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!
AT YESTERDAY'S MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL SERVICE, before an estimated world TV audience of 1,000,000,000 eleven year-old Paris Jackson gave a tearful tribute to the memory of a man who, biological relation or not, had been a father to her all her life...

I don't know if it should have been allowed or not. She seemed to want to speak and maybe it helped her. The Congresswoman's speech also moved me.
If the girl wanted to speak it was her right to do so. If she was forced into it, then shame on them.
Very true. With these things you never can judge or tell ...
Nope . .she's going to end up being swung into the same downward spiral as her dad. Now everyone knows what she looks like, something he tried so hard to protect her from. The media circus begins.
Sorry I commented before watching the clip, I didnt watch the memorial . .no no no . ..look at the minders bustling around her . .poor little mite.
I have watched the memorial service from beginning til the end. This man was a genius. It's only a pity that he was pulled through dirt and accused of child abuse in the States and now he became America's hero ! He was a very sensible man and I think that really broke him. I have seen him life together with my son here in Brussels in 1988 and I only can tell that he put all his soul in his performance. I also love the last video you showed here. My son wanted to see him now in London but instead of getting a ticket confirmation he heard the sad news !
And one thing is sure, it's better to have a father then a biological producer ! Poor children.
Baino: I know. I don't know what to think... all I can say is: this wouldn't have happened 50 years ago... not 20 years ago... but things like this happen now. Is it right? I'm not at all sure. But if she really wanted to have her say, who's to stop her?
