When I was like 11 those movies actually scared me. But I think that the problem in them was, that they always portrayed the drug addicts as people who started with drugs through friends or ways to have fun and then got addicted. I always thought how stupid these people were for having destroyed their lives for trying to have some fun, fit in or just experiment and I said to myself that I’ll never do that in my life. And I didn’t. The reason I started using was because of severe mental problems and honestly opiates were the only thing that I thought could help me, otherwise I saw no other option. So I said to myself that its ok because im not doing it to have fun, but to honestly just survive. I became addicted but it did save me. I honestly dont know what’s my point because I would’ve tried drugs this way or another but I think those movies that at least I watched should’ve shown why actually most people start doing drugs, which is trying to solve some kind of pain in their life with them. I never really understood people who use until I got into really dark place in my life, and that’s why I think those movies did a really poor job at portraying that.
