Desomorphine (Krokodil)



Desomorphine is a designer drug that has became popular in Russia.  However I find this one very interesting because of the intense damage it inflicts on a users body.
If you want to see for yourself Google in images "krokodil user" and you will find a plethora of very graphic images.  The drug is based on codeine and is as all illicit drugs something to keep on the public health radar.
