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!

Gled,
Here in California we have the Jack rabbit that's not a rabbit at all but a hare.
Good luck with the new rehab center. I hope it works out better for you.

The rehab is actually in California, but I'd go if I could. We have equally good ones here, that I'm googling slowly. "Dual diagnosis" is the keywords, not "pets" but I thought it was amazing that they do equine therapy and other animal therapies there, I expect they'd be really good for people with mental "issues" coming off nasty chemicals... It does have to be "dual" I just couldn't handle coming off drugs in a place where you'd be considered a weirdo for having a nervous breakdown. I've had a flare up of usually depression every single time I've tried to detox or change meds. When I haven't been depressed I've been manic (or slightly high and manic) which again isn't normal. I don't think I could handle the paranoia these days of knowing I was odd one out. I'd be happier in a place where I knew others had worse problems than me. I'm not scared of mentally ill people. So at best it would be like a giant version of my Nutter Club I used to go to. Home from home. Home at last!!
I was fascinated seeing these in Sweden. Really interesting Lagomorphs. I like your happy furry posts.
You mean the European hares?
Don't they have hares in America?
See I thought they did.
I don't know anything about America, you know... it's a Land of Mystery to me..!!
