drug den
Illegal substance locale
A drug den is a place where people gather to buy, sell, or use illegal drugs.
The term suggests a squalid, hidden location—an apartment, abandoned building, or back room where addicts congregate: Police raided the drug den and arrested six people.
Den evokes an animal's lair, implying something furtive and dangerous.
