Bennies (slang term for Benzedrine)

[Jerry E Kane]

When I saw the post bennies, I immediately thought of the slang term bennies
(or uppers, circa 1950's for Benzedrine tablets) used by people to get a
euphoric temporary high and to ward off sleep.  The drug was very popular among
beatniks.  See the following website:
