Blog Entry #5 Krokodil (WARNING, CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGE)

Russia's flesh eating drug "Krokodil" has reportedly spreads into U.S

Affects of Krokodil on the Forearm

The drug 'Krokodil' is a heroin substitute that is much more dangerous. its made with codeine, gasoline, paint thinner, iodine, Hydrochloric acid, and red phosphorus just to name a few. It's close to heroin except its three times cheaper than the opiate, and far easier to obtain. Another thing that makes it more accessible is that it can be cooked in 30 minutes.

This drug eats flesh, as you can see in the image above. Its incredibly dangerous and I am not surprised it made its way into the US. There is an estimated 100,000 people addicted in Russia, then spread to Europe. Now in the USA.

Why am I not surprised? They have a giant population, along with countless numbers of people who are addicted to hard core drugs and want a cheap alternative. I would be more surprised to see it hit Canada on a large scale, but even then i would have kind of expected it.
