“Triple C”:
This stands for Coricidin HBP Cough and
Cold. “The triple C” or “CCC” is something that we are seeing a lot of, and that
is specific to Coricidin, but anything with
DXM is being abused most commonly by
teens, because it is so accessible.
“Special K”:
A medication used as an anesthetic in humans
and animals, ketamine is sometimes abused as
a “club drug.” It can cause hallucinations and
euphoria in higher doses.
Synonyms or slang terms include: “vitamin
K”, breakfast cereal, cat valium, horse tranquilizer, K, Ket, new ecstasy, psychedelic
heroin, and super acid.
“Crank”:
The stimulant methamphetamine. Synonyms/slang terms include: meth, speed,
chalk, white cross, fire, and glass. Crystal
methamphetamine is also referred to as
“Ice”.

are still the most used drugs by teens, but
cocaine is really a strong third, especially
with females, because of the weight issue,”

Center in Wernersville, Pa.
