Apparently its similar, according to that documentary. Also says that the heroin users move onto it once they can't afford heroin anymore, at least some do.

Yeah, this isn't making the rounds within the Blue Valley school district. This happens when you're clinging to the bottom of the boot. No education, no skills, no future, no ****s left to give. No one living in an abandoned building is running down a list of potential side effects when their junkie friend shows up with something new.

I already responded. Not your fault though, since you're in Australia and you guys get everything a little later than we do. :p

Pretty much this.

Most if the users (in that town in Russia at least) seem to be the ones that have nothing really else to live for.

Really sad.

Sorry breh. On Tapatalk and didn't see your reply.

Remember when red phosphorus made meth pink?Then it got hard to find so the cooks switched to anhydrous. That's when all the crackheads took up a pen tube.

Supposedly this problem started with our occupation of Afghanistan. Afghanistan provided the majority of Russia's heroin, and we've dealt a huge blow to the Afghan's heroin production. The Russian addicts are finding it extremely difficult to get their hands on heroin now, so they came up with this. So like everything else in the world, this is being blamed on the good ol' USA.

I was just messing with ya

Annie was some good shit. It caused stocks in aluminum foil and light bulbs to sky rocket.

Yet the people of Russia blame the Russian Gov for not having control of their drug problem. Sounds like reducing the amount coming into the country is a good way to start reducing the problem... but if people want something bad enough, they will seek alternatives.

After watching those videos, it's sad that it seems there is very little value on life in Russia.

Just for the sake of accuracy, if you have "skin falling off the bones", meaning skin was in contact with your bones in the first place, you have substantial medical issues before using this drug.

The two kids at the end were like zombies. Why don't they amputate the limbs where it is only bone between the stump and the extremity? The teen challenge place reminded me of the IHOP'ers.

According to the documentary it's the opposite. The Afghans flooded Russia with heroin because they could make a shit ton of money while also bringing down the people of the country that invaded them. Krokodil came about because people started not being able to afford heroin and this nasty shit could be created from everyday things that you can get from a pharmacy.

Also....it apparently only causes your skin to do that if you miss your vein and inject it into the muscle and skin.

buttmuch, I posted this already. :p

Yeah - the rotting flesh thing isn't a given.

You evidently have to misfire. All that said, my wife's a nurse practitioner and my sister's a doctor and neither one of them hit the vein every time.

So sooner or later, you're boned.
