New drug appears in Russia, eats away at flesh of users; causes them to literally rot to death - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Xilo;30642517]well it depends on what they could afford, no one can predict the future, people on meth do it cause nothing they do will allow them to afford something safer like weed. and cigs are more expensive than any drug altogether. legal suicide[/QUOTE] Um, last I heard meth was just as expensive, if not more expensive, than marijuana is. A lot of drug addictions are down to personal preference over what kind of high you want. The majority of people from what I've seen will go after pot, some will go after something like heroine, others will go after something that's more self-destructive such as meth or alcohol.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;30641673]So, you guys still think [I]all[/I] drugs should be legalised?[/QUOTE] Who are YOU to tell someone they aren't free to do something. Even if its the freedom to destroy themselves. Hardcore drugs are for the weak. Let them purge themselves from the planet. We won't need any anti drug propaganda, their demise will speak for itself.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;30642647]Alcohol is not nearly as destructive as heroin[/QUOTE] That's probably true. I know a lot less about most drugs including heroine than I do pot, meth, and alcohol.

[QUOTE=Gareth;30642256]Codeine also seems waaay less harmful than this shit. When taking codeine pills you're more likely to OD on the paracetamol in the pills than the actual codeine. Even then this stuff seems fucked, theres a video on youtube of a guy who has no flesh left around his leg and it's just bone, yet the rest of his leg looks normal.[/QUOTE] METH looks less harmful than this. Sure you become a twitchy, creepy, mentally fucked up in the head imp, but you sure as hell aren't the living dead. [QUOTE=deathmog;30641033]If I got addicted to this shit, i'd seriously kill myself with a gunshot wound to the head, I'd rather die by that than with this shit.[/QUOTE] Words I'd agree with myself, but I'd rather just walk the hell away from this and never touch it again, and live.

THIS is the reason why heroin should be available from the pharmacies at a low price.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;30642647]Alcohol is not nearly as destructive as heroin[/QUOTE] found some stats from the CDC on alcohol. couldn't find nothing on heroin [LIST] [*]Number of alcoholic liver disease deaths: 14,406 [*]Number of alcohol-induced deaths, excluding accidents and homicides: 23,199 [/LIST] these are numbers from 2007.

Everyone says they could stop at any time they want, but when they actually get hooked, stopping is really hard. This isn't just mental addiction, it's real physical one. Can you stop breathing until you pass out?

It's just that it's much easier to get, especially in large quantities, thus easy to abuse.

[QUOTE=Kelju;30642738]THIS is the reason why heroin should be available from the pharmacies at a low price.[/QUOTE] You gave me an amazing joke idea. Damn, this stuff really costs an arm and a leg!

[QUOTE=johan_sm;30642835]You wouldn't be able to, you'd be in terrible pain and your mind would break and you'd get another hit.

This ain't as bad as Naked Blood (that movie).

[QUOTE=johan_sm;30642861]Deaths mean nothing, alcohol is not as destructive as heroin. It's just that it's much easier to get, especially in large quantities, thus easy to abuse.[/QUOTE] There's also the fact that alcohol is freely available to anyone over a certain age while except for specific situations where you're prescribed a drug, the other drugs are illegal.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;30642861]Deaths mean nothing, alcohol is not as destructive as heroin. It's just that it's much easier to get, especially in large quantities, thus easy to abuse.[/QUOTE] ah i see what you mean, but those are numbers not involving those affected by others doing it. acohol can be very destructive, just watch cops, and watch all the runaway DUIs, it goes from property damage to killing other people not involved in drinking at all.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;30641673]So, you guys still think [I]all[/I] drugs should be legalised?[/QUOTE] Absolutely. Instead of spending money on fighting their production and use, spend that money on offering rehabilitation.

what about the good ol days of just smoking pot and doing cocaine :smith:

In all seriousness, this proves how screwed up Russia is. [editline]22nd June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=toaster468;30642078]Where do I get this stuff, gon get fucked up.[/QUOTE] not funny, I suggest you stare at the picture on the op for a little while just to make sure you got that.

[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;30643199]what about the good ol days of just smoking pot and doing cocaine :smith:[/QUOTE] Yeah and meth

Jo on helvetin saatana. That's the single most disgusting picture i've ever seen. :aaa: Even my wrist hurts!

This is why drugs are a bad thing no matter how "harmless" people claim they are.

Can't wait to try this one!

[QUOTE=gman003-main;30642052]Story definitely seems suspicious. So I looked it up. The chemical in question does actually exist. It is, indeed, a morphine derivative, and it is, in fact, about eight times as powerful as morphine, and significantly more addictive. However, the chemical itself doesn't destroy. It was even used medicinally, as it is slightly [i]safer[/i] than morphine. Did some more looking, and found a much less sensationalist story: [url]http://en.rian.ru/russia/20100603/159292501.html[/url] Surprisingly, the whole "rotting flesh" thing is apparently accurate. However, it would be better to emphasize that it's the poor quality of preparation, not the drug itself, that causes the problems. If prepared using better methods, it would be much less devastating. Still highly addictive and probably still able to destroy lives, but nowhere near as quickly. It should also be said that the main reason the drug is popular is because codeine, the main ingredient, is widely available in Russia. Codeine itself is a rather addictive, and easily abused. Pure codeine is classed as Schedule II in the US, same as opium or cocaine, although medicines containing only minute traces are available over the counter. Most states, however, have instituted a limit - you can only purchase a small amount within a certain time period. Codeine is similarly restricted in most other countries - Canada, Britain, Denmark and Australia have similar limits. Some countries restrict it further - in Germany and Italy, it requires a prescription, and Greece bans it entirely. Russia has a simple solution - restrict codeine, and desomorphine use will drop off quickly as it becomes more difficult to make.[/QUOTE] Thank you! I was going to post something similar, how the article and the information is very dodgy, but I see you beat me to it. Even the picture looks extremely suspicious and fake (although I am pretty sure that is a fake picture, added for effect). Notice the lack of blood and vessels etc... Anything can rot your flesh away if you prepare it in a dirty environment (which is what these guys are doing) and stick it in your flesh/muscle/vein (which is what these guys are doing).

i've seen some other pictures of things that rot your flesh, and that pic isnt too far off of what it would look like, you'd bleed sure but only at the first time it ruptures from flesh vanishing around a artery but eventually that arty will close due to the substance, virus, etc. so i wouldn't discredit the pic entirely.

in soviet russia drug does you

:gonk: I couldn't even read half of it. That's terrifying.

Jesus christ that picture. You could have at least put it as a link, man :saddowns:

this drug problem can make russia fall apart more and more every dose. :smug:

Holy shit! Is the high really worth it?
