Holy cow, this report on the drug “krokodil” has to be one the creepiest things I’ve every seen. I thought Russians had hit rock bottom when they were making vodka out of industrial disinfectant, but making poor man’s heroin out of codeine, iodine, red phosphorus and paint thinner? And of course it would start turning up in Phoenix, right? I hope someone is going to tell me this is a hoax.

It’s no hoax. Just have to be sure it’s really the same thing as in Russia.
