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!
THIS is why I say I'm in a mess, Anna.

I'll send you a digital camera, then you can send me pics of your Hamsters and of you.
I feel like shit today too. I'm sure you more handsome than the photo you posted.
I like you either way.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think I look fantastic. No I don't I look wrose than Worzel. John Pertwee needed hours of makeup to look like that. I just look like it anyway
Well, your hair might need some conditioner or something. Looks a bit dry to me!
Yesterday I had a complete meltdown when I looked through my Xmas photos. I looked nothing like I thought and instead was faced with a sick looking, fat, tired old drug addict.
It shook me up so much that I'm going to do something about ... I have to!
If only I looked as good as the photos you posted!
Anyway, Merry Xmas Gleds and I hope you have a better 2011.
Talk soon.
SYD: I think I should cut it off and sell it to a local farmer. It should feed cows quite nicely. Or perhaps you could recycle it into paper...?
TERRY: akh I never posted the addicts' Xmas did I but I did put up heroin. Did Worzel Gummidge come on Australian TV? We got Funky Squad which was brilliant. If you did get Worzel Gummidge then on behalf of Queen and country may I sincerely apologize
You don't scare me, Gledwood. I would like to meet you one day.
Be warned though. Usually I go for the drag look. With more dirt on my face
I used to post about my Diana Ross fright wig all the time. it was electric blue end everything.
The maggots are really exotic. When they hatch they turn into iridescent rainbow butterflies the size of small birds.
I took the fright wig in my stride, probably looked no further. I'm awfully conventional and nice, we'll look fabulously incongruous together!
OK I'll have to remember to bring a fright wig. What suits best: electric blue, luminous green, canary yellow or more-than-shocking pink~~~?
.... I meant suits me not you. But you're welcome to the psychedelic spares if ya like!
I'm looking forward to the blue. And not for me thanks, I think the contrasting look of sensible me and fabulous you will be more striking.
