To me it's too close to the drug benzedrine which is an amphetamine commonly called speed. In it's prescription form it was referred to as bennies and was (is) popular amongst truck drivers in order to stay awake.
Here's an interesting article on early beat writers burning out on speed thinking they found freedom.

If we're talking about drugs, it's actually a commonly used term to refer to the class of benzodiazipine drugs like Valium, Xanax, Ativan, Rohypnol, etc.
We talk about Benzo's in my job often

Sorry to derail this thread, but could someone please explain to me why they changed Cali's name? Thanks
Sure, I can.
After a particularly awful game by the Flames, I started a post-game thread and sarcastically said I didn't want to be a Flames fan anymore, and jokingly asked the mods to change my name to Cali Panthers Fan instead. I honestly didn't think it would happen, but one of the mods thought it would be funny to do so.
I'd gladly have it changed back, but it seems to be a running joke now on the boards, so I imagine it will stick for a while.

He jumped off the bandwagon after (IIRC) the loss to the Oilers, and asked to have "Flames" taken out of his username.
I think the consensus opinion on CP is that he should not be allowed to change it back, and must wear "Panthers" as a mark of shame forever (even though he does follow the Panthers as a 2nd team).
Edit: ^Yeah, what he said^
