Your kids may be talking about drugs and you won’t even have a clue.  The drug culture uses many slang or street names to describe the drugs and paraphernalia associated with drug abuse.

Our supplier has put together a database of drug slang to help you recognize the warning signs.

To search for a drug type by slang term or street names, CLICK HERE.

Many parents have to face the reality that their child will or has used drugs so it is important to know how to recognize drug terms or lingo.

We have comprised an extensive list of over thousands of slang terms for the many drug types available today and the list is continuously growing.

We will be updating this slang term database regularly as new slang terms and lingo are been created everyday.

  • Drug lingo (e.g. pot)

  • Drug slang terms (e.g. 420)

  • Drug Paraphernalia (e.g. pipe)

  • Street names for drugs (e.g. weed)

Note: We have included misspellings in our database.

You should be aware that some terms which you once considered innocent (e.g. jelly – which refers to cocaine)

Simply enter a term (e.g. speed) into the search box and the results with show the drug type(s) associated with that slang term.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT 420 MEANS?

Have you ever heard your teenager reference the time “4:20?” Many parents don’t realize that 420 (pronounced “four-twenty”) is a “secret code” for a time to get high. The reference to 420 presumably dates back to ’70s stoner lingo but is still widely recognized by the youth of today. Some people have even designated April 20th as “National Pot Smokers Day.”

If you hear your teenager reference 420, see that he/she is using the term while instant messaging with friends or has a 420 sticker on his car or backpack, call him on it. Let him know you know what he’s talking about.

ScienceDaily (2009-11-17) — Marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug by adolescents, with almost 42 percent of high school seniors admitting to having experimented with it. Many studies have focused on parents as being the best avenue for preventing adolescent marijuana use; however, the strength of the relationship between monitoring and marijuana usage has been unclear. According to a meta-analysis, there is in a fact a strong, reliable link between parental monitoring and decreased marijuana usage in adolescents.

Drug testing labs provide accurate results for drug tests in a short period of time. Oftentimes, companies require lab drug tests in order to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for their employees.

Why Are Drug Testing Labs Used?

A drug testing facility is used to detect the use of drugs in the workplace, the home and even in law enforcement. Many times, employers will require a testing lab test prior to hiring as a sort of screening. Also, parents may send a sample to a drug test facility in order to discover whether or not their teen is abusing drugs. Testing labs are available in many different forms including urine testing, saliva testing, sweat testing and hair testing. After a sample is collected from a donor, the sample is then sent to a testing facility and tested for traces of illicit substances.

How Accurate Are Drug Test Facilities?

Drug test facilities provide the most accurate of drug testing options on the market today. However, many on site testing products are equaling lab test quality, making for a more price conscious and convenient option for businesses and families who wish to utilize testing.

Pros and Cons of Home and Lab Drug Testing

Deciding between using a testing lab or a instant testing kit can be difficult. Many different factors should be weighed, including the level of required accuracy and reliability, the rate at which results are produced, sample collection and cost. A testing facility will typically cost much more than an instant testing kit, although its accuracy is often guaranteed. Regardless of the testing method used, once a sample is collected, it can be tested immediately with an on site drug test, whereas a test facility will require the sample to be sent to the lab-a process which could take up to a week or more.

All in all, on site testing is more effective for the average consumer to use. Businesses can save large amounts of money when buying home drug test kits through corporate bulk accounts and are still guaranteed a high level of accuracy.

Worried parents who fret over their teen’s potential abuse of drugs can use at home drug testing kits to find out whether or not they are using on the spot. Waiting for a drug testing lab to return results can be excruciating, especially when it is your child’s health and wellbeing at stake. While a testing facility may be the most accurate and reliable form of drug testing, home testing kits provide a reliable alternative that save consumers and businesses money, while protecting families and employees alike from the hazards of drug abuse
