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!
FOR CHINESE TAKEAWAY or for...?

It's because most Chinese food tends to be coated in Gluten.
Thats what makes it so more-ish.
I've craved Chinese food but I've never craved heroin.
Choose food . . choose life . . .I guess also like heroin, half an hour after you've had some, you want some more!
Mmm... I would like two plate fulls of both! = )
This post made me laugh. It's a funny comparison. Not that it's funny being hooked on heroin, but you know what I mean.
That ginger beef does look delicious though!
Mmm Chinese. Now you have me cravin it dang it!
Haven't read ya in awhile but it was good to stop by. I've missed your writing. Just spent a bit of time catching up.
That Chinese food looks good, but I've never had a craving for heroin.
I hope your still working on kicking your habit?
Stay strong man.

Try chocolate Gleds *!*
tried one and not fussed
and the other just messes with your head too much
Hey, you OK chief? Five days and no post?
I just crave chocolate...
Yes, I completely understand this (and how it relates to drugs).
And now I want Chinese food...I'm going to the racetrack today and they serve it there. See what you've gone and done. ;)
Where are you Gleds?
I'm fine. Sorry about the delay was UNABLE TO POST due to NO ACCOUNT NO MONEY and I had to spend my 50ps on food and drink not inernet time unfortuanately.
Craving stodgy or MSG-funky food isn't THAT far off a craving for drugs... so if you ever get a manic Chinese takeaway obsession buzzing like a bee in your bonnet in the night you know something of the addict's "yen" for something gratifying..!
BTW a "yen" for something (we all know "yen" is Far Eastern money) goes back to opium days...
