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!

Hey yo, gleds! Passing thru! You popped into my place (earlier?) I am having the blogroll prob. My prob is: when I first set it up maybe 3 weeks ago, It updated and gave me this nifty "YAY" or NEW or whatever when someone had posted something new. It is no longer doing that. (ummm...sheet and street, huh?)
Peering thru your blogroll(s) we have dan the man in common, and although I like raymi, I have not been to her in a while, HOWEVER, I link to her (mom).

I just built an addiction oriented bloging site www.addictionsupportgroup.com. I literally launched it last week. My goal is to build a page where people can share their daily experiences related to their addiction and recovery. I wanted to send out an invite after reading around you blog. If you or anyone you know would be interested in sharing their daily experiences please feel free to send me an email. admin@addictionsupportgroup.com
that's a bit unnerving gled. be safe, o.k. you should rig up something that will make a lot of noise if someone comes in while you're sleeping (you know, a booby trap)
Hang a quarantine sign outside your door, or whatever is left of your door. Tuberculosis is an effective one but “Infectious Scleromortis” might draw less scrutiny from the authorities. There’s no such thing as infectious scleromortis but it sounds sufficiently heinous to keep the odd passerby from dropping in for a visit.
Between you and street, u have invisible things protecting you..
THANXX EVERYONE:
What I'm most probably going to do is buy an almighty bolt for my door and sleep with it bolted shut ...
My landlord should fix it; then again my landlord should do a lot of things he doesn't do and shouldn't do a lot of things that he does ... know what I mean ..?
This is my comment for asgaminmatt at http://www.addictionsupportgroup.com; I'm not sure the one I left there 100% registered ...
Thanks for the message you left on mine... This is a great work you're doing here...
My blog was originally mean to be a crossroads of addiction resources/etc but it was hosted on a different site and I've STILL not updated the old links I so painstakingly gathered ...
I'm adding you to my linxx straight away and I gave you a big bold shout in today's posting. I've only just logged in/got an ID here & am about to dive right in your site. It looks brilliant though... I will get back to you soon. Take it EZ

-d Are you talking about the company "Blogroll".com or whatever ... or are you talking about comments coming into your blogger a/c??
There's a setting that you should be offered when setting up your blogger a/c (though I'm sure not everyone understandst the implications of saying yey or nay to it...) where you get the opportunity that whenever someone drops a comment into your blog (even if it's appended to a comment from some months or years ago ...) that YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY GET EMAILED the entire comment... this way even if someone deletes what they've put you sneakily can read their embarrassing "not even for your eyes only" temperamental outspewings ...
Slaghammer that is a lovely idea by the way ...
Debs I was thinking of using one of those mini aerosol-sized rape alarms as my doorboobytrapsetupdevicethingie...
