"And with that, Renton had fallen in love." McGregor's hapless character in Trainspotting, pumped on amphetamines, had just fallen for Diane in a club to the sound of New Order's 'Temptation', no idea that she's still at school and living at home with her parents. Moments earlier we'd seen Sick Boy tonguing a pill into someone's mouth. Apart from that, there's not much mention of drugs other than heroin in the original film. Things have changed 20 years later, with Begbie snorting a shit load of coke (the perfect accompaniment for someone with severe self-restraint issues) and seemingly being involved with dealing ecstasy. Sick Boy's got one hell of a cannabis crop on the go as well.
