speedball
Upper meets downer
Speedball is a dangerous drug combination mixing a stimulant with a depressant—typically cocaine or methamphetamine with heroin or morphine.
The mix produces an intense high but carries extreme overdose risk, as the drugs mask each other's warning signs.
Several celebrities have died from speedballs.
In sports, speedball is also a fast-paced game combining elements of soccer, basketball, and handball.
