Heroin And 7-11 - Hey They Rhyme
In an interview with Blender this month, Jack Black talks about the one and only time he did heroin. In the interview he doesn't say whether he smoked it or injected it, but did say the drug didn't agree with him.
"It didn't agree with me. I couldn't really feel my legs, and my heart felt like it was slowing down too much. I thought, 'Oh my God, it's going to shut me down. I'm going to die.'
"I went down to the 7-Eleven at the bottom of the hill, and I had this strange sensation that my legs were pumping, but the feet were just sort of lifeless stumps.
"I did a little shopping and then walked back up the hill and survived. And never did it again."
I can't believe he actually had the energy to go out and go shopping. Although he says that this was his one time doing heroin, one has to wonder how he got to that point. People don't usually just sit around drinking beers and ask, "hey you got any heroin? I sure would like to try some."
It is something that someone usually builds up to, especially if they inject it. Although I don't doubt that he just did it once, I do doubt the story. I think he could be just saying it for some kind of cool factor. Not that it is cool to use heroin. It is just kind of an odd story. The cool drugs taken by the edgy comedian who gets the munchies which never happens on heroin. I don't know. I can just imagine Jack sitting around and asking himself how he can be edgy and cool and rockstar-ish while at the same time being his Kung Fu Panda self.
