Slang for Cocaine:
Common Nicknames for Cocaine
Cocaine has been around for a while. It is one of the most popular illicit drugs in the country and has been since the cocaine boom of the 1970s. Today, about 1.4 million people in the United States deal with cocaine use disorder.
The popularity of this drug, along with the rise of fentanyl, has led to a dramatic spike in overdoses that involve stimulants (cocaine and psychostimulants). In 2021, there were over 53,000 overdose deaths that involved stimulants, a 32% increase from just the year before. If you zoom out, you can see the problem has grown significantly over the past decade as fentanyl is being used more and more.
