to the Drug Enforcement Administration's online bulletin, Microgram. http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/programs/forensicsci/microgram/mg0107/mg0107.html
Under the heading, INTELLIGENCE BRIEF, QUAALUDE LEMMON 714 MIMIC TABLETS (CONTAINING DIAZEPAM), "Photo 6" shows a side-by-side comparison between illicit and non-illicit versions of quaaludes. Note the number "714" under the pharmaceutical company name, "Lemmon". This proves the existence of the number 714 in relation to a controlled drug used recreationally.
