Krokodil, the terrible Russian street drug, has arrived in the U.S.

Wow, googling this stuff is definitely an eye opener.

Stuff like this is literally natural selection at work, only absolute idiots go this far.

We are losing the war on drugs, time to push the aggressive scare tactics again.

I'm all for legalization, but don't you think that people will still seek a higher high (like the drug in the OP) even if meth and other hard drugs are legalized? It'd be hard to legalize and control shit like this.
 
Why would someone even think of mixing those things together? It reads like a list of things that a villain would use during a torture scene in a movie.

Nobody ruins my family vacation but me...and maybe the boy!
I wish I didn't Google image search it.....

Not sure why anyone would take this drug. They must really hate themselves to take it voluntarily(or any drug for that matter, but this one especially).
 
Maybe I am mis-remembering but wasn't there a woman who dies from cathing a black widow spider, ground it down in a shots worth of Whiskey and injected it?

that's what this seems like.

FFS the name of the drug TELLS you how fucked you are.

"Yo, I got this new shit called Lymphoma! You get high as fuck but there is a problem"

But the war on drugs would surely prevent such a thing

I mean all that money and effort spent on fighting drugs in the US must have done something right?

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
But why the fuck would you put that in your body?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. Is there something in the Gasoline and Paint Thinner that somehow creates a better high?

The people that take this do so because they absolutely need a fix and cant find/afford their usual heroine. Lots know the consequences perfectly well.

Who thinks of putting oil, gas and paint thinner together for human consumption?

Just like dish washing detergent is used to make ecstasy..

Its bullshit, they'll look to find the most cut up product possible and report as if they're its main ingredients.

edit:

Obviously I'm not condoning its use but the amount of misinformation purposely fed to the public is pretty lame.

During Prohibition people were drinking horrible, toxic stuff because properly distilled liquor with legit ingredients (vs. turpentine and shoe polish or whatever) wasn't easily accessible.
 
It could get disguised as something else. :( I can see heroin users buying these as a mark up thinking they're getting heroin. :( But then again, I don't know how these are being marketed or sold as, so I could be off base here.

There is no way this could be confused with heroin if some of the ingredients are liquids.

My guess is that they are solvents like alcohol (yes the alcohol you drink to get drunk is also a powerful industrial solvent) and they can help get chemicals past the blood brain barrier to create an even more powerful high. This is just me guessing though.
