Cocaine is one of the most widely-used drugs depicted in cinema aside from marijuana, and it’s no wonder – with iconic film characters like Tony Montana and Mia Wallace blowing through it like there’s no tomorrow, cocaine appears to be an easy way to make your movie characters seem “cool” and “edgy.” However for every Tony Montana you’ve also got a Jesse Pinkman who loses his shit due to drug usage at some point, or a Michael Cera being an asshole and blowing it right into your face. So does film portray coke usage in a positive or negative light? That’s for you to decide.
