As the film deals with the subject of drug-trafficking, it contains several fairly explicit scenes depicting drug use.
One of the strongest is a montage where the preparation of drugs is shown. The montage features close-up shots of a spoon containing some clear liquid being held over a heated flame before the liquid is taken in by a syringe. This is followed by shots of a man with his arm tied up as he injects himself with a syringe.
In another scene, a man cuts some cocaine powder before forcing another man to snort it.
