The Zombie Drug: As a doctor said, ' A person becomes a zombie with their body rotting. The rancid smell of which is detected a few steps away '. It is said to kill you from the inside out and erode the tissues of the brain and other vital organs.It is said to be the most harmful drug to ever be witnessed and if you are an addict, you are expected to live for only about a year!

The liquid that is made (the drug) is injected into your veins (which means you can get infections and skin ulcers from re-using needles and exposing them to bacteria), and if the drug misses your vein, and hits the flesh, it develops bumps and rots your skin. After this drug is injected, you are caused to have unbearable pain in your body!

Krokodil, also known as Desomorphine, is a highly addictive and harmful drug that contains unusual ingredients such as codeine(headache medicine), gasoline, hydrochloric acid, paint thinner, iodine, and many other harmful acids. This drug is made at home and take about 45 minutes to make.

Krokodil was found and started in 2002, in Siberia, Russia. Its been spreading around the world ever since. Though it isn't very popular nowadays, but it was popular a few years ago.About 65 million doses of this drug were used from 2009 to 2011. A few months ago, this drug was caught being used and sold on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Yeah, exactly, that's right near here!

You all are probably wondering, why is this drug called Krokodil? Well, that is because this drug causes an addicts skin to become disgustingly green, scaly, and bumpy like a Crocodile! It is also because this drug is dangerously deadly and kills you horribly!
