Did anyone on this board catch the flick "The Salton Sea" with Val Kilmer as the speed freak and Vincent D'Onofrio as the noseless dealer? I have questions pertaining to the validity of the flick...
1) Are there really "speedhouses" in Cali where dozens of tweakers get together like a crackhouse?
2) Can snorting enough speed really make you have to amputate your nose?
3) Any other discrepancies b/w the movie and real life?
IMHO though the movie was excellent and really captured the speed scene as Trainspotting captured the heroin scene...
 
OK PLEASE, someone answer this! Does SNORTING *ooops* too much speed mean you have to amputate your nose ???!!!??!!!!!

OK tough guy "Techniques" I may have never SHOT heroin, but let's not be a dicksucking blueighter who flames REAL questions. Don't you realize that most people on this site have done PLENTY of everything? Myself included... so let's not make me pull a Jay and Silent Bob and fly to where you live and beat the shit out of you for flaming...

Keyword: MOVIE
It's a fucking movie. Real life is not like the movies.
C'mon? Trainspotting portrayed the heroin "scene"? What heroin scene? You think two people do the same fucking drug and that means they have everything in the world in common?
As for the nose thing, snorting too much of any kind of salt will disintegrate parts of your inner nose, often causing a deviated septum. A small surgery is required to fix this. I actually had to get some surgery done for damage likely incurred from snorting too much ketamine years ago.
At any rate, no, they don't go hacking off people's noses. I'm sure there is like one guy in the United States who was the biggest methhead ever and it really happened. Maybe it was even just an exaggeration that the movie-writer used so people would know how screwed up on meth the character was.
As for a "speedhouse" based on a "crackhouse". These things are never portrayed to be even close to how they are in reality. A real "crackhouse" is a run down building occupied by homeless squatters who just so happen to spend a lot of their day begging for change so they can buy drugs.
And other times these empty buildings are used to stash drugs in. Occassionally a SMALL handful of people.. 2-3-4 may go in to do some drugs. It's not like they are houses full of people. Dealers want to keep people out so they don't keep getting raided by the cops. The reason the drugs are stashed in them is so that open air market dealers won't have drugs on them when the cops come by. Instead what happens is someone drives by, the dealer flags them down, he finds out how much the person wants, then he goes to the building and grabs however many units of the drug needed.
 
It's a Fucking movie. How real do you think it is. Get fucking real or your gonna get flamed on every post for the rest of your bluelight life. If you really want to know go look for it & try it out yourself. Buy the way I was watching Ghost Busters the other day & wanted to know if there really is a giant stay puff marshmellow man that attacks major city's. Any help would be appreciated...
 
The lack of seriousness in your posts, Noriega, on this thread and others only indicates a HUGE EGO you can't seem to let go of... I mean I know it's a movie just like I know Trainspotting was a movie; However, I have witnessed many friends fall into the same rut Renton falls into in Trainspotting; and this just led me to ask a question. If you don't have anything nice to say...
Techniques - I didn't ask if smoking speed caused nose amputation; I asked about snorting, but I guess I should have known better...
**Goes back to bumping glass anyway**
 
The simple answer is yes, snorting meth will make you amputate your nose. What happens is you go into a speed induced psychosis where the most commonly reoccuring thought is that if I amputate my nose I can snort more meth faster. Don't fall for it!!!
ps. I hope you picked up on the sarcasm. The real answer is no, it won't make you amputate your nose in at least 99.9% of cases. Like Sovietn Contin said, prolonged use of coke and speed (coke moreso I think) leads to a deteriorated septum which as far as I know, doesn't ever regenerate.

no one asked if speed makes u amputate your nose anyway, so your attempt at sarcastic humour goes straight out the window anyway... they asked if snorting too much can lead to your nose having to be amputated, like by a doctor.

There was no mention of a dr doing the amputation in the original post. Ever hear of people getting castrated? Generally it's not done by a dr but either by themselves or some guy who gets off on castrating guys.

Um... Soviet, how much K are we talking about? You make me a little worried. I've been putting a LOT of it up me nose for a few months. Info would be appreciated.
 
OK. Eventually your nose could fall off from snorting enough of pretty much any molecule with an HCl in it (i.e. most of them) and probably a lot of them that aren't HCL salts. But it's not like you're just snorting meth one day and it just falls off. You're going to notice some pain and differences before your nose just falls off (or is in such bad shape to warrant amputation, whatever). So the short answer is "maybe" and the long answer, is, well, also "maybe". But most likely not. I've never known anyone in real life who has suffered anything much worse than a deviated septum from snorting too much of anything and I'm sure if anyone on BL has they would've posted.
 
So how about that movie? Is it worth checking out anyways? Is it a new movie just out in the states? It sounds like fun!

I dunno if it's only out in the states, but it's a very good movie. In fact, critics are saying it's a better performance by Kilmer than "The Doors" and "Tombstone." But D'Onofrio steals the show with his impeccable acting. Recommendation: See this movie with tons of tweaking friends, because at least here where I saw it the whole theater was tweaked...Almost sort of a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" type freak-reunion.
