Seems like that problem will work itself out

^^^^THIS^^^^

"In Tver, most krokodil users inject the drug only when they run out of money for heroin. As soon as they earn or steal enough, they go back to heroin. In other more isolated regions of Russia, where heroin is more expensive and people are poorer, the problem is worse. People become full-time krokodil addicts, giving them a life expectancy of less than a year.

Zhenya says every single addict he knows in his town has moved from heroin to krokodil, because it's cheaper and easier to get hold of. "You can feel how disgusting it is when you're doing it," he recalls. "You're dreaming of heroin, of something that feels clean and not like poison. But you can't afford it, so you keep doing the krokodil. Until you die."

Wow... those pics are something else. Yes, of course I looked. I remember buying Tylenol #3s over in Ireland over the counter when I lived over there. I was sure glad it was available. I'm guessing it won't be for much longer. Damn.

"Homemade Heroin" of some form or another has been around for years, either as illustrated with home cooked Desomorphine, or America's fav- crush (to disrupt the time release properties) and snort, or smoke extended release Oxycodone. It's a twisted version of the DIT spirit with a sprinkle of Darwinian tragedy. There's MUCH stronger synthetic opiates out there, but the Desomorphine is apparently easy to make with available ingredients.

As the American medical industry slowly begins to awaken to the reality of rampant opiate overprescribing and begins to cut back, it'll force many addicts to find alternate means to get their opiates. Just wait until a couple of jailhouse geniuses teach their cellies to make bathtub heroin, then watch for it to spread across the US.

Probably already on the 'net.
