So I was watching Requiem for a Dream last night as my wife has never seen it. I happen to own it, not sure why maybe to compliment my Jennifer Connolly collection along with Labyrinth. It got me remembering how different diet pills used to be. Over a decade ago diet pills were available by prescription only and was basically 'speed'.
