The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has shared this "cheat sheet graphic" picturing some of the common emoji symbols that may be used by teens to disguise drug-related communication and content. Sharing information like this helps to decode the emoji slang associated with buying and selling drugs.
The reference guide is intended to give parents, caregivers, educators, and other influencers a better sense of how emojis are being used in conjunction with illegal drugs. Fake prescription pills that are commonly laced with deadly fentanyl and methamphetamine are often sold on social media and e-commerce platforms - making them available to anyone who has a smartphone.
