Sure it does. If nothing else, it means just as much as "You wanna buy some death sticks?"

I mean, if someone said, "You wanna buy some rocks?" you would probably know what they meant. I didn't think of this till now, but sticks on its own makes a nice direct connection to rocks ("sticks" and "stones"). I mean, drug slang isn't necessarily supposed to be clear, especially if it is an alien drug.

It's just like in "Minority Report" when they talk about Tom Cruise's character being "a cop on the whiff" - you don't have to know what whiff is, just to know that it's a drug, and you can tell by the way they say it. Hopefully, you still can here - maybe not, though.

I guess I just really hate this part of the movie, though, so I am probably pretty biased. I could be wrong.
