All Eyez on Drugz

Today we will talk about drugs. Not what they do to you, but what is the slang terminology on the streets. In essence, you probably have figured out the fact that I just have run out of things to write about. Drugs on the streets are a great source of revenue for criminals and gang members. Cocaine on the streets is known by many alias. People often call it" coc, yola, Yolanda, and White Girl". Cociane is usually distributed in grams or what is called an " 8 ball". "8 ball" is 3.5 grams of cocaine. This is the highest amount of cocaine that dealers usually sell on the streets. Any thing over that, drug dealers are usually afraid to distribute in fear of severe penalties that can be posed on them by the law.
On the street you can also find Ecstasy. It is often called " thizz, pill, or X ". There are several different types of pills that you can buy. They are formed by the amount of M.D.M.A which stands for methylene dioxy meth amphetamine (http://www.csdp.org/publicservice/whatwekn.htm). You can usually buy Ecstasy pills in what they call " stacks". You can purchase a single, double, triple, and quadruple stacks. The higher the level, the more M.D.M.A. However, most Ecstasy pills are mixed with crystal meth, so they are usually dirty pills. However, you can purchase pure Ecstasy pills which are more expensive, but they do not contain any crystal meth, only M.D.M.A. Pill prices average from $2 dollars to $25 dollars, depending on what stack they are.
Finally there is marijuana. Often called " dank, weed, bomb, fire, green, and yes, grass". Weed is the easiest of all the drugs to be purchased on the streets. You can purchase weed in " tensions (.5 grams), dubs (1.0 grams), eights (3.5 grams), quarter's (7.0 grams, half O's 14.0 grams), and Zips (28.0 grams)". It is the most used illegal substance or drug on the street. This is the only drug that many support in legalizing, especially do to the fact that it serves as a medical purpose for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
