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!

"You're a pretty quirky person, but you're just normal enough to hide it.
Congratulations - you've fooled other people into thinking you're just like them!"
I guess that's about right.
It's cloudy and rainy here today. One could become depressed and blue or one could enjoy the weather. I choose to do the second.
Take care! :)
the weather ain't the problem here today!
Hey, Gledwood. I see you meandered over to look at the culinary disaster at my place. I'm embarrassed that you would find me in such a state of disarray. I want to check out you "Britney" stuff, but I have to wait until I get home because it won't load here at work (what control freaks they are). I took the "what kind of cook are you" quiz. It seemed timely.
So sorry, so bad.
A drag you're sad.
a drag is a drag
Oh well, be glad,
You're Gled
and not dead.

You're a pretty quirky person, but you're just normal enough to hide it.
Congratulations - you've fooled other people into thinking you're just like them! HAHAHAHA....
That Britney stuff is so sad....
Peace!
I finally completed the challenge you sent my way ... it took me long enough didn't it?!
I feel the same way today. Tuesday's are always a drag at work because I have to work on a project for a New York client and they have no idea about the time difference and so I never get anything done on time. Apart from that the weather is horrid here and it's only a few more weeks before Vincent and I head off to Australia. We've got so much to do and organise and it's making us very tired.
Right. I'm off to get some sleep now. Have to go and waste some more of my life working tomorrow.
Yo Gled:
That Britney clip is quite disturbing. The sleaze who filmed that was her retarded loser ex Kevin Federline wasn't it?! I saw it months ago, before she'd divorced the creep.
Speaking of poor crazy BRIT-ney (excuse the pun), what in God's good name is wrong with Amy Winehouse! And Brit got charged with a hit and run and suspended license driving here in Los Angeles just this week!
It's tough to be a pop star, on both sides of the Atlantic!
Kate: if you hadn't labelled it as such the term "culinary disaster" would never have entered my head. It just looked like a lot of my cooking
Jim: not dead? Not yet haha!
Odat: Britney Spears - never has one person's personal strife been watched by so many when it ought to be by so few... whoeah! I'm getting Churchillian here
Kahshe: well I got tagged 3 times about 4 months ago and haven't done a single one of 'em!!
Nicole: good luck with the leaving. Ooh what a long way to go etc etc and getting stuff shipped over. I was shocked at how CHEAP it was to get a roomfull of stuff sent between this country and Colorado... only £500 I would have thought it cost far more...
Wat: oh i thought you meant Amy Winehouse got charged with hit-&-run... that was Britney Spears? I'm just out buying The Sun to investigate...
Its the Full Moon. I didnt sleep a wink last night. Today is gonna be a real drag.
Didn't sleep a WINK???!
I slept over 15 hours!!!!
We are having 6 cubic metres shipped over and that will cost around 3000 Euro. It's quite expensive I think. I guess it's a little further than Colorado.
A LOT further... does it go by ship then?
Also I think they probably had about half that...
3000 euro... what's that about £2000
hmmm not that cheap
My thoughts are with you throughout the inevitable screamy-exhaustion trauma of moving 1/2 way round the world. Ukk!
(why do people call Australia halfway round the world when it's as far as you can get from here??)...
have you got jobs and everything sorted?
