Σπιντ

Ο συνηθέστερος όρος είναι το "σπιντ".
Πρόκειται για μια ευρύτερη κατηγορία ναρκωτικών ουσιών στις οποίες συγκαταλέγονται, εκτός από τις αμφεταμίνες, το κρακ και η κοκαίνη.
Διαφορετικά θα μπορούσες να το αποδόσεις ως "διεγερτικές ουσίες".

speed

I'd rather leave it "speed" as this word is also used to describe amphetamines (stimulant drugs). You could translate it as "διεγερτικά (speed)". However, perhaps more context could be useful.
