Who came up with the nicknames for certain drug, i.e. Smack, Mary Jane, ect...?

Question:Why did they comeup with them, and why those words in particular. I mean, cocaine=smack. Why smack?

Answers:
Actually, smack is heroin. Mary Jane (Maria Juana in Spanish). These are slang terms that were devised mostly by their users, because things like "L" or "acid" was easier to say than Lysergic acid diethylamide, for example.
