Krokodil
The world’s most horrifying drug can be found right outside your door. This drug is known as Krokodil and its being dispersed around the world. It originated in Russia several years ago. Nobody knows exactly how long it’s been in the U S, but some people believe it has been for over a year. The side effects are so shocking that after use of this drug just one time your life will never be the same. There is no guarantee that you will even recover. In the end you will die.
The name Krokodil is used because it turns your skin scaly green like a crocodile’s. It all started back in 2010 when several people were rushed to the hospital for an unknown reason. For some people it had already been too late. Everybody reacts differently, and for some people it killed them within an hour. In 2011 more than 100,000 deaths were reported because of usage of this drug. Doctors had no idea what was causing these deaths until the autopsy report came back. Krokodil is said to be the World’s Most Horrendous Drug.
Haven’t you heard the saying “desperate times call for desperate measure?” Well, that is definitely the case for most people using this drug. Any drug addict who is desperate enough will take anything without thinking about the consequences. A large portion of users have no idea what they’re taking. It’s being sold as heroin and it costs three times less.
The ingredients used to make this drug consist of: Codeine, Iodine, gasoline and paint thinner. Everyone has access to all the elements needed to produce this drug. My cousin, who has always been a drug addict, had no idea that what he was injecting into his veins would change his life forever. Like most others, he thought it was heroin. He’s had eight surgeries within his two months of being in the hospital. Both of his legs had to be amputated after the doctor’s realized there was nothing more they could do. The poisonous chemicals had eaten away his flesh. He’s considered lucky compared to others. It
