3. Krokodil

This drug is chemically known as Desomorphine, which is technically a compound derived from morphine that has fast acting and very powerful opioid effects. In the streets, people get this drug cheaply as a codeine derivative mixed with oil, gasoline, paint thinner or alcohol. Abusers of this drug usually inject it directly into their blood stream with a needle, and the mixture can result into the user requiring limb amputation owing to the damage to his or her blood vessels, skin, muscles, and bones. This drug’s name “Krokodil” comes from the flesh eating qualities and tissue damage it causes, leading to the formation of dark scaly blotches and dead or decaying skin that has the appearance of that of a crocodile’s skin.
