What is krokodil? The flesh-rotting drug comes to the U.S.

[FGB]

Krokodil, a dangerous, heroin-like narcotic that rapidly rots flesh, may have made its first appearance in the United States, according to Arizona health officials.

This week, toxicologists at the Banner Good Samaritan Poison and Drug Information Center in Phoenix said they had seen a "handful" of patients believed to have taken krokodil. The drug has been around for a decade and became a serious problem in Russia, but its use has never before been documented in the States.

It's hard to beat plain old heroin that just makes drinking out of a public restroom toilet seem like heaven on earth, without all the deleterious flesh rotting properties.

Is this stuff cheaper than heroin?
Cheap way to solve the drug problem I guess.

"It can also cause permanent brain damage, resulting in speech impediments and spastic movements that,
combined with the nasty skin-related symptoms, have led some to dub it a zombie drug."

Rotting skin, and a rotting brain! Date bait, for sure. *gagging at the thought, and sad with pity.*

These addicts were, at one time, people with potential, and a future.

They may have been people with potential once..... but as soon as they gave their lives to narcotics, they gave up the right to my pity.
Harsh... maybe.
But I've watched too many friends spiral into needy, lying, thieving abusers.
My pity ran out long ago.

It's junk morphine mixed with gasoline. Straight to the vein. So it depends on the oil price, I guess.
