Don’t know the slang? IU’s PRC has online dictionary of drug-related slang

Street Drug Slang is the name of an online dictionary containing more than 3,800 street drug slang terms from the Indiana Prevention Resource Center (IPRC) files, with more than 1,200 additions from the National Drug and Crime Clearinghouse slang term list.

The IPRC is located on the IU Bloomington campus and is a statewide clearinghouse for prevention technical assistance and information about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs for the State of Indiana. It is Indiana's officially designated RADAR Network (Regional Alcohol and Drug Awareness Resource Network) State Center.

Slang is often specific to certain geographic areas. Some slang terms mean one thing in part of the United States and something entirely different in other parts.
