Most of these come from my
Random blog, which is an electronic scrapbook of stuff I thought I might like to view at some time or other. For those who want to view stuff on drugs I've collected the very best links here. Unless otherwise stated these are full-length features, usually an hour or more.
If you have a slow connexion and are unused to viewing multiscreen films on Youtube here's what to do: click the first one and play on mute, stopping and starting as it does. Then, when it's done, click on Repeat Play and you get the full entertainment without interruption. While you watch screen one, do the same to screens 2, 3 and so on. So as each bit finishes, the next part's ready and waiting.
Mexican Black Tar Heroin: "
Dark End"
Khun Sa, whose name meant Prince Prosperous, had been, before his death in the mid 2000s, the world's biggest dealer in China White Heroin: "
Lord of the Golden Triangle"
In-depth portrait of the Afghan heroin trade at its very height. Includes heroin-lab bust. "
Afghanistan's Fateful Harvest"
Classic miniseries whose title became a catchphrase for the misery of life in East Asian prison. Nicole Kidman plays a privileged middle-class girl set up to mule heroin through Thai customs with the inevitable consequences. This is so long it had to be posted in two parts. "
Bangkok Hilton 1" (first 2 hours or so); "
Bangkok Hilton 2" (last couple of hours).
Short film: from tapwater-clear H4 in the USA to murky black Afghan brown in Norway: "
Heroin Addicts Speak"
Before his untimely death this guy kept a video diary. Here's the hour-long highlights as broadcast on BBC TV: "
Ben: Diary of a Heroin Addict". Thanks to
Noah for the original link.
Some of the most entertaining scenes from Britain's top soap (as much for the poor research as anything else). Not even Phil Mitchell would go from nought to multi-hundred pound binges this fast: "
Phil Mitchell on Crack" (just over 5 minutes).
Scientist lady shows us how to cook up gear: "
How Much Citric?" Lucky cow: her brown is 70% purity! Oddly we never see her actually do her hit... maybe she got camera shy...
And lastly:
German documentary following a life from teenage addiction to untimely death before the age of 30. The decline in this girl's appearance is truly shocking. "
Süchtig: Protokoll einer Hilflosigkeit". Sorry no subtitles; this is here for anyone learning German who's after practice material a little more gripping than Lindenstraße!

don't sweat the small stuff gled. it's only an appointment. ;)
i no!! i just thought they wouldn't give me a 2nd one. they can be like that sometimes. but i did get one. so hey!!
I get that way with the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I forget to take my meds, get six miles out in the car and have to turn around and go back home. I forget to take the most important tools for a particular job, you name it. I do it every time. If something ever goes to plan I am always wondering what it was I forgot.....
The only exercise I get is running back up the hill and then back up the stairs to the flat to get what I had forgotten—keys, phone, wallet, ciggs, lighter, ciggs AND lighter, the stuff I pulled out of my wallet and didn't put back in, my head, my self respect—for which it is nice to be able to go back and get even if a hill and set of steps are involved!
You got a figure these doctors of yours have factored in an over-sleeping or two or fifty. Geez, if they haven't they should probably specialize in something they know more about!
Head up Gleds. You are perfect. It is the condition that is flawed.
Still have not found the word you were looking for (and now I am). I've a mind to march up to that big house, ring her bell and ask her myself. She's the friggin writer!

No one ever gets it all right. The universe is perfect right now as it is at all times. That means you're perfect, too.
"EVERY TIME I DO SOMETHING I do it wrong"
No you don't - you write this blog, and do it very well. I wish I could write as well as you. Get that novel going!
