Graphic effects of NEW DRUG! Krokodil rots flesh off bones! aka crocodile ! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yfd_7jrnMk#)
Przerażające skutki narkotyku "Krokodyl" - Ręka (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOWLKSi6mPQ#)
Don't do street drugs kids; get yourself some of that clean prescription shit. Also, don't grow up in some depressing post-Soviet shit-hole with little education and no prospects, where every day is a grind of misery and crushing poverty and where you reach your psychological breaking point and give into the need for something to take the pain away for a couple of hours.

Yuck, another DIY hard drug.
It's said to be relatively easy to make yourself, with over the counter stuff.
-
Literal zombies. Nice. :zoinks:
-
:vibrator:
But on a more serious note, why would anyone do that knowing what it would do? :orly: They're fucking crazy, must hurt so bad. Wonder how they manage to put clothes on over those limbs without something ripping off.
-
That is gruesome.

Maybe they think they will not mess up with the needle.
That rotting of flesh happens when the needle does not hit a vein.
If the stuff would go where it is 'supposed' to be, the skin is said to get kinda green and flaky, like a crocodile. Hence the name.
Maybe some think that would be a cool effect? :yarly:

Apparently, withdrawal begins about two hours after the last dose and lasts up to a month, so it would be difficult to stop once the person starts and it's much cheaper than heroin.
The problem is the impurities derived from making the drug in a kitchen, not the drug itself.

Strange. It looks like you're still doing them, judging by the way you act. :orly:

Krokodil is a short-acting (a couple of hours) opiate, based on desomorphine-D. The russkis use a process starting from codeine, which is OTC there (and here in the UK), forming a mixure of chlorocodides using thionyl chloride from batteries, the intended product here is alpha-chlorocodide, although reaction of codeine with thionyl SOCl2 produces a number of other compounds, such as beta-chlorocodide (around 10-15% of the yield) and iso- and dihydrocodeines, depending on the solvent used for the reaction.
The problem is in the reduction. They use a method very similar to the one used in the US for making meth, I.e red phosphorus/iodine reduction, which forms hydriodic acid in situ, which is the active reducing species, being 'recycled' by formation of phosphorus halides, the triiodide IIRC which halogenates the hydroxyl groups of the codides, codeine and other 'stuff' in the pot, the halides formed being reduced by the HI.
Thats the most likely reaction pathway, if its similar to the reaction of (pseudo)ephedrine in a HI/RP reduction, the -OH group of (pseudo)ephedrine being halogenated by phosphorus triiodide formed in situ from the HI and red phosphorus, reduced by H, regenerating HI and red P, starting the cycle all over again.
This reduction method forms all sorts of byproducts, and the russkis apparently often do not even bother to clean the product up short of filtering it, if they even do that. Its no wonder, if they are shooting up a slurry of phosphorus, iodine, HI that it rots flesh. Jesus, you would have to be pretty stupid to expect anything else.
Been contemplating giving a similar process a shot actually, aimed at desomorphine as the end product, although I'd also bioassay the intermediate chloro-codides, as to the best of my knowledge they possess opioid agonist activity. This process can be done without forming a toxic swamp, if a clean reduction process, such as using catalytic hydrogenation with platinum or palladium on finely divided carbon.
And of course, I am neither an addict, nor living in a russian slum.

...yes, right. of course. Thanks for reminding us, Lestat.

As long as those pics don't tempt you to use krokodil, there is nothing wrong with those images not doing anything for you. :M

I've gotten desensitized myself, I was mildly surprised by the images but not upset.
Do you watch a lot of House or CSI or stuff like that, with some gore in it? :nerd!:

my idea of a good movie is one with a whole lot of gore in it... house is not gory by my standards [the exception being the episode where he performs surgery on himself]

Seriously, Callaway, why did you post that picture?
-
I thought it interesting and informative.

Seriously, Callaway, why did you post that picture?
I agree that it is gruesome but it is also fascinating to me that someone could be so addicted to something that they would continue to use it when their arm or leg even remotely approached looking anything like that. My picture is tame compared to the image in Peter's first YouTube, but maybe if you didn't click it you wouldn't realize that you are seeing a tibia and a fibula of a guy's lower leg with the flesh hanging away.

I use Firefox with the flashblock extension, so I just see this until I click on a video (or flash ad or whatever) to unblock it:

http://www.vice.com/news (http://www.vice.com/news) vice news has a good documentary about krokodil
also check out their docu about the colombian drug "devils breath", they blow this powder into the face of random passer by's, turning them into mindless slaves, making them help you rob them, carry their own tv out, and eventually end up a potential overdose death
terrifying stuff
otherwise, vice has a lot of good docus, especially concerning foreign events.
