more destructive than meth

[big bloke]

Krokodil, a Russian homecooked alternative to heroin made from codeine pills, iodine, lighter fluid, and some other industrial chemicals, has a nasty side effect: it rots the users flesh right off their bones.
Here's a link with some NSFW videos of the users coming in for amputations:

fk that.

"a life expectancy of less than a year"

[Pesty]

Shocking pictures If true.

I could be wrong but the last picture fo the girl in stripey dress looks very much like Rachel Whitear.

The pics were used in the UK as a deterant to people using drugs with the parents permission IIRC.

[mrdelmonti]

Fk, people are actually willing to let that happen to themselves?!

[carmonk]

Cheap, though, so don't knock it til you've tried it.

[Pesty]

A quick google image search proves that the last picture atributed to being a russian krocidil death wads a British girl in her bedroom that was belived to have died from an overdose of heroin although there is some doubt over it now.

if that picture is wrong how do we know the others are legit?

Hard to believe the "smack heads" can co-ordinate their body parts and brain cell to make the stuff themselves as the article states. Surely the dealers would make it and knock it out to them.

Smells of rotting flesh fish to me, aka bullst.

That's horrific. I can't imagine being so addicted to something that you keep taking it, even though you know it's killing you. It makes heroin look positively benign.

If anyone wants to read this without seeing gory images of questionable origin, the same article was printed in the Independent:

I'll stick to beer.

Can't say I'm too upset by the Darwinism of it all though.

[Silent1]

bks all chance it will actually be anything like heroin though

[Neil H]

In the Youtube links at the bottom they saw a guys leg off (which is just bare bone and a big lump of rotten flesh) while he sits there fully conscious. fking gruesome.

[Blue Oval84]

Saw that one, it's horrific!

[thinfourth2]

Hope it comes to the uk and becomes real popular with the druggies.

[Boobonman]

Pretty grim videos...

What a credit to humanity you are.

People are making and taking this drug because they can't afford heroine. They know it's killing them but can't come off because as the drug wears off the user experiences intense pain for weeks on end.

The damage is caused by impurities damaging the users circulation resulting in necrosis.

It's time to legalise heroine.

Also, parts of Russia aren't very nice.

Don't worry, Darwin will sort them out. Fewer druggies in the gene pool = better.
