Next time you get "amped out" on "sextasy" and wind up in a "k-hole" don't tell your mom. Forbes.com has published a new drug-slang quiz for parents that totally lets the "cat" out of the "bag".
Are they serious? Dr. Dreâs marijuana-themed album "The Chronic" came out in 1992. And "schwag" of course is a derogatory term for really bad marijuana thatâs been in use forever as far as I know.
More highlights:

Answer: (b). Meth users have jobs? I heard all they did was rob gas stations and pluck out their eyebrows.
