I hate drug films because almost all of them feel some need to get all moralistic by the end, like someone has to end up in jail or get murdered or prostitute themselves for drug money or overdose and die something in every single drug film…of course those things happen in real life but not to as many people as films suggest.
I want to see a drug film where taking drugs helps the main character come out of a depression, fix or find a relationship, make money and get away with it without any run ins with the police, fall in love and get married, even maintain a steady job while they’re taking lots of drugs .etc. That would be really bold; showing people get messed up by drugs is cliche and just panders to social conservatives.
Although its not a film, I think Six Feet Under’s portrayal of drug use is relatively balanced.
