Yes, beanies are drugs. Beanies is street slang for methamphetamine. Methamphetamine also goes by the names crystal meth, speed, ice, glass, spoosh, rock, cristina, tina, crypto, fast, cris, clear and sketch. Tell your parents about it. Your brothers may be using drugs. If you want to know more about “beanies”, I’ve added links for further info.
