around 8-10 times more potent than morphine
Leave it to the Russians to come up with a devastatingly EFFECTIVE response to drug abuse.
They are, the “honey badgers” of humanity.
Scary stuff
Very short serum half-life
Major addictive
Often injected unpurified
Here’s the wikipedia article on the stuff:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desomorphine
It looks like to be the meth of the opiate world. In that it’s something that can be cooked up in small labs, and involves a slew of dangerous chemicals that are as potentially deadly (or even more so) than the primary drug itself.
Nasty stuff.
And a pinch of Sterno.
I’m just wondering about the flesh-rotting stuff. Will JHP still work on these guys?
THE NEW CRYSTAL METH: CHEAP ALTERNATIVE TO HEROIN GRIPS RUSSIA
Krokodil’s medical name is desomorphine and it is created by mixing codeine with gasoline, paint thinner, hydrochloric acid, iodine and red phosphorous.
There are millions of users in Russia and the epidemic began in Siberia and the Russian Far East.
The drug causes flesh to rot from the inside out and the addict’s skin becomes scaly, like a crocodile’s, hence the name.
Blood vessels burst and the surrounding tissue dies. Gangrene and amputations are a common result and sometimes bone can be exposed.
The high lasts for about an hour-and-a-half and the drug can be up to 10 times cheaper than heroin.

Sounds like a whole lot of fun, can't wait til my local supermarket carries it.
Mass manufacture the stuff and give it away for free
Maybe someone here on FR can enlighten me, but I was the under the impression that codeine is a Schedule II narcotic; where are the getting the codeine from in order to make this?
Sure, here in the Czech Republic, I can get codeine over-the-counter no problem; I can go to any drugstore and buy it no questions asked. But in the US I didn’t think that was possible.
And suddenly, the concept of a zombie apocalypse is entirely plausible.
Holy crap this world is screwed.

Gasoline and PAINT THINNER ?
I cant think of a more explosive bunch of stuff to “cook” on stove...
Call me callous (I am), but I have zero sympathy for anyone dumb enough to inject themselves with poison. I know that as a young man I never would have done anything so stupid.
Think of it as a form of Darwinism that is acting as a cleansing tool to rid society of these unthinking beings, hopefully before they reproduce.
In that one of the primary hazards of impurities in the drug is gangrene caused by tissue necrosis at the injection site.
On the plus side, the human nose is attuned to gangrene like few other odors, and once you smell it, you never forget the smell. This means that diagnosis is usually very easy.
Just another of nature’s way to thin the gene pool. I just hope treating these morons on our dime doesn’t break us.
That said, if it did, it would be part and parcel of obozo’s plan to destroy America.
Here’s one with graphics. Most of the graphic ones are being censored at YouTube (login only), leaving videos of the drug promoters and yakking idiots more available.
Drug in Russia called “crocodile”

From the volatile mixture, sounds like:
From Russia with Candescence
On the plus side all these homemade drugs should reduce the impact of the “war on drugs”. I’m not making light of the impact of these drugs but without various cartels, and gangs to fight the drug warriors can leave the rest of us alone.
