9. Krokodil – Flesh-Eating Drug
Given its name, many assume that the Krokodil makes a person insane. There not exactly wrong. The drug is very similar to heroine in terms of its side effects and its addictive qualities.
The reason that it’s called Krokodil is because of the way the user’s skin is dilapidated as though they’ve been hit by a flesh-eating virus. Derived from Codeine, this drug is extremely addictive and is injected through a needle just like heroine. A cheaper version of heroine, Krokodil is made from the mixture between Codeine and other things like hydrochloric acid, paint thinner and dye powder.
Originally created in Russia, this drug has been banned all over the world for its harmful and addictive qualities.
