The top illegal drugs used in America are: Marijuana, which has been legalized in some states but continues to be an illegal drug of abuse- ("weed", "herb") Heroin, which has become a deadly epidemic and has almost doubled in the past 3 years in it's use and abuse-("dope") Cocaine/crack cocaine- ("coke", "powder". "white") Hallucinogens- "acid", "PCP"," Ecstasy". "Angel Dust")

Methamphetamines ("speed", "meth", "crystal", "glass") Illegal prescription drugs- some of the categories: OPIATES: oxycodone, hydrocodone, oxycontin, MS Contin, morphine,Fentanyl, Darvocet, codeine, and many others. BENZODIAZEPINES: Xanax, valium, Ativan, Clonazepam (Klonopin) and many others. STIMULANTS: Adderall, Ritalin, Dexedrine and many others (used primarily for treating Attention Deficit Disorder) Many other drugs not mentioned are used and abused in America on a daily basis including steroids and are quickly becoming one of the top ten most used illegal drugs.

*an illegal prescription drug is defined as ANY medication, no matter what category or if it is a "controlled substance" or not, that is not being used properly as directed by a physician, or is being transferred sold, or given to another person it was not intended for.
