I have seen a lot of people act like Brittany Murphy or John Leguizamo in Spun while high on meth.
OOOOOFFFFFFF ooof ooof 
…however, the ECT administered to mom in Requiem was grossly out of date, and the diagnostic and treatment aspects of her experience are exaggeratedly bad (I have worked on the psych service in city hospitals).
:dubious: I beg to differ. Mixing cocaine and heroin does not make you straight. it just leaves you awake enough to enjoy being on heroin 
.
I’m getting lost here…it seems like every drug related movie out there has been sited for being realistic in some respect. What movie, aside from Reefer Madness, should we consider implausable?
The Butterfly Effect comes to mind.
Well, supposedly Frank Sinatra’s The Man With the Golden Arm was realistic, given the limits of the era. One element confused me for the first half-hour, though. Sinatra, fresh out of prison/rehab, keeps getting called “Dealer” by the crooks in his neighborhood, and they seem eager to get him back to “dealing” and forget any effort to go straight. Natch, I thought this mean Sinatra’s character was a drug dealer, which would fit in perfectly with him being an addict as well, but it turns out he’s a highly-regarded poker dealer, complete with all the snappy patter (“Two ladies” / “Busted flush” / “Lookin’ at a Straight” etc.) Now why the crooks are so eager to get him back to card table, when the job doesn’t really look so difficult that anybody could do it, is something you can probably only understand while stoned.
“In your face, space coyote!”
Growning up really square, and having never even tried pot, is 21 Grams realistic? I liked it quite a bit, but whadda I know?
No mention of stoner Jeff Spicoli as portayed by Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High? He was a perfect double for some of the stoners in my high school, right down to his dialog with Mr. Hand.
There’s a british film called “the football factory” that has cocaine use down pat.
They get the whole over-confident and paranoid at the same time thing spot on.
Mind you that film didn’t just use actors - so who knows?
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: “Did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?”
The number of times that’s run through my own head, though due to different substances (I’m not even sure what he’s meant to be on at the beginning of the movie/book).
When Homer Simpson thinks the golf pro shop with the high steps is an Egyptian pyramid, that’s a damn good portrayal of an acid/mushroom type thing.
Frank Zappa’s movie 200 Motels (or some number, I forget) is good at catching the pace and momentum of such a trip.
Trainspotting captures the lifestyle and desparate-ness of heroin.
And Cheech and Chong do a good job on pot.
