| Queer as Folk Drug Use |
[Oct. 3rd, 2010|03:03 pm] |
Can anyone explain the drug use? I am confused. I don't know what a speed bump is. And I don't know what Brian is snorting when we see him snort white powder (nor what Justin is snorting when see him do it), though I am assuming it's cocaine, since it's cleaner and more expensive and easier to sober up from (not causing a big low like with crystal). But, isn't a speed bump crystal? I know Brian snorts bumps and also gives them to Michael. And he uses ecstasy and special K and has fed one or both of these to Michael, presumably more than once.
Now, I understand that there's a difference between recreational use of drugs and being an addict, which is what Ted becomes. But I don't understand how the show makes it seem like trying crystal even once seems like this huge taboo to people who use many different types of (what I consider) hard drugs (and Brian and Justin even spike the punch at Linds and Mel's brunch).
Anyone? |
