Krokodil: The drug that eats junkies
A home-made heroin substitute is having a horrific effect on thousands of Russia's drug addicts

This is an article about a drug junkies are using in Russia called "Krokodil". It is a cheap alternative to heroin, which causes people's skin to fall off and they can expect to live for about a year if using it daily. It is supposed to be desomorphine and made from codeine tablets bought without prescription, but i would bet it contains some nasty stuff from the chemicals they are using to make it. It is seriously wrong and i feel for the people hooked on it. Hell on earth really.
This world can be a very dark place... and even darker when living as a poor junkie in Russia.
