This is especially useful if the scenes require multiple takes or if there are simply too many scenes of drug ingesting. In these cases, a special suction rig can be used to suck up fake powdered drugs through a concealed tube. And since even ingesting vitamins can be dangerous, some actors may not want to do it. It’s a special retractable needle that pushes the fake drugs into a hidden chamber in the syringe. There’s a cleverly designed prop for injecting fake heroin on camera.
There are also different ways to consume them. Advertisementsīut the safety, appearance, and behavior of drugs aren’t the only things to think about. Although it was just Vitamin D powder that he snorted, there was too much of it so he got bronchitis. For example, Al Pacino suffered minor but permanent damage to his nasal passage after snorting a lot of cocaine on the set of “Scarface.” The fake cocaine they used back then was, check this out: powdered baby laxative! While filming The Wolf of Wall Street, Jonah Hill had to be hospitalized due to fake drugs he was taking on set. However, even then, prop drugs can still be dangerous. Most of them are created from powdered food or vitamins, so ingesting them shouldn’t cause any issues. If the prop master wants to create fake melted heroin, he’ll use brown sugar and water.Īs I mentioned, it’s important that fake drugs are completely safe for the actors. However, this mixture doesn’t really melt well. Fake powdered heroin can be created by combining pancake mix and cocoa powder. For example, heroin can be powdered or melted, so these require different prop drugs. What makes things a bit more complicated is the different states of drugs. I’ve only seen meth in movies and series, but looks like I guessed exactly what they use to fake it. When I dressed up as Jesse Pinkman a few years ago for Halloween, I also carried around a few bags of crushed blue rock candy. And the dangerous drug was replicated by using some blue rock candy. One of my favorite TV shows revolves around crystal meth: Breaking Bad.
But the solution exists: Joel uses a strain of cannabis without THC so that joint smoke looks like the real thing. Cigarette smoke is not nearly as heavy as cannabis smoke, so it’s not a suitable replacement. How do you make it look like someone is really smoking a joint? Replacing weed with tobacco seems like a logical answer, but it isn’t that simple. When it comes to the behavior of fake drugs, the first example is marijuana.
