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".[1] 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.[2]
