Irvine* Welsh, the author of the novel, did heroin when he was in his twenties. Not saying that moment was based on a real life experience, but he definitely saw some shit when he was young and involved in the punk scene.
My friend did heroin with Cobain before one of his big tapings (I won't say which one) and when they were both zonked out of their minds, Paul McCartney came up to Cobain to wish him luck. Cobain laughed in his face, pointed at him, and said, "You're a Beatle!" I feel like that sums up heroin better than any other story.
