	Comments:	I'd rather not be making assumptions here.

	Comments:	Well there’s no direct reference but you can assume if one said “ あいつ、あそこでコナ吸ってるぞ。” they’re referring to cocaine, heroin, or some other powdered drug.

	Comments:	If the only source for this says heroin, that's what the entry should read, unless evidence provided for other meaning. Not really a euphemism

	Comments:	I couldn't confirm this sense in any other kokugos or via web search, but it's plausible, and sankoku is a reliable reference.

	Refs:	Sankoku: ②〔俗〕ヘロイン。
	Comments:	Interesting, not sure if it also applies to こ, sankoku doesn't have it in their こ entry so I put a restriction for now.
