A recreational drug combination that consists of 2 different kinds of pharmaceutical drugs that are often interchanged with eachother. Drug users
will often use this combo as the "downer" can counter some of the negative effects they
may experience from the "upper" for a more pleasant high.
1 or more pharma grade "downer" such as...
• Benzodiazepines - Xanax, Klonopin, Valium
• Opioids / Opiates - Hydromorphone, Codeine, Morphine, Percocet
• Hypnotics - Ambien, Zopiclone, Lunesta (uncommon)
Mixed with 1 or more other pharma grade "upper" (with some exceptions)
• Amphetamines -
Adderall, Vyvanse, Dexedrine
• Misc Stimulants - Methylphenidate, Large dose Caffeine, Cocaine
The
name Suburban Speedball comes from the combo being
popular for middle class & affluent drug users. Possibly due to pills being easy for wealthy people to obtain or a sense that the combo is more
safe because it doesn't involve "
hard" drugs
like Heroin, Crack or Meth.
Ironically, Suburban Speedballs
may be more dangerous than a traditional Speedball. Mixing pills, especially more than 2 can have a list of potential side effects &
even side effects that have never been seen or known how to be effectivley treated when lots of different drugs are combined.
It's highly advised to avoid this combo, there can be fatal consequences easily if your not extremely knowledgeable about pharmacology & dosing. Users should always practice harm reduction if this is ever attempted.
