Who knew.....

That was too weird for me

I don't ever watch fiction.. but I checked it out anyway. Whats the deal man? he lit some lamp and all of a sudden he's having an LSD trip running towards some dolmen gouging out his own eyes. See what TV will do to you..

That's why I posted it....Sherlock on LSD, then on heroin in the second clip

I used to watch that show with my mother..who loved it...there is surly more going on in that show then I ever
caught on to..,
What's this world coming ? I don't watch TV at all anymore..but that was supposed to be a very wholesome show...

Anybody who has read the original Sherlock Holmes stories will be aware of his drug taking. I quote the following from Wikipedia:

The use of drugs

Holmes uses addictive drugs, especially when he lacks stimulating cases, most often cocaine in a seven-percent solution. Despite his occasional use of its derivative morphine, he expresses strong disapproval of the use of opium. (The philosophy of the time made drug usage legal.) Watson disapproves of his drug use and describes it as the detective's "only vice." Watson later says he has "weaned" Holmes off drugs, citing their destructive qualities, but views Holmes' drug habit as "dormant" and "not dead, but merely sleeping." At one point Watson actually assumes that Holmes has taken drugs after the detective stays up much of the night.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Brinty....I was shocked when I saw that.
It was actually a little funny too

...Must be some sort of drug-induced remote viewing technique Sherlock utilises to catch the bad guys.

Watson sounds like he could do with the occasional spliff himself to chill out a bit

Oh well its all just a fiction story anyhow.. but what do these drug references say about the author and his recreational habits?
