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!

Loved this post. Thanks for sharing.
When we went to Aus I got to hold a Koala but only on a cushion - I think because their claws are quite sharp but they are the cutest animals. :)
I'm really glad that they got patched up. It makes me sad that many were hurt.
Very unusual for a koala to drink like that poor little might. Actually our Children's Hospital have a fundraiser each day and you can buy little 'Bandaged Bears' they're not koalas but it's a cute way to support the hospital. Let's hope El Ninio (we're in for it this summer) doesn't cause more fire havoc.
Oh, you're not allowed to hold them any more. Their lethargy is due to their diet, low carb so they conserve energy but they still get a bit freaked if they're not 'cuddling' something.
Aw, poor things. I'm glad they got help, the one getting a sip of water looks so sore.
Janice~
Koalas look cute but they have monstrous claws, for climbing the trees of course, and they stink. Ever tried holding one? Eeewww.
Thank you. Love love Koalas; my heart goes out to those delightful little creatures.
;->...
sorry that Youtube was KIWI news about Australia I changed the wording...
... photos say it all :(
Hi Gleds ~~ Good post again about the koalas that were caught in the fires. The koalas eat only a select eucalypt (Gum)trees and get moisture from the same leaves. But with so much of their trees burnt, they had to look for water and refuge elsewhere. Many were cured in time,but alas many died.
A Spanish villa would look wonderful with that garden and with a good pressure hose, the watering would be easier than using a ladder. Take care,
Regards, Merle.
Bimbimbie: yes indeed...
Merle: she uses a hose? O yeah I see... I'd just assumed it might knock a lot of the plants out of their pots but maybe not...
I thought it looked odd seeing a koala drinking from a bottle like that. Of course it would never have done so in its life but seemed v adept. Poor buggers. Eucalyptus trees go up like gas explosions in such fires, don't they..?
