In the first Deadpool when Wade is getting ready to leave for his final battle against Ajax, he says goodbye to his roommate and my all-around hero Blind Al:

[row]”If I never see you again, I want you to know that I love you very much, and also there’s about 116 kilos of cocaine buried somewhere in the apartment. Right next to the cure for blindness.”[/row]

Well, flash-forward to Deadpool 2 after Vanessa’s death when Wade is on a suicide bender, he goes to Blind Al’s apartment to his secret stash where he collects a brick of cocaine, but right next to it amongst other things is the cure for blindness.
