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!

Those people that get prizes year after year in biology, chemistry, medicine haven't still found the cure to cancer, autoimmune diseases, influenza,drug addiction, etc.. and that's quite frustrating.
Indeed.
And the "Peace" prize seems more about politics than peace to me!
Look I have no issue with Obama, in fact I think he's the great black hope but he hasn't actually done anything yet!
They have gone mad. I love this article by the Wall Street Journal... and the title is brilliant:

Got to feel a little sorry for him, you could hear the embarrassment in his voice*!*
BAINO: ~~ I know. I thought the Nobel Prize was meant to be a "lifetime achievement" type award. Not something you give to someone newly elected to add kudos to a fledgling presidency ..(!)
JENNY: here here!
BIMBIMBIE: I don't blame him. In fact if it had been me, I'd have been tempted to turn them down ..!

I think that President Obama is a great choice. I think that he has helped bring a new face to the US internationally. And it's a much better outlook than in previous years.
SB: but don't you think he won it a bit soon... he's only been in office a few months!
Syd: I agree it could well be a great choice... time will tell. It just seems to me nakedly politically motivated giving him the prize... which I somehow had assumed the Nobel Judging Committee should somehow be above ...
(how naive was I!!?!)
