News flash: Vicodin feels good

We interrupt this blog to bring you the following news flash: painkillers feel good. But don't take my word for it: take the word of popular television star, Hugh Laurie:

Hugh Laurie has admitted he experimented with strong painkillers.

The British actor, who plays Vicodin addict Dr. Gregory House in hit US TV show House, claims he tried the drug so he could understand his character better.

Hugh said: "I wouldn't recommend it - we have to be careful. But then again if you're not in pain it gives a floaty, pleasurable feeling."

As someone who spent years training as an actor to earn a degree in theatre, and as someone who understands how important it is for popular media figures to convey positive messages to the children of our society, I can only say: yeah, he's right, it sure does feel floaty and pleasurable. That is all.

They did a whole episode where he was hallucinating on ketamine that he'd been administered after a gun shot, and while I would hardly call it a realistic depiction of a ketamine experience, holy shit was that a trippy episode of network television.

His character also dropped some acid during his work shift to relieve a migraine in one episode and gave psilocybin to a patient as an experimental treatment in another. I wonder if he used method acting for those performances as well. Actors have such a burden to do to theirs jobs their jobs properly. But seriously, House is a great show.
