For others who are interested in the "krokodil" drug (WARNING graphic video)

Short 16 min story and video on how the Krokodil drug (and drugs use in general) is spreading in Russia.  The town they profile has over a million people and 15% are addicts.

  • What the heck? I just google images and some of these people just have exposed bone. I mean they are all in hospitals but like...why don't they amputate the bone off? I guess maybe these pictures are before that? Gross.

  • What gets me is this stuff is how this stiff is even even discovered (invented?).

    Did someone one day say "Let me put a whole bunch of household chemicals togethor, boil it & see if I can get a high?"

    "Hmm, Bill...this is nice. But, you know what it needs? A smidge more lighter fluid."

    I was looking at some of the pictures and was wishing I could see different angles of the wounds and hear the outcome. I don't creep out or skeeve easily with morbid/gross stuff

  • Are other countries seeing this drug problem as well?  Codeine is available without a prescription in a lot of places, right?  I just wonder if this is spreading to other places.
