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!

Great song for Anna:)
I'm in terrible pain today after shoveling the driveway & sidewalk of 2' of snow.
I can't move my neck and everything hurts.
Take some hard opiates.
I hope you get well soon.
With or without hard opiates.
You know if they'd only bought up the Afghan poppy harvest those THOUSANDS of people in Haiti and elsewhere wouldn't be lying in hospital with no pain medication whatsoever. Governments are such bastards.
Yeah, you're right.
I feel better now with just ibuprofen. I have percs & vicodin in my cabinet ,but I never take anything unless the pain is excruciating..
Take some Percs and Vicodin go on! I don't know what Percocet or Vicodin actually are but they sound OK... though I do remember taking 2 Vicodin when I was withdrawing from a baby habit and they did NOTHING to make me feel better. Eventually we found some DFs (dihydrocodeine) and this held me right into the next afternoon (on severe heroin addiction I'd have felt nothing from these, if I felt anything they'd wear off within 4 hours). O I shouldn't incite anyone to use drugs even if I'm joking. Ibuprofen's supposedly the best OTC pain meds you can get. You know the original discoverer used 600mg for a headache. I found that out. The optimum dose of paracetamol and ibuprofen is 50% more than that on the packet so that's what I take. it's my body, in my view taking a noxious chemical and it STILL not working is the worst of both worlds so take a full-on dose or don't dose at all! That's my personal view. Anyone who exceeds stated doses might die so just remember that kiddos
Great song. R.E.M. is good.
I posted up the other one, Losing My Religion. The official video's not that good in my view so I posted up somebody's home made version
