"Speedball (alternatively known as snowballing or powerballing) is a term commonly referring to the hazardous[1] intravenous use of heroin and cocaine together in the same syringe. The combination is also known as moonrockswhen smoked.

Cocaine acts as a stimulant, whereas heroin acts as a depressant. Coadministration provides an intense rush of euphoria with a high that combines both effects of the drugs, while excluding the negative effects, such as anxiety and sedation.

The effects of cocaine wear off far more quickly than heroin, thus if an overdose of heroin was used to compensate for cocaine, the end result is fatal respiratory depression.

Though not commonly referred to as a speedball, substituting cocaine with methamphetamine can exclude this risk."
