Heroin and cocaine both have a huge impact on the health of the brain and the body. Both are illegal and highly addictive. They are commonly snorted, smoked, and injected. Sometimes these drugs are used in combination, which can be even more dangerous. Other names for cocaine include blow, bump, C, candy, coke, crack, rock, and snow. Heroin sometimes goes by smack, horse, dope, skin, skag, white horse, and brown sugar.

Crystal meth is another common street drug. The effects of crystal meth are devastating. In the short-term, users will become sleep-deprived and anxious, and in the long-term, it will cause their flesh to sink, as well as brain damage and damage of the blood vessels. The TV series Breaking Bad showed the very dangerous conditions surrounding the production, sale, and use of methamphetamine. Users are often called tweakers.

It doesn't end there, either. New substances are always showing up.
