Over the years, a heterogeneous nomenclature of abbreviations has evolved to name the numerous substances that have been identified in the illicit market. These short names may be helpful for daily communication, but are far from being named according to the rules of IUPAC. The following incomplete compilation is intended to give an overview of the abbreviations used.
