The first time I heard of this from Russia, I thought it was pretty extreme, even for Russia.

It's beyond me why anyone would mess with a drug like that.

Vice went to Russia to shoot this a few years back. Scary shit.

God Damn. Theres a lot of bad shit in that.

Who is the maniac that invented this? It seems unreal.

Something isn't making sense here. The drug, when used in a "normal" way, causes your flesh to rot off? And people still use it?

It's not if you don't use it 'correctly' or mix it correctly or something like that? Just the normal side effect is your skin falls off? Seems like users might seek out something a little less horrible.

Addiction + desperation + apathy.

Google "Krokodil Tears".

I read in the other thread that the users don't last long. The images of users look so bad it's almost hard to believe they're real.

People are dumb.

Yeah. Says if you shoot it 1 time you'll die within 2 years.

Horrid

I guess I finally have my scientific proof for a zombie apocalypse.

Scary chit

If people are THAT stupid and weak and junkies and want to shoot this shit and die, let them.

We need more strong and smart people in this country, not a bunch of weak and sick wussies that is lowering the collective IQ and success in this country.

Yeah the danger is in unsuspecting kids getting ahold of it...

****in slavs

I don't think some little kid is going to skip his milk and cookies to shoot this. I think you are making these "young kids" out to be so naive. The kids today are not. They know what they are doing, they just think they are invincible.

I have a teenage boy and am well aware of what goes on. I don't even like this shit existing, let alone popping up in the city where I live.

Almost have all the ingredients. Wish me luck

Just need the Skittles?

So you're saying someday they could be good customers?

:hmmm:

No I'm saying I have a concern for all children, even those that don't have the advantages mine do.

Don't forget the tea

Thanks for not posting the pics of the users. I've seen what this stuff does and it's nasty!!!

Agree.. It makes you puke looking at the pictures...

Based on this post, I'm going to suggest some Krokodil for you.

Minor error. Can he just sort it?

Russia: Come for the depressingly long, soul crushing winters; stay for the flesh eating injections!

Ugh, this is sickening.

I'm hoping you meant snort.

And, yes. He may.

I'm sure when you're developmentally challenged, living on the street, and getting turned out sexually, you're all like 'wats dis stuf goin do to mah skin?'

These guys just need some Lubriderm. Does wonders.

Auto correct :mad:

No biggie. We've all been at the point where we've had to add 'snort' to our phone dictionary.

No biggie. Right?

Why don't they save the trouble & just drink a gallon of anti-freeze?

Now that you put it that way, I'm glad that's not in my dictionary :)

Natural selection at work here.

What ever happened to good ol' fashioned heroin?

Snorting a little brown in the witch craft shop.

So why would someone use this?

They start with oxy and it gets out of hand. It gets too expensive to support their addiction. So they move to heroin, since it is cheaper, and they get pulled further into their addiction. Once they can't fund their heroin habit any longer, this becomes the alternative and by that time they will do anything to get their fix. At that point ratio al thinking doesn't enter into the picture. No one is going to try this that isn't already strung out on heroin or some other major opiate addiction.

My god you two are ignorant.


The short documentary called Krokodil Tears shows how poverty in Russia, the huge import of heroin from Kazakhstan and Afghanistan and a number of other factors cause all these drug problems in Russia. Watch it and educate yourselves.

Better people are on this than meth. At least they will only be a scourge on society for a couple of years.

Try using Arizona brand Watermelon fruit punch. You can make some fire ass lean with that.

Whatever. **** them.

:spock: I'm really not sure if you're just trolling or not.

I really hope you are.

When I was a kid, they showed us pictures of what meth can do, and I was like...why the **** would anyone want to do that? What high is worth THAT? But, people use it anyway. It's a sad statement on the state of mind of a person to feel that they have to use this shit anyway, regardless of the consequences. Just friggin' horrible.

I can't imagine what would lead to that.

I don't know if things have changed since the old "Just say no" days. But they never really educated us on what each drug is, what it does, and what side effects it may have had. It's just a general blanket statement and really what kid just does what they are told to do because well someone said so? So naturally being curious I experimented with stuff and learned things on my own. I don't know if I would NOT experimentated otherwise, but I think some more specific education MIGHT help rather than just saying don't do "drugs" when "drugs" can be and do so many different things.

Of course the internet in now available if you have those questions I suppose.

This.

I got the usual blanket statement of just say no....my entire way through school. The first time I smoked pot....I thought they had no clue what the **** they were talking about. That shit branched out into other drugs that I tried. Luckily I never got any of the "harmful side effects" that they talked about....but eventually I came to the realization that I wasn't going to go anywhere in life doing what I was doing.

Yeah, in some sense, pot was a gateway drug for me. I'd been told all these ridiculous falsehoods and exaggerations about marijuana as a child growing up in the "Just Say No" decade. When I started investigating on my own, I found out a lot of that stuff was bullshit. It then led to me doubting what I'd been told about other drugs as well (some of which was actually legitimate).

There's also the idea of being the exception. Sure, you see that happen with some people, but those are probably worse case scenarios.. no one ever thinks it's going to happen to them.

Pot was definitely a gateway drug for me. I ended up trying a TON of drugs from the ages of 14-21.

I'm not and you aren't gonna change my mind about it either.

I thought Broncos fans wished all the children of the world dead. That's what CP led me to believe anyway.

send me that documentary when you're done w/it, bro.
sec

Watch the short documentary when you have a moment and tell me you don't feel any sympathy for them.

Obviously, some people abuse drugs for no good reason, but many are drawn into that kind of life.

Like someone earlier said, just Google Krokodil Tears. Click on the result from vine.com.

Dude, I grew up in the culture. There are few things about drug use and abuse that are goin to be an epiphany in my world.

LMAO

I'm interested to know what kind of high it gives you. Is it supposed to be similar to heroin?

Supposedly yes. I've heard it's stronger than heroin.

Fair enough.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful here, and I don't know anything about what you grew up around, but the particular city visited in that documentary looks like, and in many ways is a 3rd world environment. Very tough situations for those people.

I'm not saying you have to watch it or anything, but if you did, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

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.

They made their own choices.

If someone wants to flush their life down the shitter, they may go right ahead.

Wow, just wow. I guess it was only a matter of time before some low life POS invented a super cheap injectable drug so vile, so horrific that the users don't even care if they shoot it with an aids infected syringe. It's literally DOOON'T CAAARE!

And Arizona was all smug about not having any meth labs.

I could give a shit how poor I am.

Never would I shoot this shit up. You gotta be a ****in reerun.

You obviously have never known a drug addict or been in that situation yourself. It has everything to do with how poor they are.
