Drug Slang on Craigslist (NY Post)

[Lal Zimman]

There was an article in last week's New Yorker (if not last week, the
week before) about methamphetamines in the gay community and it
mentioned the name "tina" for the drug. I hadn't heard of the name
before reading the article but it seems to be quite common in the gay
male party circuit.
