Krokodil

While in a worthless thread that's been (thankfully) deleted, we managed to make it even somewhat relevant by talking about this scary stuff, which I had not heard of before (thank you to Hermit for bringing it up):

Holy crap!

Scary, scary stuff.

Out of morbid curiosity, I looked us some images of the physical effects mentioned in the article...oof. Not for the faint of heart.

Not to make light, but did it really say that there's a poster of Dr. House in the drug rehab clinic? Either a lack of comprehension, or a profound taste for irony in that...

That is terrifying. I thought about looking up images as well but the description is the stuff of nightmares. I opted out.

This is pretty horrific stuff, how can people do this to themselves?

Addiction is a terrible affliction.
