shabu

Shabu (Syabu) is slang for crystalized methamphetamine in Japan. Shabu comes from the Japanese word shaburu, which means to suck. A couple in Japan were arrested for possession of Shabu and went to court. After they both were sentenced to 18 months in prison, the Judge said to the couple `methamphetamine will suck (shaburu) the very marrow from the bones`(metaphorically speaking) And thats how Shabu got its name
