Alright guys, here’s the story. I’ve been finishing up a book on drug slangs recently and I have well over 3000 now. These are 3000 of the most common and rare drug slangs there are and it’s taken alot of research. Now that I’ve been finishing this book up I would like to milk this cow to the very last drop. If any of you dopers out there have any locally or regionally known drug slangs that you think I might not know about please write them down. Plus I’m not interested in slangs that you and your buddy made up one day, I’m looking for ones actually used. Don’t be shy to post any.
Well so far it turns out I didn’t have Rayas and Hangover Helper. That surprised me so like I said don’t be shy to post. 3000 may sound intimidating but some slangs don’t travel very well and I would love to include them in my book. And if I get a couple more I’ll add the Straight Dope as a reference.
“Putting a hat on” = smoking some pot, as in “Who wants do go put on a hat,” or “Are you wearing a hat right now?”
“Pillow” = 1/4 pound of pot. Not sure how wide-spread this one is; a friend may have made it up.
I’d post more, but I seem to have a memory problem…
Oh, right, I also used to do cocaine, coke, blow, snow, powder, power powder, snort, bumps, lines, and look around for something to get this itch out of my nose. I don’t do it anymore, though.
Every now and again round here I’ve heard people say ‘let’s go do some gardening’ for ‘let’s go smoke some pot’. The same people also tend to refer to the actual pot as ‘foliage’.
kif = hashish
funny papers = rolling papers
fukengruven = tripping
I’ve heard “bong” as a sort of synonyn: “I smoked a couple bongs last night.”
shroomies, fungi,
Do names for batches of acid count? I’ve heard of
Quinn the Eskimo
Deathstar
Vermont
Also, can you yell me the term for taking acid and exstacy at the same time?
Aunt Mary (marijuana), Uncle Albert or Uncle Sid (acid), Uncle Elmer or Uncle Xavier (ecstacy), my cousin Clark (cocaine). I’m sure there are others… it’s all intuitive.
Oh, and this is entirely organic to my circle of friends, but doing ecstacy is known as “wearing the green sweater.” This was after an attempt to create a clothing slang, and it was the only one to survive for general usage.
I don’t know if this fits here, I’m gonna throw it atcha anyway…
When I was married to my ex-hubby, and was acting silly or wierd, he would say “I think you need some of that cough syrup that ties in the back!” (straightjacket)
