This is the first time I’m seeing the word Pervitin in English, while that’s pretty much the only word my language uses. Most people wouldn’t know what methamphetamine is, but everyone has heard of Pervitin. I thought it was some local-only name, guess it’s time to learn the etymology.
Thought so. I’m just not well traveled within Finland and thought it might be some little town word, but I am “well travelled” digitally in the drug circles and communities and have never seen anyone Finnish refer to it as such.
Well, maybe once or twice, jokingly.
But I wasn’t sure if Pervitin was a reich-wide product or a specific Finnish name for it. Apparently the former.

It’s literally a brand, like heroin was.
Local to Finland… ?
Nah, Czechia.

(Although Finland wasn’t a part of the reich)
