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!
IT WAS A VERY QUIET DAY I had hot chicken Madras (supermarket stylee) and a bottle of fake Baileys and watched the Queen's Speech at 3pm (British tradition). That was about it. Then I took some Valium and fell into merciful sleep. Anything that helps one escape Xmas is an excellent thing in my book...!

Glad you are surviving.
You probably already know but every time I try to come I get a big warning saying that you have stuff from www.colectiva.tv that is known to distribute malware.
Have a happier New Year!
A good way to get through the day. It's always an anti climax
Yeah me too on the "fake Baileys" bit moreish innit? This is my first night with no gear since ??? I cant remember how long . . . my quota dint quite last and "The man" away for a night . . . I'm sure I'll survive. In fact so far it feels pretty much the same as any other evening. Take care with love x
Same shit, different day. At least its over for another year.

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! May all your wishes cometrue.
Jeannie: I know about the Malware warning but don't know what widget comes from that company to get rid of it.
Jams: best Xmas dinner I ever had was a rack of beef! That was amazing. But xmas usually is an anticlimax with crap on TV when you want to watch TV then you realize you missed something really great on another channel!
Buggerlugz: it never does last does it. Da man was probably doing you a fava by not being on. Then again who the hell does he think he is taking your dosh all year round then thinking he's entitled to Xmas off!!!!!!
Lilly: well put ;-)
Anna Grace: I actually do have a wish. A real respectable one that could really come true if only I put some work and some money behind it...
I hope all your wishes come true too....
