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!
Heute schlief ich fast den ganzen Tag lang. Ich wachte nach 16.00 Uhr.
Zuerst musste ich zur Apotheke, um mein Methadon abzuholen.
Dann ging ich in den Supermarkt, und kaufte eine Pizza. Sie war sehr frisch und nett.
Sie klang genau wie eine Spieldose.
Flapper saß noch auf der Fernsehantenne des Nachbars.
Ich denke, sie liebt das Digitalfernsehen über alles. Das hat ihr so vielen Luxus-Barsche gegeben!

I am glad that Flapper is still around.
O yeah! I don't know whether he's bred babies, or just attracted other wood pigeons ~ but there seem to be lots and lots of pigeons on our road now...
thanks for your information...
Gledwood,
danke für den ausführlichen Bericht.
Der kleine Stubentige, der sich hinlegt wie ein Bettvorleger, ist zum Verlieben.
Ich beneide Dich um den Gesang der vielen Vögel. Leider werde es in meinem Garten immer weniger. Aber immerhin hat ein Rotschwanz-Pärchen erfolgreich gebrütet.
Viele Tauben haben wir auch hier. Zucht- und auch Wildtauben.
Du schreibst, daß Du Goethe-Gedichte magst. Ich auch. Aber noch mehr liebe ich Gedichte von Hermann Hesse und Wilhelm Busch.
Liebe Grüße - und ich lese gern bei Dir, es ist ein wunderschöner Blog - ich bleibe dabei
Irmi
Thanks for the translation!
The cat photo is adorable.
Gama: whoare you? The security says your site is unsafe..!
Irmi: Die Experten sagen, dass es immer weniger Gartenvogel gibt. Hier zum ersten mal sehe ich Sperlingen ~ die hatten fast verschwunden ~ nieman weißt wo/warum. Ich suche nach guten deutschen Dichtung. Ich sollte eine Sammlung kaufen. Und vielleicht werde ich einen deutschen Blog anfangen müssen!
SB: yeah I wish I could look as cute as that kittycat first thing in the morning..!
