It’s usually an off-white or pinkish powder and can sometimes look like crystals. It’s also available in a paste form which is usually white/grey or brown in colour, and can be damp and gritty.

What is speed?

This product is classed as a ‘stimulant’ because it speeds up the messages going to and from your brain. It is part of the amphetamine family of drugs, which includes the more potent crystal meth (ice).

Some amphetamines are prescribed by doctors to treat medical conditions such as narcolepsy (an uncontrollable urge to sleep) or ADHD. Others, are produced and sold illegally.

The powder form can range in colour from white to brown and may contain traces of grey or pink. Its ingredients can vary so you don’t really know how strong each dose is, or even what’s in it. It has a strong smell and bitter taste. It can be swallowed, injected, smoked or snorted. It’s also known as whizz, gogo, pure, goey, snow, go-go, Lou Reid, Louey and gas.
