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!

Hi Lady Anon :-)
Here's some platonic mistletoe.
XXXXXXX
There ya go!
Have a very Merry One too. If it cannot be "very merry" then may it be very tolerable. If you don't have an eighth of B or at least 4xpukka 20s to make it through, then may it be just tolerable. If it's not tolerable, please email me. I'll be online on Xmas day for anyone who wants to talk to me all day on Gabbly.
That's my Gledwood Xmas Samaritans-style counselling service to the world!
(OK OK it's not. It's just me bored on my own, Hopefully pilled out and drunk and talking shit to all comers!!)
Have a good one, Lady A.
And an EFFORTLESSLY SUPERIOR 2011!!!
Thanks for stopping by Gleds with the Christmas greeting. The same back at you. Have a good day and a better 2011.
Thanks for your Christmas wishes Gleds. I'm not too far away from you and enjoying some lovely cold weather. Paris is cold with sleaty snow this afternoon. I've been listening to 5 Live and gather it's a lot whiter over on your side of the channel ...
You've given yourself and those of us who care for your wellbeing the best news and start for 2011 - well done and keep looking forward. Wishing you lots of peace of mind and restful sleep over Christmas. xx
I'll be back tomorrow to watch the Pogues - one of my all time fav Christmas songs *!*
Merry Christmas to you!
Sean McGowan,(spelling?) what a great singer and character he is.
My very favorite is Dirty Old Town.
All the best to you, always,
j.
Syd: Many thanks. 2011 couldn't be much more of a mixed bag than 2010. I'm hoping a year off Heroin might be a better year, know what I mean...
Bimbimbie: You know I did blip 2 days ago, but it was just a blip. Are you there with Baino? Did you 2 meet online? IF so that's so modern of you!!
Taffeta: have you seen the state of Shane McGowan's teeth! They're what gives British Dentistry it's overwhelmingly outstanding reputation Stateside..!
Yeah, far as I know, the name's spelled Shane. Sean would be Shawn or Shorn.
