Mi problema está con la hilación de "street" entre el tipo de drogas. Además, me confunde el orden de palabras. Agradezco su gentil apoyo.

Explanation:
En alguna ocasión he encontrado el término street para referirse a todas las drogas que se pueden encontrar fácilmente en la calle. Quizás por esta razón se utilice esta palabra.

Espero que te haya sido de ayuda.

Explanation:
Prescription drug: droga recetada o por receta.

Yo usaría el mismo orden del original, con "droga" antepuesta a los "tipos de".

También se podría redactar:

... o cualquier tipo de droga alucinógena, de la calle (callejera), alcohólica o por receta.

Incluso la de "por receta", se podría decir "droga de botiquín". Tal vez recetada a otro miembro de la familia, pero que el sujeto "enganchado" usa para "darse un viaje" o varios, desgraciadamente.

Saludos cordiales.

Y como dice el eslogan: "Di NO a la droga. Di SÍ a la vida". :-)

La estrategia de Blandón: vender la [***]droga callejera[***] más cara del mundo en algunos de los barrios más pobres de California puede parecer desconcertante, pero, en retrospectiva, ocurrió muy a tiempo.

El y sus compatriotas llegaron al área centro-sur de Los Angeles justo cuando los usuarios callejeros de drogas estaban buscando cómo hacer más accesible la cocaína: trasformar el costoso polvo blanco en pequeñas piedritas que pudieran fumarse, el crack.
