Wikipedia

  1. Speedball (drug)

    Speedball, powerball, or over and under, is an umbrella term used to describe the polydrug mixture of a stimulant with a depressant. Common stimulants and depressant used for recreational drug use include cocaine or amphetamine with heroin, morphine, and/or fentanyl that may be taken intravenously or by nasal insufflation.Speedballs often give stronger effects than either drug when taken alone due to drug synergy, and are considered a particularly hazardous mixture that can easily cause heart attack, respiratory arrest and death. Evidence suggests that when compared to single drugs, speedballs are more likely to lead to addiction, and users are more likely to relapse and also to overdose.
