    There have been a couple of documentaries on HBO over the decades where they embed with opiate addicts. (Black Tar Heroin: The Dark End of the Street)[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221023/] in 2000, and (The Crime of the Century)[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14055432/]. In the first, a guy talks about how he’ll spend an hour searching for a vein before shooting up into his dick. In the second, a young mother looks wistful as she recounts her former drug use. She disappeared, abandoning her kids, the next day and OD’d shortly after.

    I say we show documentaries like these to kids in school. The fucking DARE program made me believe that all drugs were equally terrible. Then I tried pot and realized I’d been lied to. All kinds of other drugs followed.

      Crime of the Century is excellent. It’s a perfect blend of heavy addiction stories, medical malpractice and white collar crime mystery.
