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!

i got diagnosed with bi-polar 2 like 5 years ago, originally and for a few years my doctor thought i was just depressed but after carefully looking at all the symptoms realizsed im actually bipolar, my meds (zyprexa) anti psychotic meds work wonder for me, im so glad i can most of the time feel normal, the best part is that when i get depressed i dont get suicidal, or have manic episodes where i want to stab people in the face.
i hope all is well with you gleds, and that the meds will help you!!!!!
kiss kiss hugs hugs
ps loves the rabbit eating a carrot, it made me laugh
ooh, her parents live just down the road from us. Sort of.
Can it be brought on by stress? Maybe it's just brought out.
I heard this about KZJ this morning on the news. Just goes to show even the rich and famous aren't immune eh?
My doctor told me I likely am bipolar. You're right, we've all got that shit.
Love you!
Sweden: I know I remember you posting when you felt shit. You spend a lot of money on meds don't you. I hope you're all right now
Liz: stress is the trigger not the cause. Only one person in a hundred or so ever becomes truly manic and a bigger percentage become hypomanic (mildly manic). Hypomania is the signature symptom of bipolar II disorder. Everything I've read on the subject says that this is a genetically transmitted disorder; in identical twins the chance of one twin having bipolar and the other twin having it too is 50%. Same goes for schizoaffective. I'm really not sure I am actually schizoaffective. If I'm not then I'm type 1 bipolar. Bipolar 1 and schizoaffective have nearly identical symptoms and the treatments are exactly the same so it doesn't really matter what it's called
Akelamalu: absolutely!
SB: if you're bipolar you need to be careful taking antidepressants, they can send you off into a manic episode!
I herd the news today too. Makes me feel not alone. You make me feel not alone.
I scored some H, good stuff. Although it is black tar its very pure. So my mood is stable right now. I had to fix in my juggular though. Dangerous, I know.
Drugs are bad, but they sure make you feel good.
I’m floored to read about this. I curiously looked up Bipolar II after reading this and the previous blog posts and I am recognizing the symptoms in someone I love. I didn’t know there was a diagnosis outside of depression for non-psychotic not-uber-manic behavior. Thank you so much Ms. Zeta-Jones for going public with your struggle and babble for covering it!
CAREN: I'm glad I'm not the only person it stabilizes. Clinic won't admit self-medication is real medication. Wikipedia says some sorts of depression are best treated with opiates/opioids
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogenous_depression
but of course the rest of medicine won't listen. I hope you're OK.
ATLANTA: I had bipolar symptoms for years but they were mild (the highs were, not the lows, the lows I had nearly all the time)... I got high of antidepressants and said nothing at the time, then when I did fess up nobody did anything about my condition until I was so manic I was being offered hospital admission. It's all fucked up. I'd advise your friend to get help soon if they feel they need it. Better to get help while you have symptoms then you'll get believed. Instead of waiting for it to fuck your life up and then maybe it's too late to repair some of that damage
