New to the ED

Specialties Emergency

Published

I recently switched to the ED, and frequently see ODs. Any idea where to get info on street/illegal drugs and their effects?

Specializes in ED.

However, there's a handy pdf for some of the more common drugs: http://www.drugabuse.gov/sites/default/files/cadchart.pdf

Don't even attempt to memorize all of the slang out there for them; far too many names that change frequently. As proof, check this list out: Slang Names For Street Drugs

Great sources, thank you! I'm switching to ED in the next couple of weeks, so I'm sure these references will come in handy at some point.
