As you are probably aware, drugs go under different names on the street than their actual names. This is so that teens and dealers can communicate with each other, or talk about drugs, without others knowing what they are talking about. Knowing the street names for common drugs can help you decipher your teenager’s conversation. If you hear certain terms repeatedly, and they correspond to the street names of known drugs, then it can help you ascertain whether your teen is using drugs. Repeated use of common drug street names is a sign of teen drug use.
