Anecdotage and Romanticizing H

Though a good chunk of this is probably BS, it's enjoyable BS on Valentine's Eve, nonetheless.

AND

Saw American Gangster last week on HBO.

Heroin movies, I find, are the most romantic of all drug movies.

Case in point: Gia. Trainspotting. Requiem for a Dream. And now, American Gangster.

Okay maybe romantic is not the right word, but I dare you to sleep in the middle of these films. Because seeing someone shoot coke is not as scary as when you see someone shoot up H. Because Hollywood taught us that Heroin users either end up dead in a)the empty bathtub b) the toilet with molds c) the hospital with AIDS or d) among the homeless in the dumpster. Isn't that worth staying up?

Plus the Denzel is the LURV.

speaking of heroin
Ei, speaking of heroin, check out the NAOMI trial, which has looked at using heroin-assisted therapy for chronic opiate addiction.

Interesting shit. Well, controversial is always interesting.

Re: speaking of heroin
I think they do that in Alaska as well. They give modified derivatives of opiates since its hard to wean chronic users off.

Annd was watching the dead baby part in Trainspotting... very relevant to Valentine's Day (in my world at least).

Oh oh... Slumdog Millionaire??? Watched? Not? Comment?

;p
