From Reefer Madness onward, movies and TV have historically been pretty terrible at representing real-life drug use. (Harold And Kumar perhaps comes closest to reality.) This week, we explore hilarious onscreen drug freakouts, from the funny and accurate (Freaks And Geeks) to the ridiculously over-the-top (the inimitable Death Drug and Desperate Lives). If you want to read the full Inventory, which includes lots more entries, you'll have to buy our book, conveniently titled Inventory. (Available used on Amazon for a $2.01!)
