En Puerto Rico, se le llama así al lugar donde se vende la droga. Encontré muchos documentos que usaban el término "drug point", pero todos parecían ser de Puerto Rico. No sé si en EEUU haya un término más idiomático y coloquial para ese tipo de lugares. En este caso, me aparece en un artículo de periódico. ¡Gracias!
