New drug: Krokodil

[DrArkon]

I read an article earlier today about a substitute drug heroin users in Russia are now cooking and using because it's cheap to make using codeine pills and using a similar recipe to cook meth. Desomorphine is about 8-10times stronger than morphine (according to wikipedia).

Thanks DrArkon, but we have already had a thread on this in the past and it's not Australia or Asia specific so as to warrant another one. You can probably find the old discussion here or in Drugs In The Media by using the search engine though.
