Watch Requiem for a Dream, that movie changed me and I'm not even on drugs. People need to see it. Harry (Jared Leto), and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) are impoverished heroin addicts living in Coney Island, NY, while Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) is a fellow addict trying to distance herself from her wealthy father. Harry dreams of scoring a pound of smack, from which he could make enough money to open a clothing boutique with Marion, but so far he and his friends can barely scrape by supporting their own habits. Meanwhile, Harry's mother Sara (Ellen Burstyn), who spends her days watching television, is told she has the opportunity to appear on her favorite game show; wanting to lose enough weight to fit into her favorite red dress, she visits a sleazy doctor who gives her a prescription for amphetamines. Soon Sara has a drug habit of her own that is spiraling out of control. Post edited at 6:18 am on Sep. 21, 2008 by panicxparadox

Seen it, and it hasn't changed my attitude towards soft drugs in the least.

Basically follows several characters as they become increasingly addicted and deluded, and resolves when they are finally reacquainted to reality, with rather devastating results.

Haven't seen it, might want to at some point though.
As SpM said, I doubt it would change my views on any soft drugs either.

Ive seen it many many times. Note the black dude smokes weed throughout the whole movie. That movie kept me off hard drugs but not drugs in general
