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!

I know you can't help it Gleds but it makes me sad to read that you spent money on a hit rather than a pie. :(
I know you said that everyone is having a go at you, so I get why you're taking a hit, but you know you're only going to feel worse about everything once it wears off. I know that the temporary calm that it brings to your world feels like it's worth it, but in reality you know that's it's going to just make it worse. (I know I'm being a bit hypocritical). You should stick to the methadone and save your money for the pies and the hammies... = )
There is a guy in Toronto who wheels around 20 small rodent looking dogs in a baby carriage down by the lakeshore. When he lets them out it is complete chaos. I think Raymi had pics of it on her flickr acct.
I am sorry you are having such a bad day Gleds and I do wish there was some way to make your day better without the drugs. Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine a little brighter for you.
I'm not a fan of small dogs...I like those big ones that, when you put your arms around them to hug, there is something there.
Hmmm, pity about the hit.
I do so hope you got your pie.
There feels so much more i could say, but you'll have heard it all before.
My dog was like a fox terrier but bigger, she was like a teddy bear to look at.
Akelamalu: I know what you mean but hey ~ I did get pies as WELL as the hit. Also crappo Lidl had EXCEEDINGLY ANNOYINGLY sold OUT of the steak pie I wanted ... most probably bc some shyster punter had scooped up every single one of the 50 or so they'd put out that morning, if the number of useless chicken and bacon ones (that I would never touch in a million years) was anything to go by...
Lucinda: I know I should but that's so far easier said than done
Eileen: really? Rodentyswine doggies by Lake Ontario? wow~!! I shall have to have a look at her Flickr thang. Was that lately..??
Kahshe: hopefully... thanks
Pussinboots: I used to hate yappy tiny doggies. But I do like wire foxes, they look so funny with their giant bearded noses...
Firebird: was she an Airedale? they look exactly the same as wire foxes, only are about twice the height and treble the weight...
;->...
They are PRECIOUS!!!
Lemme see if i can find a pic for you...i will email it.
MQ: I know... aren't they quite the tubby entertainers!
Eileen:... hey I see what you mean: ta very much indeed...(!!!)!!~~;->...!
