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!

We had more snow at weekend - I'm heartily sick of it! The temperature here was -6C this morning, it's now -2.5C so it's getting warmer Wahay!
Stay warm, my dear. It's cold here in Ohio, too. More snow due.
Love, SB.
Like the photos. More snow. Take care and turn up the heat to stay warm.
I love the stoat, so cute. But the Bichon Frise? Needs a zip up the middle so you can stuff your pj's inside! Had one just like it when I was a child. Stay warm Gleds. We're having our first sunny day in over a week!
Yes, it's cold in NJ. The snow from the blizzard is all gone since it rained not too long after. A few flurries the other day. Now it's just brrrr.
Cute pictures!
It's lovely here, not too hot at present. As for snow...no thanks. I don't like the cold at all!
I didn't know that about stoats (being ermine!). Fascinating.
It's just stopped snowing here in Swansea. At least in my part. We've not had a lot - just enough to make the roads slippery but not enough for fun. It's flipping cold though. I shall wrap up very well when I walk Georgie.
His latest: I took very old fish and meat out of the freezer and didn't like the look of it so cooked it for him and was giving him a bit each day. Until yesterday when he got hold of the dish and ate about 3 salmon bits and a piece of steak I'd cooked for me but then didn't like the taste of. And that was after he'd had tea. He is a little roly-poly now.
have I wished you happy New year, gleds? If not, I do so most sincerely and pray that it will be a year of change for you.
no snow here yet ~ though it's heartily frosty all over!
trust me to get the breed of a cloud dog wrong ~ it's bichon frise, innit~??!?
I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our society, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory drops, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about almost every day.
