WILL COUNTY, IL (INTELLIHUB) — As we reported last month, a cheap heroin substitute that has ruined countless lives in Russia has now made its way to the US.  The first cases of flesh-eating infections from this drug turned up just weeks ago in Arizona, and since then cases have been beginning to pop up all over the country, even as far as Illinois._[1]
Not only is the drug highly addictive and dangerous, but it also causes many users flesh to rot off of their bodies.  The street name for the drug is “Krokodil‘, apparently because it causes users skin to resemble that of a crocodile.
Krokodil is a “Desomorphine”, opiate drug that is mixed with gasoline and other toxic home products.  The drug is 3 times cheaper than heroin but nearly 10 times as strong.
“As of late as last week, the first cases – a few people in Utah and Arizona – were reported to have been using the heroin-like drug, which rots the skin from the inside out,” said Dr. Abhin Singla, director of Addition Services at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center and medical director of The Promises of Recovery, a treatment facility. In the last 36 hours, Singla has begun treating at least three local area patients who have reported use of the drug and have presented with manifestation of krokodil, The Times Weekly Reported._[2]
“It is a horrific way to get sick. The smell of rotten flesh permeates the room. Intensive treatment and skin grafts are required, but they often are not enough to save limbs or lives,” he said.
He warned of increased use of krokodil saying that, “Will County’s already burgeoning heroin epidemic may have created a tolerance level to the point where users are now looking for cheaper and better highs.”
 As I have explained countless times in the past, these types of dangerous knock-off drugs are a direct result of prohibition.  If you have missed my previous drug war articles, I will summarize how prohibition makes drugs more dangerous.
In the black market one of the major drawbacks is that there is no accountability among the people selling the drug.  Since anyone can get kidnapped and thrown in a cage for even dealing with the stuff, it really doesn’t make sense for people to be plastering their names and logos all over the drugs. 
In this age of corporate mercantilism logos and branding may seem like a really tacky idea, but when looking at the black market we can see the value in such things.  Someone who is selling a product with their name on it, is going to go through far greater lengths to ensure the quality of their product, as opposed to someone who would remain anonymous.
This anonymity creates an incentive for people to be dishonest with what they sell.  This could lead to rip offs, or downright contamination of the drug with unwanted harmful substances.  This is why there was bathtub gin that would make you go blind if your drank it during alcohol prohibition.  This is also the reason why some of the harder street drugs today are cut with toxic chemicals that increase the chance of overdose ten fold.  The fact that the drugs need to be smuggled also creates the incentive to make drugs more potent, and thus in some circumstances more dangerous. 
The increased potency and decreased availability inevitably leads to a massive increase in cost.  The increased cost is a whole other issue with its own unique side effects in regards to drug safety.  When the price of the real drugs go up, people just start huffing paint thinner, smoking bath salts and cooking up crystal meth in their basements, which is then even many times more dangerous than the unbranded drugs on the black market.
