Understanding drug-related street terms is important for law enforcement, public health, and other criminal justice professionals who work with the public. This knowledge also is helpful to parents and other adults who care about young people. For example, you might hear teens use terms you've never heard or even a common expression—such as "baker," "batman," or "babysit"—that seems out of place.
