Maybe this is obvious, but since no one has mentioned it, I just wanted to note that Carmelita seems to have two meanings: a Mexican girlfriend, and black tar heroin (generally the type found in the western U.S., produced in Mexico, and less refined than the powder heroin from Afghanistan that the northeast has).
I like this from Wikipedia: "it might be more accurate to say that it is about Los Angeles than about the character in question."
