A very common mixture of drugs that has made plenty of headlines in the last 40 years is the speedball.

A speedball or (Powerball) refers to mixing heroin and cocaine together. Heroin is a downer. Heroin is a central nervous system depressant. It slows down your heart rate and breathing and brings a calming effect. Cocaine is an upper. Cocaine speeds up your heart rate and breathing and is an energizing drug. Using both these substances at once is known as a speedball or powerball.

The combination of these 2 drugs don’t cancel each other out they increase each others high. This means 1 + 1 doesn’t = 2. Due to the effects of drug synergy 1+1 = 3. The common speedball we hear about in the news and pop culture is mixing heroin and cocaine. The person doing this gets an extreme rush from the cocaine and then a calming effect from the heroin directly after. Many users believe by mixing an upper and a downer it will cancel the negative effects of the other drug. Finding a perfect balance of two opposing drugs rarely if ever happens.

I have done hundreds if not thousands of speedballs during my active addiction. It became so bad I couldn’t do one without the other. If I had heroin I would wait to do it until I got cocaine and vice versa.
