A pesar de que las categorías y las formas de medición pueden diferir, en varios países los estimulantes tipo anfetamina se clasifican entre el primer y tercer lugar de las drogas más usadas. En Japón, casi el 90 por ciento de todas las violaciones de leyes de control de droga están relacionadas a la metanfetamina. En las Filipinas, en donde se le llama "shabu", aparentemente ha llegado a ser la droga más usada desde comienzos de los 90s.

metanfetamina / shabu


Explanation:
Es el nombre como se conoce a la metanfetamina en el país.

En Filipinas, se informó que la metanfetamina (shabu) había reemplazado a la cannabis como la sustancia de más amplio uso indebido.
http://www.unodc.org/pdf/document_1997-02-17_1_es.pdf

En el japón casi el 90% de las infracciones de las leyes de fiscalización de drogas se relacionan con la metanfetamina. En Filipinas, donde se llama "shabu", parece haberse convertido en la droga más consumida desde los primeros anos 90.

anfetaminas


Explanation:
**amphetamines**: amphetamines are found in prescription drugs
and included in some diet pills, as well as in various forms on the
street. On the streets in the Philippines they are called **shabu**, a Japanese word for fast/quick, and in Australia speed or goey.

Methamphetamine (DESOXYN) is closely related chemically to amphetamine (Goodman & Gilman\'s. The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics) but it is not an amphetamine.
