street drug
Black market narcotic
A street drug is an illegal or controlled substance sold through illicit channels rather than pharmacies—heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and the like.
The term distinguishes drugs obtained on the black market from prescription medications, though prescription drugs sold illegally become street drugs: Street drugs are often cut with fentanyl now.
The modifier street emphasizes both illegality and danger from unregulated production.
