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!

Sound like you feel more 'normal' now Gleds and that's a good thing yeah?
i hope so, i've been sleeping and sleep makes normal
(i now know!)
hi,
yes u sounding a lot better. I know what u mean about not wanting to go. . .
somedays i go chemist (well everyday ) but sometimes i start chatting away in there 2 the woman about everything and nothing and i can hear myself and I think thats enough now stop, but i cant stop. then days like today i go in and hope 2 God its real busy so they wnt have time to talk. but i reckon they expect me to be a bit like that now.(predictably unpredictable)
its interesting how u say "i cant bear to walk in there as my normal boring self" How do u work out which is u? I tend to think im being normal when im chatting, laughing etc, "high" as u call it as thats fits in more, and then get stressed about going in as a miserable, paranoid, jumpy version of myself. I have no idea really who I am. and have given up trying to find out ;-)
good days and bad days.
hpe today is good with u.
catch yer later
x
Glad that you are getting some sleep. Hopefully, more calmness and sleep will come.
