"There's no risk.
I'll whisk them up in no moonlight.
Though pigs can fly,
They'll never find me
Posing as the night,
I'm home before the morning--"

Police given 3,000 word 'A to Z of drugs slang' to stay ahead of criminals
Police officers are being issued with a list of almost 3,000 slang words and phrases associated with illegal drugs, in order to stay one step ahead of criminals.
The document has been drawn up by the Police National Legal Database (PNLD) for use by all forces in England and Wales.
A copy has been obtained by The Sunday Telegraph under Freedom of Information legislation.
In total, it contains 2,875 words and phrases, used by drug criminals.
On the list are around 250 words for heroin alone, including "old steve", "nurse", "lemonade", "hairy", "george", "dog food", "rambo", "elephant", "scott", "gravy", "jack", "helen", "henry", "jones", "witch", "horsebite", "dead on arrival" and "pangonadalot".
The term "Aunt Hazel" is also used – although this should not be confused with "Aunt Mary" (marijuana) and "Aunt Nora" (cocaine).
The names of some celebrities are also used as codes for drugs by criminals, including "Kate Bush", for marijuana, and "Jerry Springer", for heroin.

Oh dear oh dear. Posts in this area of the forum mostly do not pique my interest, but I had to see what this was all about... glad to see that Kate's name is being well used by our friends in the drug trade. ;D

...and as a standard of excellence!

Marijuana Dictionary - K
Kate Bush = Kind Bud. Actually pronounced "Kine" in origin Hawaii, probably switched to Kind on continent. "Kine" is the hawaiian word for "excellent". Furthmore-- kine bud is not a specific strain of bud (i.e. Northern Lights, Afghani-Skunk, White Widow). It is a term for higher quality bud-- usually ones whose genetics (strains) are not known but is of higher potency than schwag.
