The Drugs Box - Common "street drug names"

These street names for drugs are gathered daily from across the UK.

The Drugs Box® can ask a range of questions to young people who are able to answer anonymously. Our list is not accurate! Yet it is interestingly realistic...

...you may notice that many young people confuse street names for one drug with another... crack, GHB, mazzies etc are given as street names for drugs other than crack, GHB and temazepam. Just as people confuse facts and info about different drugs they can also confuse street names for the different drugs.

We show this list as an example of the real situation, a reminder of the realistic experience young people have with drugs.
