I know coke and heroin is a speedball. Is there a term for amphetamine and coke? Google didn’t help.

Stupid?

More directly - I found a reference on wikipedia to “snow seals”, and if the cocaine is crack cocaine then “fire” or “twisters”. That is the only source I have at present so I can’t verify how current or prevalent any of these are.

I was going to say “likely suicide.” “Stupid” works too.

Yeah, I was going to go with “bad idea,” but stupid covers it pretty well.

[This ‘poly drug use’ wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_drug_use) says ‘snow seals.’ I’m not particularly plugged into the illicit drug scene but snow seals sure sounds like a fake name.
