Ideal for injecting or snorting. Yes, you can snort heroin. In small amounts. Vince, if you recall, asked for the high-grade stuff.
Unless you have specific tools at your disposal like a microscope or a burner , it's very difficult to tell high-grade heroin and cocaine apart. So, usually, you put heroin in a balloon and coke in a bag. Most drug users will know the distinction.
However, if it's not your stash it's always best to ask or do a small taste test, because they have distinctive tastes. Mia, likely, just saw the bag and assumed it was coke. The script indicates that she thinks it's cocaine But wait, her fingers touch something else. Those fingers bring out a plastic bag with white powder inside, the madman that Vincent bought earlier from Lance. Wearing a big smile, Mia brings the bag of heroin up to her face. Mia has the unbeknownst-to-her heroin cut up into big lines on her glass top coffee table.
Taking her trusty hundred dollar bill like a human Dust-Buster, she quickly snorts the fat line. Her hands go to her nose which feels like it's on fucking fire , something is terribly wrong. Good cocaine, usually referred to as 'fishscale', looks like the picture on the left; White colored heroin, often referred to as 'china white' looks like the one on the right.
Both have clumping properties, and the type of clumps they form are similarly different. Furthermore, the two have different smells. In my limited experience, and confirmed by poking around google, white colored heroin has no smell or a faint vinegar smell 1 , whereas cocaine has a chemical-ly smell, sometimes compared to rocks or gasoline 2.
The format of both will, of course, change depending upon how badly they are cut, and with what. I would assume, given her status, that Mia had access to excellent cocaine. However, the theory I have come up with that best makes the movie make sense is that she's used to cocaine that is greatly cut. When cut, fishscale cocaine it will be cut just slightly with something numbing like lidocaine, in order to keep it numbing if you test it by skin or gum absorption, and then 're-rocked' to make it back into a solid chunk, instead of powder.
This is where all the jibberjabber about cocaine users requiring razor blades comes from - they have to chop their rock into a powder to snort it. However, highly and badly cut cocaine by a dealer that is not concerned with the appearance of good cocaine may be cut to the point where it becomes a straight white powder. Thus, the situation that makes the scene make most sense to me is that Mia is used to terribly cut cocaine, and thus mistakes the white powdered heroin for the low quality white powder cocaine she is used to.
Google "china white smell" and "fishscale cocaine smell". From experts on the subject, I have heard that Cocaine usually has a distinct, smoky smell that any regular cocaine user would recognize. Even if they look alike, high grade heroin does not smell right. If she were desperate or intoxicated, she might not notice, but she would have to be very, very careless.

Tarantino shows Vincent's swinging arm, but not the actual needle entry. But it's excruciatingly audible. At the movie's New York Film Festival premiere, one viewer was so shocked by the moment that he fainted, forcing the screening to be halted.
But across the nation, moviegoers experienced the hair-raising moment for themselves. Bailey says Tarantino, who devoured films while working at Video Archives video rental store, was likely inspired by the Martin Scorsese documentary "American Boy," in which Steven Prince tells his street story of bringing a woman back to life with the drastic method.
It's quite another thing to see it played out with John Travolta and Uma Thurman. People are still talking about it," Wood says. And they have tried to copy them all.
Also she had been drinking. Heroin and alcohol is not a good combination Maynard July 03, That reminds me of a joke. Q: How can you tell if a junkie is lying? A: His lips are moving. The amount about "an 8-ball" in coke terms that Vincent bought is more inline with a cocaine stash, rather than with heroin.
You might have noticed that Vincent rolls his eyes when Lance tells him that he has to get into his personal Like so many of the things that make this movie great, it's up for you to fill in the blanks.
Both drugs go in either. It depends on your dealer. If youre going through the mexican cartels in the sw US you will find they put everything in baloons for human consumption in the case of a bust.
Or for storagr in cavities when crossing the boarder. Depends on your location and source. That being said I think she did mistake heroin for cocaine and almost died. Dickygee January 28, Trust me.
