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!

And they are so cute. We have many lovely birds in the wonderful land of Oz!
OH I love Budgies! We've had about five and we taught them all to talk!
Wow! Don't they look cute?
I only come back to this side of the blogworld because of you, gleds.
I'm fine (thanks)...better now...just working fulltime at a job I really love! That, mostly, explains my absence.
I've always had budgies...that last pic looks very much like the one that just died (his name was "Pretty Bird"...as named by my nephew). Love them...I'll post pics of him later.
I'm going to update my blog, just for you. :)
Love those chatting budgies.
You know I've never seen one in the wild but then I'm on the coast. We do have a similar and very pretty little parrot called a Red Rumped Parrot. I prefer them in the air and chatting in trees to cages but then I'm lucky, I just have to look outside my window and there's a plethora of parrots!
oh so cute - those stripes don't quiet look feasible, do they?
we sometimes get indigenised (?) green parakeets in our garden
We use to have four budgies, but got rid of them when we moved. The are sweet to watch, but noisy little buggers.
Janice~
Did you know my Australian cousin DID NOT KNOW that budgies come from the Australian outback?... she just assumed they had somehow always lived in cages... (or something?
Like Baino I've never seen them in the wild either except via the tv, that first photo is gorgeous*!*
Debs I'm very flattered... I'm glad you're OK, glad you got another job... see you in a mo ;->...
Great photos. Thanks for sharing these.
