someone believes that one drug is cocaine while everyone else in the room knows it’s heroin (the character is a recovering addict) and upon snorting it the person realizes it isn’t cocaine.

Not technically, but one of the consensual sex scenes was supposedly not consensual in real life; it was r*pe. If you want to know more, a quick Google search about Tommy and Nikki in the movie will give you all the disgusting details.

Nikki Sixx sets his jacket sleeve on fire on purpose. The scene is intended to be humorous.

Nikki Sixx as a child cuts himself in front of his mother (a lot of blood is shown). He then uses the injury to frame her for child abuse.

There is a scene where a kid cuts himself in the arm with a knife and there is blood.
In the car accident scene there is some gore (possibly seeing bone on a face of a dead person.) The car accident scene starts around 52 minutes (52:30 to be more exact) and ends directly before 54:30.
