Did the real detective Abelin have drug issues?
As well, the lodnum the inspector used, how was he doing it? I'm just curious. It's been a while since I last watched the movie, but was just thinking of it again. Was it a hallucinogen?
shareNo mention of drugs on his Wikipedia page but he did seem just as jaded by Police work and cover ups as Depp's portrayal.
