The Office of National Drug Control Policy’s Information Clearinghouse has posted a list of more than 2,000 drug terms culled from the Internet, press articles, and various agencies, according to “Leslie” at the ONDCP (where workers aren’t allowed to give out their last names).
Some of the terms are relatively innocent, others will give you a chuckle. But some of the definitions will leave you wondering if the government hasn’t been just a little too credulous. After all, how often have you heard about PCP mixed with peanut butter? Or PCP laced with gasoline?
