It won't be long until it's available in the US. I'm not sure we'll be able to afford the impact health wise.

If I didn't see this for myself....and at this point I wish I didn't I couldn't believe that anyone would let that happen to themselves. Thing is people do it all the time with other drugs...

gives me a strange sensation. It looks so fucked up but in a good way. I can't describe it.

I can kind of sympathize with you how it can produce that sensation now that you mention it... but that is still f-ed up, the feeling I got when I first saw it was just nasty.

Maybe you have some demons that make you feel that way I do not know. Go get an exorcist lol.

We need to send that drug over to the Middle East! Yea, I know. I'm an asshole.

Fuck why would you even do it for the first time if you knew what the end result will look like?! Looks like Russia sure is a desperate place!

I had never heard of it.

"Krokodil"

Desomorphine attracted attention in 2010 in Russia due to an upsurge in clandestine production, presumably due to its relatively simple synthesis from codeine. The drug is easily made from codeine, iodine and red phosphorus,[8] in a similar process to the manufacture of methamphetamine from pseudoephedrine, but desomorphine made this way is highly impure and contaminated with various toxic and corrosive byproducts. The street name in Russia for home-made Desomorphine made in this way is "krokodil" (крокодил, crocodile), reportedly due to the scale-like appearance of skin of its users, and it is used as a cheaper alternative to heroin, as codeine tablets are available without a prescription.[9] Since this mix is routinely injected immediately with little or no further purification, "Krokodil" has become notorious for producing severe tissue damage, phlebitis and gangrene, sometimes requiring limb amputation in long-term users. The amount of tissue damage is so high that addicts' life expectancies are said to be as low as two to three years.[10][11][12]

Abuse of home-made desomorphine was first reported in eastern Siberia in 2002, but has since spread throughout Russia and the neighboring former Soviet republics. In October 2011, indications of "Krokodil" use were found in Germany, with some media outlets claiming several dead users.[13]
