What does «oxi» mean in Spanish?
- A cheap and highly addictive drug, a by-product obtained from the cocaine hydrochloride manufacturing process. It is composed of cocaine remains, mixed with lime and gasoline or kerosene, resulting in a brownish-white substance. It is usually marketed in powder form or in the form of yellowish or whitish stones. It is consumed in perforated cans, similar to crack, which makes the smoke purer and with an even stronger effect. It is also crushed inside cigarettes, often mixing it with other drugs such as tobacco, marijuana, etc. Sometimes it is also snorted to make it powder.
Examples of use in Spanish: "ha aumentado el consumo de oxi de forma alarmante"
