Don't Mess With Bath Salts!

I live in Maine. Bath salts have been all over the news here for the past year. I actually attended a lecture by a Sheriff's Deputy last week about bath salts, specifically so we could recognize it's effects in students. He was quite clear that the drug being most commonly used by people who have previous drug-related offenses or other circumstances that require them to be drug tested. Bath salts don't show up on the commonly used drug tests, I guess.
 
I saw a news video about it. Its called "Crocodil" or something like that

It's technically known as Desomorphine or "Krocodil". It's basically a cheap and badly made morphine substitute. Hence the toxins come from the drug itself rather than the needle, although dirty needles don't help, of course.

And yes, Necrotising fasciitis is common. Most users of "Krocodil" have a 2-3 year life span. That's much higher than the average junkie btw.

Here are the after affects. just cos it's on Youtube don't be fooled. THIS IS GRAPHIC. You have been warned......

In fact I won't post it here. I feel this is the wrong place to do so. If like me you are curious then search for "VERY EXPLICIT Man's rotten leg sawn off" on youtube.

Enough said...DON'T INJECT THINGS INTO YOURSELF!

It's amazing how the guy is just sitting there holding his leg while they cut through the bone. It's clearly not in a sterile medical environment - it looks like they're doing it in somebody's garage or something. There are worse videos of it than that, too. Don't look if you have a weak stomach.
 
Really?

Because I think the Zithromax I used during my last sinus infection DEFINITELY improved my life.
