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!

Looks like Mrs Thatcher...lol. But I see what you mean, it's that trap like mouth.
I think they rather remind me of geckoes...probably distantly related like 7th cousins twice removed or something. They're certainly an unusual and fascinating creature.
But unlike gekkos they slumber about in sludgy lake-bottoms and cannot scuttle upside down on ceilings!
Thank you for being the ONLY PERSON to comment here, I'm honoured!
I had one of those as a pet. It was the slug green one though, and a lot of fun until it changed into an ugly salamander.
Janice~
I want a pink one or a yellow one. They're quite rare here and I've only seen them for sale in Harrods. Apparenntly you can't keep them with fish, however, in case they EAT each other..!
That natural coloured one there looks like godzilla!
btw did you have you keep it in heated water or room temp?
Oh wow, these little buggers are pretty cute.
Wow. I've never heard of or seen one of these before. COOL!
Interesting critters. Love those gills.
Baino: Actually, Axolotls lack the jaw strength to "bite". They actually use their teeth to latch on to their prey, and typically they cannot pierce human skin. You may feel their teeth at your skin, but you definitely won't feel pain. I used to pick my little guys up all the time (mostly for feeding), and after they get used to it they try to latch on to you, and it's actually a really interesting feeling.
Whaaaa?! Axolotls should not be taken out of the water their skin is very delicate and easily damaged by human hands and they will not survive for long out of water, they cant even support their own body weight out of the water, where the hell did you hear that this was fine to do? also that suspiciously toy looking axolotl is a toy! Axolotls also dont morph that is why they are so special comapared to other salamanders they will only morph if water conditions are intolerable but as axies are not built to morph they will not survive for long. Anyone intrested in owning an axolotl should not take notice of this info, just look at the pics! Axolotl.org and caudata.org are fantastic sources of information on these animals!
