where is the rest of the list? Also: Party Monster — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.96.187.254 (talk • contribs) 02:03, September 13, 2006
I remember Alcohol and Marijuana, but I don't remember the use of LSD in Dazed and Confused. Maybe I'm wrong. Anybody care to refresh my memory? Ph33rspace 07:11, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm, as I went down the list of films I realised that there wasn't any reference to alcohol use. I assume that this is because that alcohol use is too prevalent, and not because somebody believed that alcohol is not a mind-altering substance, which it most definetly is. Does everybody agree that this article should specify that it refers to recreational drug use excluding alcohol due to the prevalence? Ph33rspace 00:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Alcohol and nicotine and caffeine should all be added. Plus pharmaceuticals otherwise this article is incorrect, biased and untrue! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.188.68 (talk) 12:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
For Naked Lunch, I am unsure if it was actually heroin that was the drug in the movie or if it was a fictional drug...though I am not totally sure as that move was really crazy and confusing and I know that the book that it is based on is written by a writer, William S. Burroughs, who was an opiate addict and had written about heroin in other books...but I am not sure if it is just the book that is about heroin and the movie was a weird adaptation or if both are about heroin or if both are about a fictional drug. Just wondering, so that if Naked Lunch isn't about heroin then it can be changed. Weephar 07:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Stoner film probably ought to be merged into this article, or at least listed as a "See also." 63.215.28.84 12:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
The characters smoke marijuana throughout and there is one reference to "shooting shit". Also, at the end of the film one of the men takes a bag of heroin from the body of a dead VC. Maybe this should be included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.243.169.71 (talk • contribs) 15:55, July 27, 2007
Is not alcohol a drug? Shouldn't those films that have alchol use/abuse in them be noted as well? "Ethanol is a centrally-acting drug with a depressant effect........" Straight from Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikzaring (talk • contribs) 15:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
This list needs to define "drug" properly. It is currently only listing illegal drugs. Legal drugs (caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, prescription) should be included on this list. It's dumb to list Beerfest because of cannabis use because beer is in the title! Otherwise the article title should be "List of films containing illegal drug use". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.138.42 (talk) 01:29, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Drug movies? What exactly is the criteria? there are thousands of movies whee people use drugs, not all of them focus on substances. I really dont think some movies should be listed...please revise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wickedxjade (talk • contribs) 10:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I honestly dont remember ANY marijuana use in this movie. I think this movie should be removed from this list.

---During the driving scene, where B-Rabbit was driving his old, run down car. The people in the car where smoking marijuana and passing it along to each other. (ShinFuYux) —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShinFuYux (talk • contribs) 07:43, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
I noticed at least one case of MDMA being used with a majority of "Ecstasy" for all others. Ecstasy is not a drug, rather slang for MDMA, thus I suggest all movies including MDMA (or "Ecstasy") should be referred to as MDMA instead here on out. I'm going to change to already existing ones. If anyone disagrees feel free to put in your say.--Astavats (talk) 05:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Adrenochrome. "(fictionalized, as it's not truly a recreational drug)." is to some degree misleading as it seems to infer that it is drug. it isnt necessarily a drug as much as its adrenaline for injections that has oxidized and has become useless. aka pink adrenalin/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Think8359 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
The very vast majority of the films here are not drug films. They're simply films that mention drugs To be defined as a drug film, the prevailing theme of the movie or lead character should be drugs/drug addict. Best examples include Man with a Golden Arm, Drugstore Cowboy, Valley of the Dolls. Just a doobie joke doesn't doesn't make it a drug film. If a movie has a car in it, is it a "car film"? What a load of bollocks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.242.191 (talk) 20:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
I fully agree, to consider "9" a drug movie is just bizarre. And it wasn't the only example. I believe this list should only depict movies where drugs (including alcohol) is playing a major role for its development. A grand example would be "Requiem for a dream" but also "Traffic". ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.224.155.20 (talk) 20:27, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
With Ali G in da house there was also a lot of or marijuana use —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.94.55.29 (talk) 16:47, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
I added Little Miss Sunshine and Donnie Darko as both show hard drugs being snorted. Donkey Punch shows significant drugs use (mainly extremely strong stimulants) and should be mentioned. As for requiem for a dream, I have knowledge of pharmacology: the pills shown as prescribed to Ellen Burstyn's character are never named except as "uppers" and "something for sleep". The 75,100 and 175 markings suggest a derivative of amphetamine or similar (eg Preludin) as this dosage of actual amphetamine is impossible. 5mg-20mg IR/ 15-40mg ER is the therapeutic dose (see Adderall/Dexedrine). Therefore I wrote as "Stimulants". The depressant drug is unlikely to be a benzodiazepine in 1970s New York, and certainly not diazepam (never a green "300" pill made.) The only sleep inducer normally given as 300mg is methaqualone (now schedule I, then not). The pills could also be fakes made specially for the film. Why would anyone suggest "DXM"? She has no dissociative effects etc. and all that is seen is liquid drank out of a brown bottle. As this is part of the withdrawal scene, Methadose is far more likely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.23.228 (talk) 19:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
I don't remember any drugs appearing in Lost in Translation (except alcohol, of course). Perhaps there were some used during the karaoke/night-on-the-town scene, but that hardly qualifies as drugs as "either as a major theme or as a few memorable scenes." Can someone refresh my memory, or is this a bad entry, like so many of the films in that list that only happen to mention drugs once or twice without it ever being actually significant to the film?

Shrek 2? Really? Shrek 2? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.100.221.126 (talk) 06:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm moving at least Donnie Darko and Shrek II. I'm sorry, anti-psychotic medicine/placebo, while technically a drug, should not belong on this list. In any case, the neither the medicine Donnie uses or the catnip is in any way "memorable" or that central.
This list is just insulting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.249.185.131 (talk) 00:25, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
By definition "Drug Film" means: 1: Movie/film/documentary with drug use as the - leading story line topic, action of interest, and/or point of interest in film creation. 2: Movie/film with drug use, the sale of drugs, or the handling and/or distribution of drugs as a key topic throughout it's script. Either in character lines or stage props. 3: Movie/film/documentary with drug use, drug language (lingo), mention of drugs by name, uses, effects or method of intake, sale of drugs, thoughts of drugs, or the tools and instruments used to harvest, manufacture, or create drugs. 4: Movie/film/documentary created by the use and/or spending of resources obtained with drugs - their use or sale.
This list of films should be broken up into sections. Shrek isn't the same genre of film as Requiem for a Dream just as Zombieland isn't rated the same as Party Monster. A section should however be listed to include the name of every film from every section. We've got a great list started. We need to organize it better.

I just noticed that the list featured The Life of Rayful Edmond which is a documentary - I removed it as I don't think this list should also list documentaries. Or am I wrong on that?
