Heroin has many Street Names

In the street culture surrounding illegal drugs, there are literally thousands of slang terms, nicknames and street names for every drug you can imagine. Hundreds of those colourful street names are used to describe heroin.

Slang terms for heroin are derived from a wide variety of sources, including the physical appearance and type of heroin; where it’s from; the effect it has on users; and how it is packaged for sale. Some street names for heroin, however, are simply designed to cover up the topic of conversation and throw eavesdroppers off track.

The Appearance of Heroin

Some of the slang terms are based on the drug’s appearance after it is cut and packaged for sale on the street. Some terms are based on the color of the drug and others on its composition.
