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!

In The Netherlands it's pretty customary that everybody basically always has their headlights turned on. Even in broad daylight it makes your car seen a little bit better which prevents a few more accidents.
Thanks for your comments and the honor of your link today. I hope a few stop by. Enjoyed reading a bit here and there. Here in the States same as vinz in Netherlands. Varies from State to state but think most have laws for being able to see oncoming cars. Accident prevention.

I'll trade you some of our heat for a little rain. I know it sounds strange coming from Germany.
The wind has kicked up, the clouds are getting dark....wet weather, thunderstorms on the way here in the New World..
I like it when rain comes so hard it looks like smoke blowing off the sides of the buildings. That means they're all stuck inside, which means they're leaving me alone.
I think most people fear rainstorms because rain knows what it's doing and where it wants to go in life.
Headlights are just for visibility.
Thanks for dropping in and for adding my site to your sidebar. I have also added you to mine.
I hope your head is feeling better now that there has been some rain. I know that heavy head feeling that is associated with pressure changes when there is rain coming!
I hope that things settle for you this week!
Visibility so that others can see you because in rain that heavy you can't see a thing. It's the law in some states but not in Vermont.
As I was reading your post, our skies opened up. It's constant and unrelenting rain.
thanks for stopping by at our blog!! actually i have no idea who we are named after! but i'll be sure to ask!!

Aberdeen has been bathed in brilliant sunshine all day making a pleasant change, Im one of those who switch my headlights on in heavy rain its become an automatic reaction now
We put our head lights on in heavy rain purely to be seen. There are idiots out there who drive like maniacs whatever the weather and no-one wants to be smashed into.
Have a good day.
o i see about the headlights now... being a nondriver, to me it always looked atmospheric in a storm, suddenly these lights coming on everywhere ... considering, as i said, the air going "white" i can see how such lights would be useful ...
My car is a 2006 Honda Civic and my running lights are always on when my headlights are off. The cars in Canada have "daylight' headlights that are always on. It's a law for cars built after a certain date.
I love rain myself. Good thing I live in Seattle, huh? Yesterday it 87 with high humidity. NASTY. I was my clouds and my 60 degree weather back.
Hope you're keeping dry!!!
I checked out the blog, but why do they call it music from Jesus time? He says it's recorded between the 1960's and 1980's, a period of Evangelism. Hmmm, I never considered that a particularly Christian time. Then again, I wasn't alive or aware for most of it, but still. I thought it was gonna be, like, JESUS' TIME.
Wow! You have 15 (now 16) answers to an entry that short!
I liked your first line about it raining so hard the streets "have gone white..." and the word "sheen" works nicely.
