World’s Newest Designer Drug – Crocodile (Krokodil)

Crocodile or Krokodil is hitting the poorest people across Russia and other international areas with vicious abandon. Krokodil is a codeine based designer drug that when altered with several toxic chemicals results in a ferociously addictive drug. It causes instant abscesses that soon become gangrene. Krokodil use literally eats users alive. No other drug of abuse is causing this level harm in such a short period of time. It is stronger than injecting heroin and more toxic than injecting Cocaine and Methamphetamine simultaneously.

There are an estimated three hundred thousand Krokodil addicts in Russia at present. This number is growing quickly despite the fact that most Krokodil addict’s only live about 3 years. The vast majority of Krokodil addicts are poor without job prospects who live in areas where the winter lasts 8 months a year. The only help available comes from underfunded Pentecostal Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers who can barely believe what they are witnessing, kids and adults with arms and legs literally rotting off their body.

Paradox of drugs:

It feels so good - but is so damn bad for you.
