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!

Happy x-mas, Gledwood. I'm looking forward to reading your blog in twenty-ten. May the new year be good to all of us.
Merry Christmas Gled, the food looks great.
I'm going to make a Christmas brunch, that's what I do ever year for Christmas.
Janice~
Thank y'all. It's 11:22am, me Mum just rang and said she's just putting her turkey in. I'm not doing the rbd till later as it's pre-done 20 min cooking time ~~ haha!
Sorry, Gleds, meat makes me shudder (have you seen the documentary "Food, Inc"??) But you know I am an open minded mum...:) so to each his own, and enjoy yourself.!
Celine makes me shudder. Her screechy voice hurts my ears. Literally. As does whiny country music and opera.
Merry Christmas!
Love Celine Dion's voice...it's beautiful.
That video is just amazing...I'm so glad the three were rescued and appear to be very happy and relaxed now.
I hope you've not got wasted today, Gleds. Have a "clean" Christmas.
Hugs from Australia
I hope your RBD was as good as you were expecting. We had the traditional Christmas Dinner. :)
Sweetheart I really hope you're not having Christmas alone. Although after our bash yesterday, a little 'me' time is called for. Hope you had a good day. Wanna come over for leftovers?
LOU: I used to be veggie on disgust-value... but gave it up due to lack of willpower and the sudden desire to do something just because I'd decided it was NOT to be done... know what I mean..!
JEANNIE: yeah I have to say I heard that back and wasn't TOO impressed... not as good as MY HEART WILL GO ON... the only Celine song I really like...
PUSSINBOOTS: i wish I'd posted MY HEART WILL GO ON now... I hope you had a very merry one and have a heppy new year 2010 "twenty ten"... really sounds like the future!
AKELAMALU: passable, thanks!
BAINO: I DID spend the day alone but it was OK glad yours was good
;->...
hey maybe I WILL drop in and surprise you ... one day... if I ever go on an Australian book tour... if I ever get in print...
Merry Christmas to you Gledwood hope you enjoyed your roast beef :-)
