PSYCHOLOGICAL LANDSCAPES
www.hopesandfears.com/hopes/culture/film/216549-cocaine-fake-prop-the-knick-goodfellas As the protagonist of Cycle is a cocaine addict, I decided to do some research on what replacements for the real thing experienced prop masters suggest for scenes of the drugs use. After reading several articles powered Inositol was named time and time again as being the safest and most realistic substitute. Real cocaine is often cut with this vitamin B compound and unlike sugar or flour it won’t turn sticky or clumpy if exposed to moisture. Thankfully, Inositol is readily available to purchase in small quantities and I had no trouble finding a 100g pouch for under five pounds on Amazon.com.
