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!
GARAGE: this is the station I'm listening. With these things it's usually the later the better. When I woke up at midnight it was pssssht-ta-clonking pleasantly ~ Love FM Live

hello good morning y'all it's 4am whacha doing you lazy lot!!
comen on north america is 5-8 hours behind is giving NO EXCUSE for no slew of comments about these obscure british tunes!
hey i feel all normal ~ faintly boring ~ today. ukkkk!!!
how terrible can it be getting WELL!
(getting depressed more like, let's be frank)
anyway MESSAGES PLEASE!!!
When I cannot sleep I read and wait until a fall asleep. If I don't then I continue to read until I want to get up. You get only upset if you try to sleep and it doesn't work.
I have been doing Scrabble, as you know. Maybe start playing a public game or two. Reading is good too when I can't sleep. Do they have 24 hr. NA meetings there? I am up and about. But it is a luxury to not have to be up at 0530.
good luck with the shrink today.btw why shrink? sorry dont mean why you seeing one just wondered why idiots like me use the word shrink for a head doctor?shall i attempt to spell pyschiatrist.well that actually looks right!anyway gotta go get kids from school.bye,lynn.
Gattina: that's why I'm up like a lark at 2am, not trying to sleep for anyone. I can only read what I already know, or something short. So I've been reading the NA Basic text 6th ed. The stories are different from the 5th ed. Full of Eskimos and Saudi Arabians and English people whereas the 5th ed was just 1960s Americans! I read their Big Book for the stories, love 'em.
Syd: they have meetings around 7am and ones in the late evening. How typically backward and British NOT to have 24 hour ones. I'd go. I'd like to go to one online but this computer thinks I'm under 18 so it won't let me!
Lynn: why go to a psychiatrist? I hope I spelled that properly? I went to see my worker last week and was off my nut. I just thought I was slightly hyper. I was very hyper and ended up down a mental hospital getting assessed (nothing to do with being let in, it was so they had actually seen me in that state). Usually I get depressed. I remember blogging other stuff to do with my "mental health" that wasn't just plain depression but unless those professionals see it you won't get the right treatment. I can't take antidepressants, they make me speed off my head, which is not what they're meant to do and last time I crashed horribly while still on them. Whatever the hell this is it needs fixing.
did you see the doc today-any good?
loving the garage i'd forgotten about 'it's a london thing'
love it :)
L X

HI. hope all ok.

logged in 2 c how u got on.
hoping no news is good news
(as they say)

(& cynicism towards drs etc)
keeps suggesting otherwise.

hoping

The dr is today Thursday. I did have an appointment yesterday but everything got confused, so it's today.
I keep wondering what the hell I'm meant to say. I won't indulge that as it's a waste of energy. So I'm pouring energy into cooking. Cleaning.
As well as blogging.
And going to endless appointments and meetings.
If I've missed any major point here I will come back to it. I'm going to read through my comments carefully later on and answer any Missed Things
now I have to rush! As in running
done enough Mental Rushing for... quite a while
though it was v nice
and FAR better than being depressed
;-)
