Drug vocabulary is hard to find. It's usually not in the normal dictionaries because it is slang, and it's not in slang dictionaries because drugs are too taboo. Usually, it is a rich and actively changing area of a language due to the underground nature of what it deals with.
How do you talk about drugs and their effects in your language?
In English, you can be:
high, stoned, or loaded
In a sentence:
I'm really high right now
Let's go get stoned
I'm so loaded
A cannabis smoker might:
smoke a bowl
take a hit
roll a joint
How would you translate these in your language? What are common drug terms you use that wouldn't appear in a dictionary?
