English term or phrase: Amphetamines
I need to know colloquial Spanish words to refer to amphetamines in México and Central America (Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Puerto Rico). Basically, Spanish equivalents to words like: uppers, ups, speed, bennies, dexies, pep pills, diet pills, meth or crystal meth.
