I looked for a table like this but couldn't find one: Mental state altering drugs: Common (slang) - % of treatment admissions Alcohol (Booze) - | 24% Marijuana (Weed, Pot) - | 15% Heroin (Smack or Dope) - Injected - processed from morphine Today’s heroin is so pure, users can smoke it or snort it Frequently cut with Fentanyl see below Cutting other stuff into drugs is a practice that’s gone on for years. Sometimes, to fatten drug dealers’ profits; sometimes, to make drugs more addictive. Cocaine (Coke) - Usually snorted Crack Cocaine (Crack, freebase) - Smokeable form of cocaine Illicit Fentanyl - Used to cut heroin Crystal methamphetamine (Meth) Pills - prescription drugs Oxycodone (OxyContin) Hydrocodone Vicodin - combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen Adderall (uppers, speed) LSD (Acid) psychedelic/Hallucinogenic PCP (Angel Dust) Phencyclidine - psychedelic/Hallucinogenic MDMA (Ecstasy) methylenedioxymethamphetamine - hallucinogenic Ketamine Hydrochloride (Special K) - Hallucinogenic Rohypnol (Roofies) - depressant - drug-assisted assault GBH - - depressant - drug-assisted assaultFentanyl is a synthetic opiate used to treat patients with severe pain or to manage pain after surgery. It is 30-to-50 times more potent than heroin, and infinitely more deadly, Illicit fentanyl may be even more potent. Fentanyl in its pure form will kill you by touching it. It is much cheaper than heroin. Emergency treatment: Detox: - Cocaine withdrawal can cause irritability, depression and fatigue.
