"Dominoes" is a slang term used to refer to amphetamine.
Amphetamine is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. While it has legitimate medical applications, such as treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy, it is also widely subject to misuse and illicit use. Individuals who misuse amphetamine often seek its stimulant effects, which can include increased alertness, energy, and a heightened sense of focus.
Slang terms like "dominoes" emerge within drug subcultures primarily to obscure the true nature of the substance being discussed. This helps users communicate discreetly about illicit activities, making it more challenging for law enforcement or other outsiders to intercept and understand their conversations.
