Question
My mates were smoking something called 'kryptonite' the other day, but I've no idea what it is. Can you tell me more about it?
Answer
A lot of different street names, or slang words, are used when referring to drugs, sometimes making it hard to know what certain names mean, especially because the names can be different in each country, county and city.
Kryptonite is a name that is used for a certain type of cannabis. What makes this confusing is that kryptonite is also a street name for crack cocaine. Since both of these drugs can be smoked, it's difficult to say which one your mates were using.
If your mates are smoking either of these they need to be aware of the risks and effects. You might want to get further information and advice about cannabis and crack so that you can help your mates stay safe. Contact Frank on 0800 776600 for free and confidential advice and information.
