So, if you think it might be fun to try designer drugs like Krokodil, you are actually taking a huge risk with your health and your life.

Where did Krokodil come from?

Krokodil is the street name for desomorphine and is an opioid derived from codeine. Opioids are highly addictive, similar to heroin, has an anesthetic effect and acts as a sedative. The problem with home manufactured Krokodil is that it may or may not contain dorsomorphine because it ingredients are unknown. Russians have manufactured Krokodil for more than 10 years. It is estimated, that more than 1 million people use the drug in Russia. It appeared to have been first developed when the Afghan opium crops only yielded half the amount they had previously in 2009. Leaving a shortage of opium for heroin production. So, people turned to codeine type medicines available over the counter to concoct their own version. An issue with this is the effect that other chemicals combined with the codeine used to make Krokodil is unknown. Often people think they are buying heroin but sold Krokodil instead.

How is Krokodil made?

Krokodil is manufactured in a similar way to homemade methamphetamines. Solvents like paint thinners, lighter fluid, hydrochloric acid, the red phosphorous from matches, iodine and gasoline are cooked together with the codeine. The danger with this is you never know where you are buying your drugs from or how they were manufactured. The Krokodil people buy may not have been cooked long enough to remove such toxic chemicals from the resulting end product.

Krokodil effects

Krokodil is up to 10 times stronger than morphine with its effects only lasting up to two hours. Because the high only lasts a short time, users find themselves in a spiral of continued repeat use. They keep using to avoid withdrawal symptoms similar to heroin withdrawal. This is because Krokodil is usually desomorphine, which is similar to heroin. Desomorphine has triple the toxicity and has 10 times more anesthetic effect than morphine.

Krokodil users are unlikely to sleep and suffer from sleep deprivation, speech problems and loss of memory. With the highly toxic, frequent use it puts users at high risk of overdosing on the drug.
