3. Krokodil
Krokodil is a super dangerous street drug that is derived from morphine and has powerful sedative and pain-relief properties. Originally developed by scientists in Switzerland, it found its way to the black market due to it offering users a cheaper alternative to using heroin – as it can be made easily at home with over-the-counter ingredients. The thing with Krokodil is that it quite literally eats human flesh when injected by causing skin infections, necrosis, ulcerations and ultimately gangrene. While its effect on the skin will kill users within years, the potential of blood poisoning and heart failure can be fatal within minutes.
