Books with good representations of narcotic use?
Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks is the most unbiased and realistic portrayal of narcotic use ever put to paper.

Junky by Burroughs was supposed to be pretty accurate and based on his actual experiences of being a filthy smack addict.

Nigga its all about the coffee, IV black tar heroin, and dank weed.
What do you mean by representations of narcotic use? I don't think the medium is really able to portray what it's like to be on drugs to any degree*, all you're going to get is things that tell you about the lives of the drug users and that's going to vary wildly from culture to culture. From Welsh's trainspotters to something about normal people who drink a lot of coffee to opiate users in 1800s China, accurate representations are going to vary widely.
*I did get some weird acid-like headspace from Wolfe's prose in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid test but I'm not convinced that would have happened if I wasn't already intimately familiar with being on acid.

The East India Trading Company got most of China addicted to opium so they'd be able to sell them it as China wasn't importing stuff from the west like they'd have preferred.

I preferred buenos, sounds like some cool slang.
"Yesterday I popped a couple of buenos and drove my motorbike down the motorway."
