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!

Hope you managed to shake off old Rip and got a quality 8 hours of sleep.
I love Wind in the Willows and do you remember Tales from the Riverbank? You should look them up on utube, all those furry conversations wonderful.
Smiles*!*
Tales from the Riverbank was amazing. Those little hamsters and guineau pigs acting all together. Hilarious!
Those are really neat critters. There are so many animals that need protecting.
Aye ~ do you have water volies Stateside? That's something I meant to mention in my article, but didn't want to overcomplicate my cute picture-story
Wind in the willows! I loved that book as a kid. And the water voles are adorable.
They are utterly delightful animals. It saddens me to think that they are so vulnerable
I never knew that the show originated in Canada and when their tv station passed over the pilot the creators went to BBC
"but that is another story" as Johnny Morris always ended each story*!*
Hi Gleds ~~ Great lot of photos of the water voles - I don't think we have them here, but I may be wrong.
The Wind in the Willows was a good title and you sure like little furry
creatures. The German seems to be progressing. Take great care, my friend, With Best Wishes, Merle.
Lucinda: Hi aren't they cute?
Long time no hear, hope all is well with you. I noted your French seemed to be coming along nicely. I'm saying nothing, but thez do say pillowtalk is the very best way of learning anz language..(!)
Jams: I once saw one paddling up a stream when I was a lil boy, it was so furry and cute (and soggy-looking, it has to be said...)
Bimbimbie: yeah did you know the Muppets was commissioned and produced in the UK even though it was an American show... Something to do with the vagiaries of TV production "lore"...
Merle: I do love a furry animal as you know, Merle.
I would imagine water voles are not indiginous to Australia, though I might be wrong, too.
Then again you have dunnarts. I saw the Attenborough docco on them - hilarious!
I actually get compliments on my German, would you believe it!! Though people do point out I have a "style of my own" (ie quite a foreign-sounding yet highly articulate one, I like to think!)
They are adorable, Gledds.
Hope all is well with you.
Love,
SB
