Ok I am not one of them moms whom stuck there heads so deep in the sand they freak when thier children's real world problems arrise....
Now ya know me, I have one son 16 and one SS 15
I like to stay up-to-date with the slang words and drugs today that they boys may or may not get into.
I also have a good friend who's daughter tells me the names of these new offerings in high school. Anyhow, I would like to know
What is
triple Cs ?
I understand these kids are in a world not of caffine pills as I was but a more dangerous world of perscription drugs.
Meth - Crystal - Crank
Cocaine - Coke
Pot - Not as scary as what is out there now a days!
the following are scrips
Adderall - Speed
Zanac - Bars - football
Any pain medication they can get a hold of
or nerve downer pills basically!
Hydrocodone - Roxi
Oxyicodone
X - party on
I know those are the main ones here but What is triple C
and any other drugs you might now are around the schools I would love some information about those too.

Educate your kids.

I have on the long term side effects of these drugs. you may want to show them the movie psychiatry industry of death.

here is a clip from it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwcsww5t2v4


also you may want to show them
http://www.fightforkids.org/

Teachers, who attempt to coerce parents into accepting psychiatric diagnoses for their child's behavioral or learning problems, and insist that the child take a psychiatric drug, are exceeding their scope of work. Such teachers have been prejudiced by psychiatric and psychological training propaganda that preaches academic failure is a mental disability.

One common psychiatric lie put forth is that individuals exhibiting behavior problems have some kind of “chemical imbalance” in their brain that can be cured by taking psychiatric drugs. There has never been any scientific test to determine any such “chemical imbalance.”

please talk to your kids as if they are adaults and thank you for being so aware of the danger there is for our kids in this greedy world filled with drug pushers.

dear Puppypal,

Your concern for your kids is ligit. My oldest now 30, started with pot, went to meth, heroine, crack crank cocaine...and ended there...he had two kids out of wedlock due to being high...set himself back on the road of life by 15 + yrs...but thru God's grace..is doing wellnow been thru inpatient for 13 weeks...a Christian Program call ed Home of Grace for Men in VanCleave MS.
He is now finding God, growing and staying sober while working and finishing school.

I still believe pot is a pathway to harder drugs. Oxycontin, which can be injected after heating...is super addictive...but crack seems to be the real killer for our kids...as its expense is high and its psych addiction is incredibley terrible.

I wish you well on your search for truth...if i had to do it over again...i would have put my son under PINS Person in Need of Supervision..had him drug tested by folicle every other week, and continued to love him wth much greater restriction in his life.

please don't feel you need to be so up on the drug names from a relational perspective...perhaps from a knowledge/chemical exposure perspective.. Well kind regards, Paul

That is very valid paul good on your for helping your sun. Its good to find good people here helping out. Christianity is a good spiritual heeling environment finding God and having a fellowship is very good for the spirit.

Seems to me like no one has really provided you the information you are asking for. I have just a couple slang terms that I can think of:

'addies':adderall
'kiddy crack':ritalin
the 'Fire', 'shards', 'chris',: crystal meth
'puda/puta(sp?)':crack

I know what triple Cs are, and I have used MANY street drugs MANY times, but this one is worse in my opinion than them all, and it's available to anybody in a pharmacy regardless of age. Coricidin, a cold medicine, comes in pill form (with three C's printed on one side) and contains dextromethorphan, or DMX which will completely screw up a human brain if taken too many times. These kdis swallow an entire package of pills or a bottle of cough syrup and experience hallucinations and often foaming at the mouth, which scares me the most. THis is very, very bad, and I have never recommended a parent interfere with their child's drug experimentation before, but this is something EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and potentially FATAL.

I have seen people almost vegetative because of their frequent overdosing on this substance just to get a high. Interfere. Quickly. IT kills brain cells each time adn God knows what else.

Jesus Christ will help you through. -Betsy

Betsy Still Tokes is right. 'Triple C's', or Coricidens are very dangerous and if a high enough dose is reached the buzz is very intense and frieghtening. Dextromethorphan is found in thousands of OTC products, not just Coricidens. Robotussin ('robo-trippin'), DM Cough Control, Benalyn and many other medicenes can get anyone very messed up. I used to steal Triple C's practically everyday from stores like Wal-mart, Zellers, Zehres, Shoppers Drug Mart, (anywhere with a pharmacy)
Another OTC common med that you should be aware of is an Antihistamine, called Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (*DPH for short). I used to steal Benadryls and take roughly like 500mg of the stuff and i would become delirious, incoherent, i would have strong and yet bizzare hullucinations, i would hear voices and many other disturbing symptoms.

Here is my humble, uneducated list of common (common in my town) street slang terms:

- Adderall: addies, study buddies, study speed
- Ritalin: Rids, kiddy coke, little numbies
- DXM: Dex, dextro, robo, triple c's (Coricidens), skittles (Coricidens), crazy Coricidens
- Cocaine: Coke, blow, snow, nose candy, white
- Heroin: Junk, H, Horse, Smack
- Methampetamine (Crystal Meth): Ice, cyrstal, meth, jib, crank
- Oxycodens: oxys, ox-candy, percs, percadons, oxycontins (slow realese), roxis
- Hydrocodone & Hydromorphone: hydro, "High. & Co.", Vicoden, vikkies, vics
- Marijuhana: weed, pot, ganja, doobage, tumbleweed, grass, dope, tree, green, nug, nugz, nuggets, herb, cannabis, chron, chronic, shrub, Mj, Mary Jane, bud
- LSA (Morning Glory): silly seeds, glory seeds, glory, seeds
- LSD (Acid): cid, acid, tounge paper, blotter-buddy, blotters, doses, trips
- MDMa (*Ecstacy*): E, X, love-drug, Adams, Beans, beanos, beanies, rolls, XTC, street-candy, radical-raves, vitamin e
- Psilocybin Mushrooms: mush, shrooms, mushrooms, magic-mushrooms
- Salvia(divinorum): sacred herb, sally-D
- GHB: G, liquid-X, gamma
- PCP: angel dust, Sherms
- Ketamine: K, Special K, crazy-K, Vitamin K, Cat, Cat-tranq
- Datura: Jimson weed, jamestown weed, devils trumpet, satans weed, deadly-D, Nightshade, Insane-trumpet, angels trumpet (*Belladonna, Brugmansia, Brug: Nightshade species linked to Datura)
- Nutmeg (Myristican): Nutty-nut, nasty-nut, 'meg', "meggin'"


Fearin Jail, but Crack sales have got me livin well. Suicidal thoughts in my thug life, dealin' dope in this drugl-life. Ridin wit 2 crips, glokoma on ma hip, ridin wit 2 clips

I want to take the time to tell each and everyone of you thanks!
I am a mom that wants to know, trys to do, and teaches in every way possible......
I am not the mothering type that tends to say, Oh, well {been there} it is a normal thing of teens to experiment. Wash it and go on. Because since now I have older children, I realize the world changes as they do. I am in my fourties and back when it was this popular drug or that. Today it is a whole new world.......
The mega pharmacy world and mixing to benefit the feel.....as I have heard some of the kids chat about. I may not be able to make {the choice} for my kids at that time when they are tempted. But they are going to know what happens and the worse case result if they decide to make the wrong choice. Sounds boosterious I know. But I have seen over my years parents that stick there heads in the sand is not the way to go. I have seen parents that blame there children's friends for there child's addiction. Lets not forget, the worst one of all...........Parents that wake up one day to realize, OMG! My kid is addicted. By then the damage is done.
I have self taught myself to reconize what differant drugs do and how one reacts on them. I have read, reseached, leatured, and still there is so much to learn. I am determined not to minimize my role as a parent in certian situations.......Because everytime My kids say, no fair, you are too strick or goodness mom come on not another leature........I glow. At that point I understand, I am doing the best possible for my kids. I take my mom title seriously, If a lot more folks would do this, We might prevent just one less junkie.
Thanks again
Sincerely
PUPPYPAL

I'm so glad you had the courage to ask about triple C. I saw a friend do it in college and it was not a pleasant experience for her.

I just did some research on it for a class and published an article about how triple C works and why people who swallow entire bottles of robotussin get high. Feel free to read it here, but it all comes down to how much DXM-or dextromethorphan- the peson is taking in. And yes, it is mostly tweens to young adults that are abusing DXM.
