black beauties

Dark horse capsules

Black beauties are amphetamine pills, specifically biphetamine capsules that were black in color and widely abused as stimulants from the 1960s through the 1980s.

The term persists in drug slang for various black-colored amphetamine or methamphetamine tablets: We used to pop black beauties before all-night study sessions.
