Question about Fear & Loathing

[usedchemicals]

In the movie Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, what does Johnny Depp smoke out of the light bulb when Dr. Gonzo is on his crazy acid trip in the bathtub?

If I remember correctly he is sitting in front of the television, and the camera moves so that it looks like the couch he's sitting on is levitating.

ive ALWAYS wondered wat the hell that was! lol.. i just assumed he was like lighting underneath the lightbulb and sucking in the fumes HAHAH.. but iknow thats not right
great movie. gotta get the book still !!!

It's either a light bulb vaporizer, or he's smoking meth. It's not meth, because he doesn't mention meth when he's talking about the smorgasboard of drugs that he has in the briefcase. It's probably bud, hash, or opium.

i feel like it might not be weed bc the whole like scene just seems more intense. liek when he floats up w/ the couch. but it could be.. some NICEEE ass weed

I always assumed it was hash.

I'm almost positive it's bud. I don't see the sequence after (the SF acid scene and the Wave Speech) as a hallucination, instead I believe it's a flashback (as in memory, not acid flashback) that just happens to be brought on by the herb.

[MyMARYJANE]

that SF scene is one of my faves in the whole movie

Its gotta be weed. I got the movie on my PC and he says they have:

2 bags of grass
75 pellets of mescaline
5 sheets of high-powered blotter acid
salt shaker half full of cocain
a whole galazy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers
quart of tequila
quart of rum
case of beer
pint of raw ether
two dozen amyls

It must be weed, I'm pretty sure that is the only smokeable thing he lists, 'cept coke i guess but you probably wouldn't use it that way. And for me, I don't see that scene having any hallucinations, when he floats on the couch, to me it describes the feeling of being high, like your in your own little world, that scene describes getting high for me very, very well.

So: its weed... and I don't think they picked up any more drugs at that point in the movie, but he did get some adrenaline later on, so assuming they only had what they listed at that point, it was weed.

Couldn't be the coke, as Dr. Gonzo accidentally dropped alomost all of it in the very begining of the movie, just after the hitchhiker runs away and they continue onto to Vegas. Just more evidence that it's bud.
