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!

What is methadone's real colour?
White. A white powder dissolved in a heavily gloopy syrup with so much sugar (I just found out) that if it were for children it would be banned!
The syrup is coloured with 3 different yellow and green E-numbered colouring agents.
Great short poem. Winter is creeping in on me too!!
My cats are angry drunks on catnip. Very mean to each other. We stopped giving it to them.
I watched a deal going down where I have my lunch today . .I sit by the river for 15 mins with an iced coffee and there's a bunch of guys who meet their dealer on Thursdays. Very sad. They're not purse snatching granny killers either.. stick with the program Gleds.
HIT 40: ANGRY CATS ON CATNIP..??? SURELY NOT! I ONCE HAD AN OLD FRIEND (IE MY FRIEND'S LANDLADY) WHO WAS IN HOSPITAL FOR A HEART BYPASS. HER CAT WAS MISERABLE BC HE HATED LIVING ON A BALCONY AS MUCH AS ANYTHING. ANYWAY I BOUGHT A HUGE BAG OF CATNIP FROM NIELS YARD HERBALISTS AND STEEPED IT IN BOILING WATER FOR 5 MINS, COOLED IT DOWN AND GAVE IT TO HIM. HE WENT MENTAL AND LOVED ME FOREVER AFTER THAT!
BTW THE POEM SHOULD HAVE SAID "ON a withered branch"... bloody computer cut it off.
BAINO: I HEARD A STORY OFF VALIUM MARILYN YESTERDAY ABOUT CITY STOCKBROKERS GOING TO LONDON KINGS CROSS FLATS IN THE 1980S TO SCORE AND SHOOT UP HEROIN IN LUNCHBREAKS!
My sleep patterns all fucked up, too, Gleddy. You are not alone, my friend.
Love, SB.
No winter here. In the low 80's today. I want some cooler weather.
Roborovskis are cute. Have you ever tried giving a hamster some coke? Me neither as probally drive them up the wall.
They much be naturally high to run on the wheel at such fast speed. Love them.
