Not that this has anything to do with the film, but was it during Miles' period with Bird that he (Miles) began using smack?I know they both had probs with heroin (Bird started using around the age of 16?) and that while Miles eventually kicked, Parker used until the time of his death........
Follow Ups:
I believe Miles got seriously into the habit after his Paris visit in 1949. He finally kicked it cold turkey in 1954 and shortly after was a star soloist in the Newport Jazz Festival, kickstarting his heretofore downward spiraling career. He later became a coke head after his "return" in 1981.
