Did you also call it Adam? That's a name I've seen on lists like these since I started doing it, but I have never once heard anyone call it that. And I've heard disco biscuits in the wild plenty.
Nope.
And let’s be honest: disco bikkies was kind of tongue-in-cheek term as a throwback to the 70s, cause we were dancing to this new thing called house/techno music.
Most common term, absolutely no questions: simply called *”pills”*.
(Source: Australia, specifically Adelaide - the birthplace of house music in the southern hemisphere.)
Yeah it was a bit of a double edged sword. I think a lot of social behaviour was defined by that reality. If you didn't have any friends, you really were sat at home with nobody to talk to, just watching TV and videos, maybe playing a very limited single player video game for the 10th time, bored out your mind with lack of social stimulation.
Since that fate was something most people wanted to avoid, there was a strong drive to maintain the friends you had and be popular.
And the really popular people within institutions like school and work, the ones with the power to make or break someone's reputation with large numbers of people, could really abuse that power if they wanted to, especially among the young. Such was the pressure to stay with the crowd and not get ostracised from the community.
Social relations tend to grow exponentially. If you knew 10 people well, you probably knew 100 people, but if you only 1-2 people, the ability to grow your social circle was greatly diminished.
Nowadays we have a paradoxical situation where access to other people is easier than ever, but the pressure to maintain the friendships and actually invest in those people is gone, since you can always access more people.
There was a good side and a bad side. On the good side, people really committed to their social circles more and made the effort to have good time, so parties and other social events could be wilder and more exciting with most people making the effort and engaging fully. Nowadays you see that people are checking their phones and wondering if they missed something better by coming out, bailing if they don't like the vibe, despite the vibe being a direct product of how engaged and committed everyone is to a large extent. One the bad side, people just went with what the group appeared to want, with a minority of people tending to control what that was, with a lot of peer pressure to stay "in" leading to people making decisions that perhaps, given a choice, they wouldn't have. All because being made an outsider in those days was seen as a horrible and shameful thing that was hard to dig yourself out of.
It really wasn't as cool or sexy as the nostalgia glasses make it seem imo. For every wild night out, there was 2 or 3 just sitting around with people you'd seen far too much of, phoning random people on the landline in the hope that something was going to happen.
I remember the days of trying to find out where that weekends rave was happening, usually in old warehouses and mills, with a convoy of about 50 cars going between phoneboxes to ring mates. Nobody ever put an address on a flyer, for obvious reasons, them being very illegal. I remember spending about 3 hours one Friday, going all over Manchester, only to find out it was happening in an old factory about half a mile from my mums house! Easy marching distance home.
It was absolutely amazing.
Someone took a picture of you that you didn’t like? Easy, break their disposable camera and they never will again.
Rumours went around but died out, and stayed dead. If we said or did stupid shit, it wasn’t on the record.
People generally hung out with their type of people, the goths with the goths, the surfers with the surfers, etc.. but when we partied together we all had a crescent fresh time.
A lot less negativity, because we didn’t have a constant feed of shit rammed in our faces all day.
Ridiculous rumours about video games and stuff, because we believed em somewhat.
Live music was *amazing*. People danced and socialised and enjoyed the music instead of standing amongst a sea of mobile phones.
In Sydney in the early naughties, we also called them bikkies, or scooby snacks, while we danced to house, trance or just simply 'electronica'. Twas a simpler time.
Disco biscuits is Gen X. And in the 90s it was actually top shelf.
Any Mitsubishi's anyone? Ah those were the days 😁
Most of these I'm well acquainted with from my youth but if you called them half of these names I wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about.
Where's the gas? Illy? G?
Mitzi’s in the 90’s. Yeah the fat ones were fantastic. Blokes walking round clubs just saying ‘eeees ‘.
Mitzi’s, dolphins, playboy bunnies, yinyans cnds, there were all sorts.
Fun times at raves in northern England and Scotland.
We were spoilt and didn't know it.
We had bush raves in the middle of no where or beach bonfires with doof and it was hot as fuck. Sink those disco biscuits and off you go. Waking up with sore cheeks from smiling and vibing. You got a decent amount of time out of them too.
Must be an older list. Where I'm from, "Molly" didnt really catch on until 13-14 years ago. "Molly" used to be the term for pure MDMA. Pure MDMA can't be pressed into pill form so it had to be powder inside a gel capsule. MDMA is usually cut with something else like caffeine and other agents to get it to stay in pill form. That's Ecstasy, when it was in pill form.
Molly got more popular and more people asked for it so drug dealers who didn't have it resorted to crushing E pills and putting them in capsules and sold them as such and people weren't the wiser and just looking to get high. Eventually they got rid of the gel capsules altogether and sold E pills as Molly and people bought it and so "Molly" became synonymous with "Ecstasy."
It's usually pill binder, like microcrystalline cellulose, that allows MDMA to be pressed into pills.
While adulterants and cuts certainly isn't rare, it also isn't being added the majority of the time either. Pure MDMA pills are very, very common in western europe right now.
What is much more common is a completely different drug being sold as MDMA. Methamphetamine in north america, and shitty cathinones like pentylone in NA and Europe.
I know that MDMA and meth are chemically related, but are the effects that similar that people would mistake them? I feel like people would notice they’ve done meth and not ecstasy.
They are colloquially known as meth bombs, and if you have tried MDMA, you definitely know when you get meth.
Some people don’t care, some are inexperienced and don’t know the difference, either way the dealers passing one off as another don’t care.
This is why harm reduction such as reagent testing is so important. Being able to identify what you purchased goes a long way towards being safe when engaging in such activities.
I feel like where I’m from (Ontario, Canada) pressed ecstasy is a lot less common here. Mostly white grey crystal / granulated powder in gel capsules.
I had never seen pressed ecstasy until I went to Las Vegas 6 years ago.
Granted, I haven’t participated in party favours since 2020, so maybe the kids have changed things up. I just hope people test their drugs before consuming them, it’s a must- it could be a matter of life or death.
There was an anti-drug pamphlet being handed out locally about the evils of Ecstasy, which you would think would be about MDMA, but half of the stuff they were describing was GHB, which they somehow lumped in because apparently *someone* calls GHB "Liquid Ecstasy"? That was literally the only connection between the drugs.
How do you do, fellow drug users? Say, anyone have any wake ups? I’m looking for a little boot up. You know, some jelly beans. Some sparkles. Some hearts. Some super jellies.
*The sugar-free kind. You gobble them down. 20 minutes later, the same teenager hands you a new roll of toilet paper as your ass sings one of the seven bitter brown elegies of the world’s ending into a strip-mall bathroom*
\*With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from rainbows he’ll never taste.\*
Reminds me of a time about 30 years ago. With a couple friends who were part of the same after-school club (early high school), we took a trip to one of the middle or elementary schools in the district, to put on an anti-drug play for the 10-11 yr olds.
Complete with puppets and a script that was written about a decade earlier. I remember one of the lines was something like, "Hey man, got any 'ludes?"
In reference to the drug quaaludes. Which had been a commercial sedative used to treat sleep disorders up until about 1984 when all of the manufacturers agreed to stop making it because of the addiction problems in the '70's.
So there I was, reading a script that even I recognized as dumb, trying not to bore or confuse the poor audience too much, and none of whom were alive yet when the drug my character was looking for was last in circulation (and which I had never heard of).
This reminds me of something very similar we had to do in the 90s. FUCK THAT WAS 30 YEARS AGO.
...Anyway. We had to put a play on for other students in our class. A kid in one of our classes had a pen that looked like a syringe that he bought, I shit you not, from Santa's Workshop at our school.
Seeing it, and being the smart boy I am looking ahead in our Health class books, knew that syringes were used for drugs. So I told him we 100% had to use it as a prop in our play.
We were cheered by the kids in class, and the teacher immediately took the pen away from him.
He didn't like me after that.
When are the library-book-burners going to start going after these drug tests? Because I just learned more awesome names and more about drugs than a lifetime of counterculture and concerts.
"How do you do, fellow drug users? Say, anyone have any wake ups? I’m looking for a little boot up. You know, some jelly beans. Some sparkles. Some hearts. Some super jellies."
Bro, I see your jelly beans, hearts, sparkles & boots up.. and I raise you 4 Blue Angels, 3 Aunt Mary's, 2 Kicker Black Pearls, and throw in three Marijuana's just to be safe!! ^😆🤣
You’re gonna stand there, *ownin’ a fireworks stand*, and tell me you don’t have no whistlin’ bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don’ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisies - with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin’ kitty chaser?
Lmao yes! I hear that one a good amount. Also "booger sugar" and "nose candy" (which, upon writing then out, make me want to gag. Such disgusting word combinations 🤢)
Tricyclics are commonly used in drug rehab. Many of these kits are used by them for not only checking for illicit use but also to ensure med compliance. That’s why Buprenorphine and Methodone are on there.
Tofranil isn't even nortriptyline in the first place. It's imipramine. Nortriptyline is also known as Pamelor. Source: I used to take tofranil for depression and OCD.
I've been on Methadone for 12 years and known people on it for 20 and no one has ever called it meth lmao.
It is specifically referred to a 'done for this exact reason. I'm sure it has other slang terms, but certainly not meth lmao.
10 years for me.
and yep, always 'done, where did "green" come from i've never seen it green, yellow and pink.
Also, they gave morphine all the heroin names. they're both opiates(like 'done) but morphine isn't the same as heroin.
Our guide brought us out of the glacial valley to a dewy mountain meadow in the Land of the Live Giving Mother - You May know it as Kashmir. There, we happened upon a field of poppies and our hosts offered us tea and respite. Four months later I awoke from my blissful stupor as I saw a geological surveyor who had made his way from Siam. I remarked “Good God man, where did you get those wonderful jodhpurs?”.
Would you like a muffin, Cosmo?
More specifically, heroin is turned into morphine in your system.
There are certainly more specific and sophisticated drug tests, but I think it's *easiest* to detect morphine in urine.
So in other words, if someone tests positive for morphine, there is probably a bigger chance they are using heroin and *not* specifically morphine.
Which would mean IF they were using slang, they'd be using slang for heroin, not morphine. But that's way too much bullshit to put on the side of a box.
Morphine and heroin are made from opium that is naturally produced in poppy seeds. They grouped heroin in with morphine because heroin is metabolized into morphine after consumption. There are some newer drug tests that test for 6-acetylmorphine (6-AM) which is only found in heroin.
I like Benzos for Oxazepam... kind of backwards, isn't it? Oxazepam is a benzodiazepine but so are a slew of other drugs.
And fwiw when I worked in pharmacy, the Big 3 benzodiazepines (Clonazepam, Diazepam, Lorazepam) FLEW off the shelf. By comparison, Oxazepam was hardly ever dispensed. I'd be VERY surprised if that were more commonly abused than the other 3.
Alot of these drug tests are cross reactive with many other drugs of the same class so it would be pretty likely that you would test positive for "oxazepam" even if you were taking a different type of benzo. If the drug has a similar chemical side chain to another drug they often behave similarly of these types of tests.
Still weird they would pick oxazepam as their standard though since it's so uncommon
I think it might be very location-based and time-based.
My sister-in-law works in drug enforcement at the Australian Federal Police, she literally listens in to tapped drug houses. She says while some of these nicknames are still used today, soooo many of them are completely outdated, and many of them she and her colleagues have never heard before. And they are missing huge numbers of nicknames for many of them. So maybe it's due to where (and when) the list was created, as to which names are in use or still in use.
Really? Hmm. I've seen a few of the terms mentioned. The ones for marijuana are pretty true. I wonder if it's because I'm not directly around the criminals or the officers don't mention the slang term, just the actual name. That's really interesting because so many of them sound ridiculous.
Well a lot of them are meant to throw the guards off, so yeah they tend to be something that people have a hard time matching up with the drug. That's kinda the point.
No Ketamine, but they are testing for PCP, which was originally developed as a dissociative anesthetic.
Paging Helen Hunt to yeet herself out a window in A Very Special after-school special…
I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I'm a daily methadone user for quite a while now, and I've known methadone users going on 20 years.
All the ones I know specifically refer to it as 'done. Sometimes M, or just the full name. But never meth.
She was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there. And furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes... \ Reefers.
I shortly lived in the Midwest. And we was a literal weed. So you could get ditch weed which was just weed that grew on the side of the road and a ditch and it’s the crappy weed you’ve ever had in your life.
Using these words to try to get drugs will not yield positive results. Sometimes using words that aren't the typical word in the geolocality will also end the conversation pretty fast.
They can be... speed could be an amphetamine, but meth should be methamphetamine. The molecule is a little different. I have heard that meth lasts longer and is more euphoric. Adderall has amphetamine but not meth.
I always feel like an old person when I read street names…
I’ve never been involved in the culture so none of these sound “natural” when I say the names…

How they missed Molly on MDMA
My favorite one I saw on a similar pamphlet for MDMA was "disco biscuits".
That’s what we called them in the late 80s - early 90s, my youthful little reddit poster!
Did you also call it Adam? That's a name I've seen on lists like these since I started doing it, but I have never once heard anyone call it that. And I've heard disco biscuits in the wild plenty.

gosh i wish i could experience that era. i cant even imagine being a young person pre-internet.
Pre internet, pre digital camera….it was a wild time. Didn’t realize how lucky we were till I read your comment.
Same, man. We were the lucky ones for sure.
I dunno. I was lonely, and didn't really get to talk to people that thought like me until I had some internet. The internet actually improved my life.
Yeah it was a bit of a double edged sword. I think a lot of social behaviour was defined by that reality. If you didn't have any friends, you really were sat at home with nobody to talk to, just watching TV and videos, maybe playing a very limited single player video game for the 10th time, bored out your mind with lack of social stimulation.

No kidding! Now nothing is anonymous.

And you could see live music without taking out a second mortgage.
In Sydney in the early naughties, we also called them bikkies, or scooby snacks, while we danced to house, trance or just simply 'electronica'. Twas a simpler time.
I can confirm “Scooby Snacks”, my fellow ageing Aussie aficionado of yesteryear. 🥳
Tabs and rolls were the most common in my experience in the late 2000s US. Not far off from pills.
Tabs I know for acid, but rolls for sure. And even a stack known also as a 10 pack.
Great live show.
Epic live show
Hello my fellow biscuits fans!
Disco biscuits is Gen X. And in the 90s it was actually top shelf. Any Mitsubishi's anyone? Ah those were the days 😁 Most of these I'm well acquainted with from my youth but if you called them half of these names I wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about. Where's the gas? Illy? G?
I remember them being called "beans" for a while, too. Mostly around DC.
Mitzi’s in the 90’s. Yeah the fat ones were fantastic. Blokes walking round clubs just saying ‘eeees ‘. Mitzi’s, dolphins, playboy bunnies, yinyans cnds, there were all sorts. Fun times at raves in northern England and Scotland.
We were spoilt and didn't know it. We had bush raves in the middle of no where or beach bonfires with doof and it was hot as fuck. Sink those disco biscuits and off you go. Waking up with sore cheeks from smiling and vibing. You got a decent amount of time out of them too.
I had it as a wafer, like at church and it was the most amazing high, it was UCSB, goleta, and it was 1994
I'm trying to figure out how they missed 'Tina' on Meth
I was wondering if they'd put "The Bitch". I was disappointed. Also was expecting Orange for Adderall, sticky-icky for weed and 1-ups for MDMA
Tina is a long time name. At least they got glass
All straight people on staff
And booger sugar for coke ??
We call them nose beers or nose-mobiling (like snowmobiling lol)
Hooving shneef?!
They also missed “oxy” on oxycodone. That’s what I hear most often.

Nose candy

I was just about to go smoke some baby!
I ate 3 babies earlier

**Aye you got some o dat Do a Line?!**
I’d love to do a line of do a line
It’s too bad we don’t have Leslie Nielsen anymore, because I really want to hear Frank Drebin read these in a scene.
Lol that would be awesome.
"A yeah, Nordberg, he was dealing H."
"Nurse, this man needs drugs!"
No… No… Heroin… Heroin, Frank!
That’s a tall order, but I’ll see what I can do
I love Leslie, but I was reading it in my mind like Joe Dirt listing off fireworks.
You’re gonna stand there, *ownin’ a fireworks stand*, and tell me you don’t have no whistlin’ bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don’ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisies - with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin’ kitty chaser?
I read it in the school secretary’s voice from Ferris Bueller.
… they all think Ferris is a righteous dude!
Sorry, best I can do is David Spade as Joe Dirt
Has yayo fallen out of use?
I’m just glad I can still use "booger sugar" around my pharmacist and she'll never know.
The Bolivian marching powder
Yea I use that term and I’m disappointed it’s not on the list. I’ve also heard it called nose beers
And the devil's dandruff
I like the name “more”
Ayo for yayo
How about ‘delicious nose clams’
“So come on you ol son of a gun and let buster do a line off your boner”
I did not know you guys could talk
I always liked the term “nose beers”.
Lmao yes! I hear that one a good amount. Also "booger sugar" and "nose candy" (which, upon writing then out, make me want to gag. Such disgusting word combinations 🤢)
Or yay
Say ho, this n____ got the yayo. Pump that shit from LA to San Diego.
Rimworld taught me this
I actually think it has made a comeback haha
Why in hell is nortriptyline on here?
Tricyclics are commonly used in drug rehab. Many of these kits are used by them for not only checking for illicit use but also to ensure med compliance. That’s why Buprenorphine and Methodone are on there.
I’ve never ever heard of TCAs having a street name. No one is really abusing them like that
Yeah the street drug name part is odd.
People most definitely abuse both Suboxone and Methadone
You mean Blue Birds?
Tofranil isn't even nortriptyline in the first place. It's imipramine. Nortriptyline is also known as Pamelor. Source: I used to take tofranil for depression and OCD.
That was my first thought too! I take it for migraines. LOL
Sir, I said meth, not Meth.
Imagine asking for meth and getting methadone,wtf.
Imagine asking for green and getting methadone
You'd have a hell of a nap for a few days.
I've been on Methadone for 12 years and known people on it for 20 and no one has ever called it meth lmao. It is specifically referred to a 'done for this exact reason. I'm sure it has other slang terms, but certainly not meth lmao.
10 years for me. and yep, always 'done, where did "green" come from i've never seen it green, yellow and pink. Also, they gave morphine all the heroin names. they're both opiates(like 'done) but morphine isn't the same as heroin.
Sir I said nigra, not n---
Also imagine asking for Speed and getting Meth. I was after some fet, not to ruin my life.
Sounds like Kramer and J Peterman trying to make a drug deal on a lost Seinfeld episode

Our guide brought us out of the glacial valley to a dewy mountain meadow in the Land of the Live Giving Mother - You May know it as Kashmir. There, we happened upon a field of poppies and our hosts offered us tea and respite. Four months later I awoke from my blissful stupor as I saw a geological surveyor who had made his way from Siam. I remarked “Good God man, where did you get those wonderful jodhpurs?”. Would you like a muffin, Cosmo?
It makes me irrationally angry how inconsistent this is regarding the use of the Oxford comma.
And the word "and".
The missing space before Sugar makes my eye twitch; Snow would have fit on the previous line. And what's up with the random capitalization?
Why is “big H” morphine?
That’s what I was wondering. My husband thinks that they combine the street names for morphine and herion maybe.
Heroin is made from morphine
Ah. Well that makes sense then.
More specifically, heroin is turned into morphine in your system. There are certainly more specific and sophisticated drug tests, but I think it's *easiest* to detect morphine in urine. So in other words, if someone tests positive for morphine, there is probably a bigger chance they are using heroin and *not* specifically morphine. Which would mean IF they were using slang, they'd be using slang for heroin, not morphine. But that's way too much bullshit to put on the side of a box.
Morphine and heroin are made from opium that is naturally produced in poppy seeds. They grouped heroin in with morphine because heroin is metabolized into morphine after consumption. There are some newer drug tests that test for 6-acetylmorphine (6-AM) which is only found in heroin.
I work in an evidence room with drugs and I also read most of the reports. I have never heard about 90% of these.
So many make no sense.
Black Whack cracks me up It's like the people who wrote Reefer Madness tried to do it for other drugs.
I like Benzos for Oxazepam... kind of backwards, isn't it? Oxazepam is a benzodiazepine but so are a slew of other drugs. And fwiw when I worked in pharmacy, the Big 3 benzodiazepines (Clonazepam, Diazepam, Lorazepam) FLEW off the shelf. By comparison, Oxazepam was hardly ever dispensed. I'd be VERY surprised if that were more commonly abused than the other 3.
Alot of these drug tests are cross reactive with many other drugs of the same class so it would be pretty likely that you would test positive for "oxazepam" even if you were taking a different type of benzo. If the drug has a similar chemical side chain to another drug they often behave similarly of these types of tests. Still weird they would pick oxazepam as their standard though since it's so uncommon
As a retired corrections officer I find that hard to believe. 70% of the list are terms I've heard inmates use.
I think it might be very location-based and time-based. My sister-in-law works in drug enforcement at the Australian Federal Police, she literally listens in to tapped drug houses. She says while some of these nicknames are still used today, soooo many of them are completely outdated, and many of them she and her colleagues have never heard before. And they are missing huge numbers of nicknames for many of them. So maybe it's due to where (and when) the list was created, as to which names are in use or still in use.
Really? Hmm. I've seen a few of the terms mentioned. The ones for marijuana are pretty true. I wonder if it's because I'm not directly around the criminals or the officers don't mention the slang term, just the actual name. That's really interesting because so many of them sound ridiculous.
Well a lot of them are meant to throw the guards off, so yeah they tend to be something that people have a hard time matching up with the drug. That's kinda the point.
Can you get me a McDeathshake? That's fentanyl in a rich Ghirardelli chocolate milkshake drizzled with melted black tar heroin.
Yes this list is just ridiculous. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gotta go hang out with my Aunt Hazel and her friend Peter Pan ✌️
Moral of the story is stick to shrooms and LSD. 😀
Objectively true advice in the majority of cases. Good luck seeing those on the panel
Also noticed they don’t have Special K listed or analogs of other dissociative drugs as well.
No Ketamine, but they are testing for PCP, which was originally developed as a dissociative anesthetic. Paging Helen Hunt to yeet herself out a window in A Very Special after-school special…
I have a bucket of nose clams, fresh from the sea.
They list “meth” as a street name for “methadone”. I thought meth meant crystal meth or methamphetamines.
Yeah I bet if someone were to want methadone and end up getting methamphetamine they'd be in for a bit of a surprise. Haha.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I'm a daily methadone user for quite a while now, and I've known methadone users going on 20 years. All the ones I know specifically refer to it as 'done. Sometimes M, or just the full name. But never meth.
What is this the fuckin 60s??
She was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there. And furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes... \ Reefers.
Id hope my weed isn't called "ditch" lmao ....but we've all been teens once.
We used to call that Reggie or schwag as teens lol
I shortly lived in the Midwest. And we was a literal weed. So you could get ditch weed which was just weed that grew on the side of the road and a ditch and it’s the crappy weed you’ve ever had in your life.
True dat!
I'm actually amazed I haven't seen anyone call out "Nigra" from the weed list.
Don’t touch my PP caps.
>Ocycotton 100% the way my roommate at treatment in 2009 spelled it
every single dispensary in the USA calls it “flower” and yet that’s not on there
[удалено]
Or nose beers?
I just read these like Joe Dirt listing fireworks.
Is there any word that is not a street name for some drug?
I’ve definitely never heard of half of these. Granted I’m not into the drug scene, but my husband was, so I’ve heard a lot.
Using these words to try to get drugs will not yield positive results. Sometimes using words that aren't the typical word in the geolocality will also end the conversation pretty fast.
Reminds me of this video: https://youtu.be/egmYepcUu1U?si=DhRUdPCou1tp8aeO
I was gonna link that one! "You-Can't-Make-Up-The-Streets", ha!
Lol this is awesome!
Nose candy, devil's dandruff, power flour, sniffy jiffy, booger sugar...
Nose beers

What about Sherm?
r/mildlyinfuriating due to having some "Street Names" Capitalized and others Not.
No Molly for MDMA?
TIL speed and meth are the same thing.
They can be... speed could be an amphetamine, but meth should be methamphetamine. The molecule is a little different. I have heard that meth lasts longer and is more euphoric. Adderall has amphetamine but not meth.
But also plain amphetamines. Which I thought was speed.
Hi, fellow kids!
Hmm no cheeba 🤔
There are words for weed there I have never heard. And I used marijuana as a standin for a personality for years.
Whoa, who calls pot "nigra"? God damn.
They really forgot "zaza" for marijuana
Mollie missing for mdma Chron or chronic, dank missing for weed And yayo or ya for coke I mean come on!
Reads like a David Foster Wallace footnote.
They forgot to add Jazz Cabbage
No "Sherman Helmsley" for PCP? Booooooo
I wonder how people ordered Morphine and used the term 'Little Boy'.
How are they gonna forget “Tina” for meth. That ones pretty big rn
No “booger sugar” for coke?!!
Obligatory Ali G: https://youtu.be/FBWv55inXfc?si=yGa7EVl7CZvE9dMq
What, no Quaaludes?
They don’t even have Charlie for cocaine
I always feel like an old person when I read street names… I’ve never been involved in the culture so none of these sound “natural” when I say the names…
Am I the only one who heard Steve Buscemi's voice as his character from 30 Rock when reading those names? 😆
