Mexican Teen Reportedly Injects Krokodil Into Genitals
    #19249513 - 12/09/13 10:51 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Public authorities in Mexico shared details of a gruesome case of the flesh-eating drug krokodil, the first to be officially reported in the state of Jalisco.

According to José Sotero Ruiz Hernández, an official with Mexico's National Institute of Migration, a 17-year-old girl in Puerto Vallarta presented lacerations to her genitals that she said were caused by her addiction to krokodil.

"The young woman who used this drug had an infection that had rotted her genitals. It wasn't sexually transmitted. She said she'd been using krokodil for the last two months," Hernandez said, according to a Huffington Post translation of Mexican newspaper El Periodico Correo.

The woman told authorities that the drug was readily available on street corners. Hernandez added that the drug has also been reported in Mexico City.

Krokodil is a street drug with effects similar to heroin that is made by cooking crushed codeine pills with household chemicals. It is significantly cheaper than heroin, and reportedly ten times as potent. However, the impurities in the drug damage vascular tissue, which causes the flesh to rot.

Although it has been reported frequently since September, there have been no confirmed cases of krokodil in the United States since 2004. Skeptics maintain that cases where intravenous drug users presented scaly sores or rotting flesh associated with krokodil could have been caused from infections contracted as a result of using dirty needles.

Krokodil was first produced in Russia, where a scarcity of heroin and an abundance of over-the-counter codeine fueled a pandemic that peaked in 2011, when approximately 1 million people were addicted to it. Legislation restricting the sale of codeine has reportedly caused a decline in use in Russia since then, but krokodil remains a serious concern.

And here I was under the impression the Mexico was at least a half-step above Russia as being the bunghole of the world. I guess not.

I don't believe this at all.  People can say whatever the fuck they want to.  Codeine isn't OTC in Mexico and while pharmacies might sell you them, I would imagine they would be more expensive than heroin.

This may be a bit conspiracy theorist to say, but I can't help but wonder if the US government hasn't somehow gone out of their way to find a highly addictive and damaging drug to push in order to generate pro drug war sentiment since the support for cannabis legalization is growing. It's a long shot, yes, but they've done it before. Remember when the CIA was bringing in coke from South America to be based up and slung on the streets to pay for arming Iran? Remember when smack was being brought back in body bags in an effort to stop people using LSD and freeing their minds? It's possible.

The CIA sold drugs to make money, not to stop LSD.  I think the CIA might have been spreading LSD to pacify the anti-war movement to be honest.

Q F Possibility! :tinfoil:

One things for sure... they can't *mind* the fact that this is going on, in relation to their drug war objectives anyway.
