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!

Sorry to hear you're in pain Gleds, I hope you get it sorted soon. x
ewww, I know all about tooth pain, had to get one extracted last year.
God I hope your teeth don't look that bad! Better popping ibuprofin than herion!
Ugh*!* too much graphic discomfort in that picture for me *!* Hope you get some relief to your dental/gum pain Gleds.
Mein Gott!!! I don't like the look of those teeth at all. I sincerely hope yours are a trifle better than that, Gleds. Still, the dentist will fix you up quick smart.
Good luck!
Nasty. Hope you get sorted soon.
George stole and ate 1 pound (I suppose 500g really!) of pure English butter yesterday! Then got us up twice in the night so he could go out and poo!
In this day and age no ones mouth should ever look that bad. Blech!
I just went to the dentist and I'm happy to report I got a clean bill of health.
Do you have a dental appoint yet? It sounds like you need one, bad.
Janice~
Good luck at the dentist, my friend. Nobody likes going to the damn dentist.
Love, SB
AKELAMALU: much better today. And not even been to "darned" dentist yet!!
LAURA: wish I had the guts to pull ALL my teeth out and be done with 'em. I HATE TEETH!!!!
BAINO: neither heroin nor ibuprofen had very much effect, even when I went x3 past the recommended dose on the latter. So much for medicines of any kind. I needed a "central line" as anaesthetists call it and a bucket full of IV fentanyl!!!
But hopefully all that crap is over and done with :-)
BIMBIMBIE: hope to have a dentist appointment by the end of the week...
PUSSINBOOTS: MY gums actually look too WHITE rather than red... dunno what that means... maybe they're slightly blistered. I dunno. But though it's agony it looks FAR from impressive... no idea at all what's wrong. No pus. No tumours to be seen. No impressive external symptoms AT ALL...
LIZ: What a swine that George is!!!
JANICE: I'm gonna get one tomorrow. I spent my energies obtaining "symptomatic relief" from pain over the weekend. The Corsodyl anti gingivitis mouthwash worked a treat...
SB: British dentists are ridiculously difficult to find. Unless you wanna PAY about £100 per extraction. And I need about 25 of 'em!!!
I don't think that I've ever seen anyone with teeth like that. It is truly sick. The poor polar bear--extinction seems on the horizon unless something is done.
What on earth that person had done to get teeth like that I've absolutely no idea and I dread to think...
