I can't believe this is for real...

So my wife showed me pics of what a drug called 'Krokodil' does to people. I thought it was a hoax for sure, serious gangrene, limbs having to be amputated etc. Horrible stuff. So I googled it, and lo and behold:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desomorphine

Holy shit! And people actually do that? Do a search for the stuff. Friggin hardcore.

Desomorphine isn't the problem, the problem is all the filth that ends up contaminating it. Inject a mixture of solvents, caustics, and reducing agents every 60-120minutes and you're going to run into problems.

no offense to anyone whos into injectable substances, but FUCK THAT SHIT.

No this is why something safer should be available. There's no fucking reason for this!

That's also what I understood from the WIKI page. I simply cannot wrap my head around this one and I thought I'd already seen the worst. You're never going to stop people taking all sorts of stuff. If it's out there, somebody sure as hell is going to try it. No need for stuff like this I agree. Hooray, prohibition.

This goes back to glue huffing and elephant shit huffing...that's all an addict can get,that's all they'll do..if all the heroin on the east coast was cut with dry crumbley dod shit,people would still shoot it...those krocodile addicts are in the same boat...jason,I bet you've smoked shitty brickweed when in a pinch right??...

 

[rory420420]

I would figure russia would have axcess to more heroin than most countries given their proximity to opium producing countries..I'm guessing the market is here in the states when it comes to price..
Duck,injecting anything every hour and you will run into trouble.

 

[Hipster2U]

Heroin is available in Russia. They use the Krokodil because it costs 1/3 as much.

 

[rory420420]

That's dumb..it cost 10 times as much really..heroin last a lot longer..you use way less as often..

 

[rory420420]

Well they also eat sallow there(smoked pork fat..nothing else but fat)..so I guess their customs may be weird to us americans..

I think the Russians do it a bit differently, far as I recall reading those guys all cook it at home then shoot it up right there. They don't even buy it. I guess it works out dirt cheap that way. It reminds me of the time I tried to smoke nutmeg. Put me off DIY highs for a long time.

 

[rory420420]

I seen a clip on one of those drug documentary shows about it..pretty nasty stuff..still doesn't make sense to me if you could get heroin why do that stuff..other than the rush has to be gnarly.

Well I an willing to bet its not exactly the clever kids into it...

 

[rory420420]

Clever enough to be home chemists and do simple extractions..id take the $ spent on red phosphous,make meth,sell the meth,then buy heroin..lol...

 

[rory420420]

At what point do you say id rather have my arm than to be high? Russia must be more boring than north jersey..

russia seems like the most boring fucking place on earth. Summertime is like 20 degree below freezing and everyone is pissed off and drinking vodka. You have to have a dash camera on your car so the police don't extort money from you, and so the mob does not rip you off. So if your not freezing your balls off and getting mugged by a cop, the only other thing to do is make fake heroin and hope it makes your arm fall off ....that way you have a good reason to shoot yourself.
