Parents, teachers and other gatekeepers often overhear children using coded, cryptic language and wonder if the children could possibly be referring to drugs. The following are some current street or slang drug terms. Please note that these terms can change frequently and often. While these terms are not always related to drugs, any reference to any of the following should be taken seriously, and follow-up action is needed. Even if a child is just "joking", he/she is already "buying into" at least part of the drug scene, and adults should investigate.
