Not sure if anyone else remembers the sci-fi series Lexx. There was an episode where they went to this planet of junkies, led by Rutger Hauer.
They were all addicted to this drug called "pattern" - which you made by dumping human beings into a machine and drinking the essence that came out. But it was only good with clean humans. Other junkies produced a super poor product.
At one point a sound went out and everyone starting moaning about "the drain". Rutger got his typical evil grin and said "the drain is the best part". Everyone went over to a giant hole in the ground, where a snake came out of their back and puked up a bunch of their essence (assuming) down to a giant mother snake waiting at the bottom of the hole.
It's the best metaphor I've ever seen for drugs and addiction - and Rutger Hauer made it perfect.
Found it.
