      Meth =/= speed although they are similar

      Edit to clarify: all meth is speed; not all speed is meth. Any variety of amphetamine can be referred to as speed, but saying adderall is meth would not be correct. So I’m wrong here. My bad guys!

          Historically it meant amphetamines, but it can apply to both now. Street language isn’t exactly set in stone.

          I always have called amphetamines (adderall, dex, Ritalin, etc) speed. Meth is crank. Just google “speed drug” the first thing that pops up is amphetamines

          They are very similar though
