Ice - a slang term for smokeable methamphetamine, has a translucent rock-like appearance and is a highly addictive and toxic amphetamine.
Opiates - a major class of drugs that depress the central nervous system and are used principally to relieve pain. Examples include morphine, heroin, and codeine.
Heroin - highly addictive drug derived from morphine, is obtained from the opium poppy. It is a "downer" that affects the brain's pleasure systems and interferes with its ability to perceive pain. Heroin can be injected into a vein or a muscle; smoked through a water pipe or standard pipe; mixed in a marijuana joint or regular cigarette; inhaled as smoke through a straw or as powder through the nose. Heroin users quickly develop a tolerance for the drug and need more and more to get the same high.
