Question by magzwifey: The movie 28 Days with Sandra Bullock?
There is a scene where she meets her roomate in rehab, the young girl with black hair. Shes sitting on the bed eating a ton of candy and says (to Bullock) “Sorry…heroin addict.” What does that have to do with her eating a ton of candy I’m just curious

The truth is that there is an inaccuracy in the depiction of heroine addicts in that scene, but it’s fault is in implying that heroine addicts are the only addicts that suffer from it.
Most addicts are found to be hypoglycemic. This condition may have existed before they started taking drugs.
Basically all drugs addicts, whatever chemical they are using, are after serotonin, a chemical that the body produces from food sources and that makes them feel happy and content.
Addicts have a problem producing serotonin, and when they withdraw from drugs they get depressed, anxious, irritable and will return to drugs.
Alcoholics sometimes experience intense cravings for Chocolate.
Regardless of hypoglycemia or whether sweets are particularly desirable when high on heroin, sugar absolutely does not curb the need for heroin!!!! Only opiates/opioids will fulfill a heroin addict, no matter how tasty they think sugar is, they will still be in withdrawl. Medically sugar does nothing to suppress heroin withdrawl.
I hope this is enough to satisfy your thirst for knowledge on that one though.
