Поскольку это сленг

вероятно надо выбирать какой-то аналог:

speed

I think the word you're looking for is "speed" (it's specifically the powdered form). Other slang names may refer to amphetamines in general or to a different form. For example, "base" refers to an oily, sticky paste and "ice" to chunks of crystalline powder."

"WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH AMPHETAMINES?
SPEED
Looks like a powder and will vary in colour from white to pink through to a muddy brown. Most speed is manufactured on an ad hoc basis so consistency in the quality and strength will vary. Speed is made by adding cutters to an original base so you never quite know what you're going to get with this one."

"What are amphetamines? Speed is an off-white or pinkish powder".
