/MER-ka/
Cocaine — the most common colloquial term for the drug in Argentina and Chile. 'Merca' is street-level vocabulary, used without drama or judgment, the same way you'd name any other substance. The word is specific to the Southern Cone and understood immediately by anyone familiar with the culture.
"He got mixed up with coke and lost everything."
"That neighborhood has a serious coke problem."
