Crocodile contains the narcotics of Desomorphin, which causes a similar frenzy to heroin. However, it looks more like a “dirty relative” (“time”) of morphine, which has now spread rapidly, especially among Russian young people. Now the monster drug also finds its way to Europe. In the UK, the first victim is precisely died of the drastic consequences of crocodilein Germany the material was already secured by the police.
According to “Time”, between up to one million people in Russia take crocodile each year. It is used primarily because it is much cheaper to get on the market than comparable drugs. It can even be played easily.
The basis of crocodile is the painkillers codeine, which can also be found in numerous (recept -related) painkillers in Germany and cough custody. It is freely available in Russia. For this purpose, iodine are added, red phosphorus (known from matchboxes), hydrochloric acid, petrol and some dilution agents. Again and again it is claimed that the drug is “harmless” if the production is correct, only shows its toxic effect when it is mixed.
Skin becomes porous, meat falls slowly
But if you use crocodile, you have to expect that you are very likely to pace his life. Added arteries die, fight with meningitis and pneumonia. Blood poisoning due to the crocodile intake also often occurs.
The name Krokodil is a devilish program: at the needle stitch, the skin turns green, becomes scaly. The long -term effect on the wound position is fatal! The skin becomes porous, after a while even meat falls off until the bones can be seen. A withdrawal cure is a ordeal for patients. According to British doctors, it needs up to one month and is associated with very severe pain. These should be so strong that many addicts fall into faint during the cure.
Desomorphin is considered one of the most dependent drugs, but was used as a strong pain reliever in the 1930s. After numerous studies that confirmed how dependent it does, Desomorphin completely disappeared from the market – until it celebrated a comeback in Russia as a devil drug Krokodil.
In the past, heroine addict often switched to Desomorphin, but now there are also numerous addicts in Russia who start with crocodile. Every hope is often too late for them.
Drug dealers earn millions on the addiction
All of this becomes a real plague for the country, as there is nowhere more heroin addicts. Course dealers are said to have used crocodile as a stretcher to earn more money with “street heroin”. Heroin addicts are in the trap in Russia, because a repressive anti-drug policy ensures that hardly anyone can afford the fabric. There is also no prescription requirement for Kodein. For many, the switch to crocodile becomes a fatal lifeline.
