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!

Very pretty song.
We've a lot of bumblebees around our house this year - not so many yellow jackets.
We don't have bumble bees out here unfortunately but i remember them from my childhood in England.
That's a Cold Play song isn't it?
I've always liked bumbly bees. Big lumbering deep toned velvety creatures that they are. As for yellow jackets or wasps, I'm terrified of being stung by one of them, purely because I've been hospitalised twice after one of their attacks. We have hornets here, but unfortunately, no bumble bees. I'm not sure if they're in the cooler states, but they do have them in New Zealand.
I've just been in my garden taking photos of visiting bees*!*
Jeannie: yellowjackets ~ wasps? I once lived with wasps in the eves next to my sticky-out attick window. Nightmare. I had queen hornets buzzing in at 4am in February and March..!
(Twas then I discovered I'm a crack shot with the cockroach spray...)
Baino: that's a shame... but having heard Sydney's "tropical" garden birdsong... I'm not surprised... that said, I once saw a youtube of a MASSIVE black bumblebee in Thailand... getting extremely angry with a windowpane...
Pussinboots: you need to keep an insulin injection pen in your fridge!
Bimbimbie: 'ang on! Let me 'ave a look!
Bumblebees are neat critters. I much prefer them to yellow jackets and hornets that tend to attack.
yes ~ some of them naturalists tend to imply that anyone who gets stung by a wasp ~~ it's somehow their own fault. And yet they're vicious bastards. No-one can go near a wasps' nest, and yet a bumblebee hive you can take the lid right off and the tubby bees just carry on buzzing and crawling all over the place...
Baino: I'm not sorry about the song... sorry...
What great photos, Gleddy! They blew me away.
Love,
SB
