In MTV’s True Life: I’m Addicted to Meds, one of the subjects is 20-year-old student Evan, an OxyContin addict. In this clip, he and his girlfriend make smoking dope seem really unappealing.

Usually when people get fucked up, they’re doing so to forget about the problems in their sober lives. However, Evan and his girlfriend smoke and then have cry fests. It was difficult for me to have much sympathy for him and his situation, seeing as how he is in college, doesn’t have a job, and complains about his lack of money while snorting crushed up pills on his iPhone box.
