- Heroin- Heroin is a semi-synthetic form of opium (derived from poppy plant seeds) that is inhaled, smoked, or injected intravenously by the user.
- Meth amphetamine (Crystal Meth) – Meth is a man-made chemical stimulant this is extremely addictive. It is frequently created in improvised “meth labs” and is inhaled, smoked, or injected by the user.
- Cocaine- Cocaine is a drug derived from the Coca plant. It is a stimulant of the central nervous system, and is typically snorted into the nose, or smoked in “crack” form by the user.
