Σπιντ
Explanation:
Ο συνηθέστερος όρος είναι το "σπιντ".
Πρόκειται για μια ευρύτερη κατηγορία ναρκωτικών ουσιών στις οποίες συγκαταλέγονται, εκτός από τις αμφεταμίνες, το κρακ και η κοκαίνη.
Διαφορετικά θα μπορούσες να το αποδόσεις ως "διεγερτικές ουσίες".

speed


Explanation:
I'd rather leave it "speed" as this word is also used to describe amphetamines (stimulant drugs). You could translate it as "διεγερτικά (speed)". However, perhaps more context could be useful.
