Read something that made me laugh out loud and made me curious about the drug too. It's from the Rick Bragg biography of Jerry Lee Lewis and Jerry mentions a type of speed he took in the 70s I think he calls "Desoxy's" - I think is another name for Desbutol - which was 5mg of methamphetamine and 30mg of nembutal. Jerry says something "We went all over the country on em. Best goddamn pill there ever was. It was speed but you had a little barbiturate in there so you could lay your head down and 30 minutes later be asleep. God A'mighty! Them motherfuckers was so good they had to BAN them".
My speed days are long behind me but that does sound like a speedheads perfect pill.
Another bit was Jerry getting busted on his private plane and them finding 13 DIFFERENT types of speed on the plane (he got off cos they couldn't prove who they belonged to).
"What did Elvis ever do apart from take dope I couldn't get?"
