as a junkie for 2 decades i must say.....till today its not only the high that gets most needle users........ finding the right vein, watching the blood come out n mix up with the chemical ( personal weakness) and then the final process of sending it in.
@TheJamesAgony How it seeps from your feet to your lungs to take your breath away, into your head, that heavenly pressure.... I know how you feel my friend. Glad we kicked it though.
@Kapo465 does it always make you puke? even if you stop taking it do you ever stop wanting it? i had a friend who smoked crack and he used to get so on edge when he hadnt done it
@BlunderCats Well Heroin isn't Crack, so i can't really compare those two. But yes, with H, when i used to do a sufficient amount it would make me throw up a few minutes after a shot. I watched many of my friends throw up after they've done it. But afterwards, you feel like a million, if not more. Honestly, i've been clean for 4 years, and i don't crave it anymore. I still always think what life would be like if i haven't quit. But enough is enough, 25 thousand dollars gone into the wind.
@Kapo465 you spent 25 thousand dollars on it? in what period of time? and i know but apart from cigarettes its the only real addiction ive come into contact with. how did you get into it?
@BlunderCats I'm really not going to write a book on a comment.. Shit happened. Dope was good, money went fast.. in a period of about 2 to 3 years. Friend sold me a 10 Dollar capsule and that's what started the storm. Trust me, if you're having a hard time with cigarettes, then you're a lifer on this shit. The withdrawal is just... no other way to describe it other than pure unadulterated hell.. Talk about bad.. Cigarettes are only mental, and not hard to drop. But this scene is good though..
@Kapo465 yeah this scene is spectacular, i really loved the sopranos and chris's character especially. you were hooked after the first try? bloody hell, best leave alone
@BlunderCats Everything Chris does in this scene is pretty much dead on. H is an amazing experience, but if you can control yourself.. which becomes quite hard. Next thing you're in the straight hood dead of night.. It makes you do crazy shit.. you turn into a whole different person.. a beast.
@Kapo465 fair enough, were you ever scared or nervous while you were doing it that you might be losing control? ive always thought addiction came from previous traumas, that only traumatised people turned to h for help
Beautiful scene, the song provides the perfect background as so often on the show. I like the way Chris seems to genuinely care for the go-to guy and he connects with him unlike anyone else. Great character.
People make way too much out of the physical addiction that goes with heroin. Yes it is strong, and yes it sucks to go through withdrawals, but the mental part of the addiction is many, many times stronger then the physical part. In this scene chris is way past any physical dependence on opiates, but the addict part of him is still in completely in love with heroin. You never miss that feeling, and that is the REAL power of heroin.
@NoDDinOuTMeLoDy 'Works' is the name given to the paraphernalia (equipment) used to shoot up heroin. They consist of of a spoon, lighter, needle, belt etc. When he says that 'those works though, they whet my whistle', he's stating that when he sees Corky with all the tools to shoot up the heroin, that it tempts him immensely. I hope this answers your question ;)
i used to do heroin for a year and i loved it and i was only 20 years old but it fucked me up so bad i lost everything sold everything becamed a thief, and i could not stop using it thank god i quit, and never injected it i always snorted it ive been off heroin since august 13 2009 but still love to smoke weed
Hahaha i used to do like this 10 years ago - sitting in a car the whole weekends nights under a heroin and doing nothing. that was a time the heroin was everywhere and it was cheap like shit

1:43 -1:49 wtf is he saying this guy is a faggot so ugly and stupid thinks hes tough but got his foot and ass shot dead in goodfellas. that fucking friggin freak
Alright weird (my friend sent this as link to a 'coke' thing)...but I digress..I tired heroin with a rig less than a dozen times years back, 2x I almost died..1 time I found myself in an ambulance, the other my friend splashing cold water on my face in a bathtub in my boxers..at least 2 people I knew have died before they were in their late 20's and they came from well to do homes...other friends in rehab or on methadone, cut with fentanyl and you'll too to much and OD. IT AIN'T WORTH IT PERIOD.
You can do too much,puke, and feel like shit. Do to little and not much effect. Get it just right and it's the best feeling in the world...warm,fuzzy,nothing else matters.
This scene definitely wets my whistle. Mmmmmm. I love tootin dope. Just a message to anybody that wants to try it. Dont do it unless you have alot of self control cause if you dont it can easily take over your life. It is great but just dont abuse it. Use it in moderation.
To be a recovering addict and watch this scene I must say that it is very well portrayed. Relapse is a very rough thing, and many addicts do relapse. Heroin is not only mentally addicting, but physically. In the end, it does kill him....even though Tony held his nose ;-)
How wonderful chris's heroin expereince is shared with the viewer. I feel the euphoria of heroin by just watching them injecting, its like they are having an orgasmic experience with us enjoying. My hat goes off to the director.
The direction during minutes 3:17 through 3:49 is incredible. Watch Christopher's eyes, they never leave the needle until the moment of injection...then they quickly rise to watch and absorb the reaction of the drug...one he knows so well. Then the close up of the needle again...and the wonderfully genius retreat of the camera revealing to us, Christopher using again...absolutely incredible!
god i love that song, i like listening to it when i sit in my car at the top of the hill when i look at the beautiful stars and sky or whatever is to see that looks really pretty, sometimes i even cry to it cuz it reminds me of my father who passed away a few months ago :(

The needle was huge, yeah, but Chris forgot to release the tourniquet once he got the needle in. If you push the plunger in while the tourniquet is still tight you can pop the vein. I used smack on weekends for about 8 months. I never got addicted to it, because I would never use for more than two days in a row. I was also really weary about overdose and addiction, so I was pretty careful.
Yeah really, no one uses rigs that big, just the 1cc insulin syringes. He inserts at a bad angle, you would just go through the vein. This scene gives me a hard on, man I love heroin.
One of the best things about this scene is the irony of the juxtaposition of Christopher's dream of domestic life with sharing heroin with a mob hitman.
I was talking also about the whole "feeling" I guess you could call it. Its a dreamy comfortable type of drug experience. Plus the music is a good song for the scene.
donta agree,the needle looks a bit big for what we use in the uk,alos in other scenes you see them "Smoke" the smack-its done in 1 short burst-i'v never seen it done like that-we chase a line around a peice of foil for about 20 lines worth per bag-I have heard of a mate smack is smoked like that"short burst" in amsterdam
donta agree,the needle looks a bit big for what we use in the uk,alos in other scenes you see them "Smoke" the smack-its done in 1 short burst-i'v never seen it done like that-we chase a line around a peice of foil for about 20 lines worth per bag-I have heard of a mate smack is smoked like that"short burst" in amsterdam
na mate no way-i'v been a user 4 10 years-never seen a needle that bog for that part pf the arm-when they smoke the gear in sopranos its always 1 big strong/long inhail-its nothing like that-trust me!
Thanks Psychopomp33. I really do appreciate it... Because i remember when this episode first aired... i was humming the song to myself for the next three days. That means i had to keep rewinding my tivo to this scene to learn the words. Thanks again!
they made it look like its all fun and good but in reality heroin is the most eFFed drug in the world. I see people kicking it everyday at work. Unbelivable what they would do for a fix.
Please dont make a joke of addiction, its very serious.... im in a constant battle in my head should i use or not.. there is help ie methadone, buperenorphine... no miracle cure.... but helps alot

i have no respect for you junkies! unless it has been forced on you. i have tried losts of drugs! never stuff like smack and crack tho! and only tried never even think about doing them again! i seen it all before!! if you use methodone=junkie. cold turkey! only way!
man everyone makes mistakes. you shouldnt judge people based off it. many good hearted people get addicted to heroin. you shouldnt be a dick about it. they need help.
One of the many ironies of this video is that the song 'Dolphins' is by Fred Neil. Fred Neil was a heroin addict himself. There are so many ironies in this video it is amazing.
hi yall i have watched this scene countless times and i never seem to get enough of it similar to the scene in american gangster where the cop is drooling after shooting up or the trainspotting overdose scene heroin is really a great(taboo) drug and the way its potrayed in films makes you wonder what if? but thats only a thought. my thougt.
This is a great scene. Michael Imperioli is an amazing actor, one of my favorites. And the sopranos is easily my favorite Tv Drama. Oh, and to everyone who is bitching about the size of the needle; that could have been the only rig he could get his hands on at the moment, and he needed a fix.-kind of adds to the realism of this scene.
Using that size of spike,needle,works,barrell etc is purely for TV as said by david, you use 1mil spike for arms, that big spike is for deep injecting into the groin.
Chris, Best damn character in the whole fucking show!Best fucking screen writer for the show too!H is good make you fell fucking great! ow how I do miss the show!
As a series-long sopranos fan....i'll keep it simple. This ~6 minute scene has to be one of the best David Chase ever filmed. It is quintessential sopranos in that it says everything, yet nothing. It is for the audience to judge/be engrossed...superb.
this is pretty much how heroin is, besides the BIG ASS SYRINGE/50000000000000000000000000 GAUGE NEEDLE WTF.... most people i know use like i think its 39 gauge 1/2 cc insulin syringes....you always wanna use the smallest syringes anyway less track marks and less vein damage
once you shoot up, you'll never forget that feeling. im not saying that your "addicted for life" but you've seen and felt a "happiness" taht you can never (and shouldnt ever) experience in this life time. the higher you get the harder you fall. i never did smack but i did experiment with hard drugs. chris molt. is my favorite character, he was a dreamer. ahh i miss that show!
ha that needla was fuxing huge! i use insulin needles. WAAAAY less painful. but it takes longer to inject.rather smoke. ive done that. got real bombed out and layed on a park bench all day watching all the stupid fucks.

Rather be an addict than an illiterate racist any day of the week. I know, your spell check doesn't work. And I guess you were too stoned to realize you posted twice? Is 'hydro' short for hydromorphine?
Why cant he get high? He hasnt had any bad stuff happen as a result yet.Not in the movie at least.
He wasnt shitn himself,pukin on himself cause he couldnt score.He didnt kill/prostitute/steal/lie/etc to get it. Do you know how many people got high as a result of watching these scenes????Yea,prrly a few of you readers too... :)
Either someone producing the movie has first hand experience or they did mad research cause thats exactly what its like. I can remember shooting up many times and just sitting on my deck chain smoking and petting my cat for hours. For some reason I would always snatch my cat up and take him with me cause it felt so good to just chill and pet him. But what I had to do to get it got out of control and it ruined my life. DONE WITH THAT SHIT, J4TDY.
My first snort made me feel just like him,( This is an awesome scene ). I Remember I threw up like 5 minutes after and the high elevtaed more and more, a soothing, calm sensation, just like seconds after an orgasm climax...kids dont try it!!!!!!!
Excellent representation of a subjective experience of initiation - i liked the bit when his visual focus blurs ever so slightly and the edges soften ...and the music worked well too. Yes it was very evocative wasn't it?
personally I think this scene portrays drug addiction more than any other scene ever has in another television show. eg the way christopher tries talking his way out of his cravings focusing on something else. classic.
If you pause at 1:26, Chris kind of looks like Paulie Walnuts' son.

With the exception of Junior shooting Tony, this is the best scene in the entire 6a season.

Thanks Psychopomp33. I really do appreciate it... Because i remember when this episode first aired... i was humming the song to myself for the next three days. That means i had to keep rewinding my tivo to this scene to learn the words. Thanks again!

Can someone please tell me who does the song that starts around 3:30 in this video???? I would really appreciate it..
sexualdrew113 4 years ago
The song is called "The Dolphins", it's by Fred Neil. Jeff Buckley did a great cover version of the song, by the way. regards

you do realize that if a heavy addict goes cold turkey they have a high chance of dying during withdrawl?

Not by heroin withdrawal I'm sure but you can die of Alcohol & benzodiazepine withdrawal.
If you quit cold turkey that is.

they made it look like its all fun and good but in reality heroin is the most eFFed drug in the world. I see people kicking it everyday at work. Unbelivable what they would do for a fix.

One of the many ironies of this video is that the song 'Dolphins' is by Fred Neil. Fred Neil was a heroin addict himself. There are so many ironies in this video it is amazing.

hi yall i have watched this scene countless times and i never seem to get enough of it similar to the scene in american gangster where the cop is drooling after shooting up or the trainspotting overdose scene heroin is really a great(taboo) drug and the way its potrayed in films makes you wonder what if? but thats only a thought. my thougt.

This is a great scene. Michael Imperioli is an amazing actor, one of my favorites. And the sopranos is easily my favorite Tv Drama. Oh, and to everyone who is bitching about the size of the needle; that could have been the only rig he could get his hands on at the moment, and he needed a fix.-kind of adds to the realism of this scene.

Using that size of spike,needle,works,barrell etc is purely for TV as said by david, you use 1mil spike for arms, that big spike is for deep injecting into the groin.

As a series-long sopranos fan....i'll keep it simple. This ~6 minute scene has to be one of the best David Chase ever filmed. It is quintessential sopranos in that it says everything, yet nothing. It is for the audience to judge/be engrossed...superb.

Glamorize it a little more, why don't you?
There's nothing beautiful about it. It's revolting, the whole idea of plunging a needle into a vein.
When HIV or Hepatitis comes along as a result, see how much allure heroin has then.

this is pretty much how heroin is, besides the BIG ASS SYRINGE/50000000000000000000000000 GAUGE NEEDLE WTF.... most people i know use like i think its 39 gauge 1/2 cc insulin syringes....you always wanna use the smallest syringes anyway less track marks and less vein damage

once you shoot up, you'll never forget that feeling. im not saying that your "addicted for life" but you've seen and felt a "happiness" taht you can never (and shouldnt ever) experience in this life time. the higher you get the harder you fall. i never did smack but i did experiment with hard drugs. chris molt. is my favorite character, he was a dreamer. ahh i miss that show!
SubstanceAbuser87 4 years ago

Rather be an addict than an illiterate racist any day of the week. I know, your spell check doesn't work. And I guess you were too stoned to realize you posted twice? Is 'hydro' short for hydromorphine?

I always was waiting for chris to get high.
Soon as he seen the flash,he was done. WHy not?
Why cant he get high? He hasnt had any bad stuff happen as a result yet.Not in the movie at least.
He wasnt shitn himself,pukin on himself cause he couldnt score.He didnt kill/prostitute/steal/lie/etc to get it. Do you know how many people got high as a result of watching these scenes????Yea,prrly a few of you readers too... :)

Either someone producing the movie has first hand experience or they did mad research cause thats exactly what its like. I can remember shooting up many times and just sitting on my deck chain smoking and petting my cat for hours. For some reason I would always snatch my cat up and take him with me cause it felt so good to just chill and pet him. But what I had to do to get it got out of control and it ruined my life. DONE WITH THAT SHIT, J4TDY.

Excellent representation of a subjective experience of initiation - i liked the bit when his visual focus blurs ever so slightly and the edges soften ...and the music worked well too. Yes it was very evocative wasn't it?

personally I think this scene portrays drug addiction more than any other scene ever has in another television show. eg the way christopher tries talking his way out of his cravings focusing on something else. classic.
