1. It's not so much landing on US soil as returning. The opiod Desomorphine was patented in the US, and originally researched as a non-addictive heroin/morphine alternative. Turned out way more addictive and way more quickly addictive, so research was dropped.
2. It can be simulated/approximated using common household items. But this just leads to a highly addictive, quickly addictive, highly adulterated product. Desomorphine doesn't cause the horrible side effects any more than alcohol causes blindness. But the adulteration/lack of filtration does.
3. Part of the addiction is, when you initially get the 'hot shot' that causes the skin wasting, etc., you come off your high in extreme and very real pain. So, in addition to the innate addictive qualities of Desomorphine, you have a strong need for pain relief, which the Krocodil provides.
