Straight Shooter's definitions

trey

A three-dollar bag of heroin, ~1969 NYC, anyway. There were also the deuce and dime bags - self-explanatory.

A five-dollar bag of the goods was, for reasons I have never been able to comprehend, known as a "pound" bag, rarely a "nickel bag," such term being used mainly for weed.

Four and six dollar bags were called just that, fours and sixes.

The denomination one found might well depend on where in the city you were. For example, treys were common all over the LES, while deuces seemed to prevail in areas of the Bronx.

heroin

God's own medicine and no doubt about it. The previous definer who said it "sits alone atop the drug tree" was right on. If it were legalized in the US, property crimes would plummet.
Heroin is derived from opium and described as follows:

Stand Up Guy

Someone who won't give up anything under interrogation.
Standing up to questioning.
Cop: Awright asshole, where'd you get that illegal substance?
Guy: I dunno what that is or how it got there. Never seen it before.
Cop: Oh yeah? We're gonna lock up up and throw away the key if you don't tell us where you got that stuff.
Guy: I don't know NOTHIN' about it!

Dig it, you are a stand up guy!

desoxyn

Pharmaceutical methamphetamine hydrochloride in pill form.
Biggest bang for the buck is to soak it in H20, thus extracting the active element. You get a pale yellowish solution. Tie up, IV, and hang on when the rush hits.

Disclaimer: I don't recommend doing this.
"I just scored some Desoxyn. You got gimmicks? We can get fucked up all night now!"

across the board

Combination win-place-show bet at a race track. Your horse has to come in no worse than third for you to get $$ back.

T4

Tylenol #4.
60 mg codeine + 300 mg acetaminophen. Schedule III.
Much harder to get a scrip for than T3 (30 mg codeine etc etc). Nice work if you can get it. According to the DEA, straight codeine is available, but it is Schedule II.
Wow, I talked my doctor into a scrip for 60 T4s!

proximity infatuation

Constant close quarters lead to intense attraction.
This was first explained by Zelda Gilroy to Dobie Gillis in the 1959-1963 TV series, The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis, except Zelda called it "Propinquity."
I am experiencing proximity infatuation right now.
Me, thinking about F colleague: She is beautiful. I want to...I want to....(you know what)

F colleague: Says nothing, how is she supposed to know what I am thinking? Is SHE thinking the same thing?
----------------
First, of all, I'm not that sure she IS beautiful, but it doesn't matter any more, I am infatuated. My wife would not approve of any of this and does not need to know. It's not going anywhere, anyway. Sigh.
