Drugs talk...ideas...

Video clips

It's all gone Pete Tong - there's lot of bad language in it, but there's a couple of scene's that you might be able to use if you wanted to talk about the addictive effects of coke...chapter 5 and 22. It involves a giant badger.
Trainspotting
Starsky and Hutch - I seem to remember that Hutch dabbed with some drugs
Zoolander - I think there's a bit about two thirds through the movie when Matilda gets high and does all kinds of crazy things. I'll have to dig out the tape to see if it's relevant.
I just remembered that I have a copy of Traffic on my self...it's been there for about a year...

Watched this last night...not a brilliant film, it does however show how been off your head can cause you to get into difficult situations...this guy called Mitch ends up nearly shooting someone after doing some LSD (he didn't realise). The film seems to suggest that it messed his brain up big time...not just for the short term, but that there will be long term consequences.

Speaking of consequences...
