I have a drug addict in my script recommend a drug like pot but stronger and more addictive?

You can probably find everything you are looking for here:

Pot's not addictive. Coke is. I've known addicts who kept it together, alcoholics too. I wouldn't go with meth or crack as eventually you'll see the physical effects, scabs and whatnot.

And nicotine is more addictive than coke... How could you write that in would prob not do you any good, so Ceili's thoughts probably would be a good one...

Then again, "I have addictions" drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, pot gambling I'm an addict.

depending on what area this is set in, you could write in ( while keeping the pot) your addict making what is called a coco-puff.

They roll a joint, press it in shape with the paper then sprinkle a line of cocaine on it, lick it up and smoke it.
People.. before they get to be full blown, selling their ass type addicts will use that method to calm down to try to sleep. Granted.. the weed you find now does not always calm people down... BUT.. hey, its easier to go with the idea that it does in order to get the point across.

You could ten write into the conversation your addict saying something like " this is what i do with the last of my dope so i dont freak out.." or what ever..


If you want to move away from pot all together and have them do harder drugs, but due to the story line, or that current scene NEED to have a down time so to speak, you can have the character do a speed ball. Shooting or smoking a combination of cocaine + heroin. If the character is a REAL junkie, then the speed ball will match them much better. If ..in the story the character is progressing down the line of addiction , a coco-puff would fit too, depending on where he is in his descent .

hope that helps.

I vote OxyContin. commonly called "oxycotton." It's a popular favorite drug to abuse by crushing and snorting. Highly addictive.

If your story is set in Hawaii, the drug of choice, without the slightest doubt, would be "ice" or "meth", i.e. methamphetamine. Its use has reached epidemic proportions here. I hear it's becoming a problem in certain areas of the West Coast as well. Strange, I never heard of it's use on the East Coast when I was living there, not once.

i would personally recommend the smoking of opium as it is extremely addictive and fits the criteria for a depressant. This would also be effective to a large group of people as the derivatives from opium are abused by a large amount of people. You could maybe start them off on opiates and progress them to opium. good luck.

Frankly, I think the scenario that was used in a Woody Allen movie, snorting coke (still quite popular) is a good one, lots of humor you can derive with that drug, or not....been there done that, liked it

Smoking heroin. There is an interesting dycodomy between smokers and shooters. Shooters call smokers a waste of the drug but smokers call shooters junkies cause they get track marks. Both can mess you up but heroin smokers can hide their addiction much easier. Its a cool dark drug. Not as pretentious as cocaine and not as insane as meth.

Oh dear dear dear.
