(uncountable, slang) Cocaine.
"Charlie" is slang related to drug use: cocaine. If your teen uses it casually, it does not automatically mean they are using; many young people repeat drug slang they see in song lyrics, memes, or films without first-hand experience. However, repeated, context-specific use (talking about scoring, prices, plans for the weekend) is worth a calm, non-confrontational conversation. Ask open questions rather than reacting to the word itself, and check what they actually know about the substance.
"Charlie" is informal English meaning cocaine. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "cocaine" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "Charlie" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.

I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don't you know? You better stay away from Copperhead Road.
“Initially, she hates the tattered place, but soon she learns that the room was previously occupied by a carefree vagabond named Charlie.”
“With his aforementioned concern about the declining quality of his films because of contract scheduling stipulations, Chaplin's primary concern in finding a new distributor was independence; Sydney Chaplin, then his business manager, told the press: "Charlie \[must\] be allowed all the time he needs and all the money for producing \[films\] the way he wants...”
