Definitions by Straight Shooter
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.

dillies
Dilaudid. A strong pharmaceutical, injectable opioid, usually found in tablet form. At one time these were in demand, but my guess would be that now the big deal is oxycontin.
Also were referred to as "DLs."

boot
Hmm...
"To inject something. Usually used in the context of drugs.
My friend booted a bunch of heroin last night."
I guess this might be a possibility. But if memory serves me well (it does so now and then), "booting" is what one does AFTER the first injection of drugs (H).
Thus, one injects and then draws some more blood into the syring/dropper and injects that. Repeatable.
