There's a video on youtube of a guy holding his leg up to get amputated like it aint no thing.
They cut through the flesh with a wire (it's that rotten) and the bone separates easily too. Presumably no anesthetic needed.

(the nerves are long dead, that's why it doesn't hurt)

[neuro]

hasn't this been posted before?

also yey, krokodil!

I can masturbate to this.

This. And the massive amounts of blood that should be vacating her body.

[leorimolo]

This. And the massive amounts of blood that should be vacating her body.
Its real... Its a homemade drug, they cook it themselves.

[Hotrod]

What...why...the fuck? What? I fail to understand why somebody would go and stick that shit in their body... Like warlord said, once they realize "Oh hey, my fucking flesh is fucking falling off", wouldn't they have the remote intelligence to maybe STOP? Holy shit...

[Amit]

Retards.

[Kornman00]

If her arm has no blood pumping to her, how is she holding it up? Plus, what's left of the skin on her hand still looks like it's getting oxygen so...wat

Yep, zombie apocalypse in Dec 2012, no doubt

[Amit]

HOAX!

Whoops, did I just say that out loud? :hay:

Do you understand what heroin withdrawal does to a person? Krokodil is a heroin substitute that's 4x as potent. They take it because it's so much cheaper to make. The high lasts 1.5 hours and it takes 1 hour to cook so it's basically a full time job being a krokodil addict.

Go look up gangrene if you guys don't believe it.

No, I don't, nor do I really understand the mindset of a heroin addict. It just seems logical from my point of view (somebody who's never really been around drugs) that if it starts doing shit like that to your body then you'd want to go get help. I have no doubts in my mind that it's hard to withdraw from drugs though, but come on... I dunno, in the end it's just one of those things that some people understand that I don't.

hth

Don't have a reference but I'm pretty sure when people voluntarily go into withdrawal (read: rehab) they get put into a coma to ride out the symptoms, they're that severe.

I never knew it was that bad... And if this Krokodile is 4x stronger than heroine, then it's probably harder to get over it, yes? Now it makes sense. Thanks for the info too.

Yeah seriously, you'd think anyone with a brain would realize that being able to clearly see their bones with absolutely nothing around them would be bad.

Best treatment for these people: Kill it with fire.

doesnt understand addictions :buddy:

[Cortexian]

I understand addictions perfectly, but this is much beyond your average addiction.

I'm 100% serious though. If this is real, and people are addicted so badly to something that they put their bodies through this, then they should be put down. They're killing themselves anyway, might as well speed up the process and get rid of whatever burdens they're holding on society!!

Do you know what Heroin does to your body?
This stuff is nearly ten times as potent.

[DarkHalo003]

Society is a piece of shit. It's nothing but a bunch of false-faced people trying to coax other false-faced people. You find these people help if you can, not abandon them because society deems them guilty as sin.

[TVTyrant]

Well, what else can you fucking do? These people are literally destroying themselves, both addiction wise and bodily. I'm not saying go out and shoot people, but it's obviously beyond help.

[sleepy1212]

tis only a flesh wound

because the people that start using it are already addicted to heroin.

then you factor that this is a short high, that takes nearly as long to cook as the high you get, it's cheap AND they come down INSTANTLY with withdrawals after it and you've got a fucking hell of a dangerous drug.

i understand how these people got stuck with this drug, it still doesn't excuse the fact that they started in the first place.

Considering the base legal drug they use to create krokodil in the first place is easily accessible it would be a wise move to you know, make it not as easy to obtain.
Hell it's a prescription only drug over here for a very good reason.

[Cortexian]

Same here, but more importantly I don't understand how THE MEATY BITS COMING OFF YOUR ARM ISN'T ENOUGH MOTIVATION TO STOP!!

[DarkHalo003]

I don't understand why there isn't more blood.

[=sw=warlord]

I don't understand why there isn't more blood.
The wounds aren't made instantly.
You can have sores which develop into parts of your flesh being missing and not have any blood loss.
May want to look into spider bites, some spider bites can result into massive holes in your flesh from the venom causing necrosis.

One of those news reports said that that's what they're doing. But as far as treatment for users, good fucking luck with that.

[Kornman00]

The drug is self treating: death.

[Pooky]

What the unholy unliving FUCK.

There's no excuse, no possible justification for someone doing this to themselves and anyone caught doing it should be summarily executed ON SIGHT.

I would shoot anyone I caught doing this. What the fuck.

You can either take the drug and die slowly while getting your high or stop taking it and die of withdrawal in agony within 24 hours. :downs:

They're already heroin addicts though. Heroin is insanely expensive there and junkies are junkies.
Unless you mean don't get hooked on heroin in the first place, then yeah but idiots are always idiots.

killing is not a good thing and drug users are often exploited, yes they are to blame for not having the moral courage to say no but once they say yes that first time it's a slippery slope which is very hard to get off of.

since people in here seem to be having trouble working out why anyone would do this, let me provide some background. i'm not real well-versed on what's going on in russia currently, but hey.

basically, when the soviet union collapsed, russia got totally fucked. like completely. right through the 90s they had practically nothing of anything, their military went from one of the strongest (if not the strongest) in the world to a joke practically overnight. everything fell into disrepair, everyone had to really struggle to get by, imagine it as the great depression except not. during this time, and partly thanks to the government having shit all money to fund law enforcement, the mafia and other forms of organised crime made a motherfucking shitload of cash, as did anyone who took bribes from them (and a lot of government officials did). certain people with a good business sense also began to make their fortunes, usually in legally ambiguous ways, and so you had a few very, very rich men in a very, very poor country. things slowly began to improve and while they're a lot better now, russia is still a clusterfuck of a country and corruption is still a problem. the rich rule from their ivory towers, untouchable by law until they piss off the wrong person in government. the average person is still doing pretty poorly compared to western counterparts - i watched a documentary on one of their typhoon missile subs (biggest in the world, pride of the navy) and the commander, right after being named the best captain in the fleet and awarded and all that, went back to a 60s-era legoland apartment complex, half of the doors boarded up and lights not working, only to be thrown out of his shoebox apartment by his wife. for our us posters, think of the stereotypical projects, that's basically it. for uk posters, nelson mandela house from only fools and horses. russian men have a terribly low life expectancy, an alarmingly high suicide rate, and are extremely prone to turning to alcoholism and/or drugs to try and escape their shitty lives. is this an excuse? no, hardly. it does explain though how it happens. not everyone has the courage to turn down a quick high and shut out reality for a while, and once they're hooked their dealers, just like western dealers, will give them shittier and shittier product that is cut with all kinds of ungodly shit. a few of them may be feeling brave, or they're not getting the high they once were, so they try something stronger. what's this? krokodil? sounds pretty rad. that nasty shit is bad but it won't happen to me.

it does, and it becomes a case of "well fuck, i'm ruined now, may as well keep on it to try ride it out until i die because living is not going to be worth it now".

i can fucking guarantee you that if america was in the position of russia, the exact same shit would happen.

[Bodzilla]

of course they would be.

[DarkHalo003]

When shit hits the fan, people try to escape. That's what these poor individuals are doing here. Sad to see this happen. I really think some of these are fake though (some, not all though).

[Pooky]

Just going to add that I don't think it's only happening because Russians are dumb or anything stupid like that. I'm sure it could happen anywhere else.

[rossmum]

they're not, believe me

also, get this: i've seen worse. fuck, do drugs if you really want, but spare some fucking thought for the consequences when you do. and don't touch this stuff now or ever.
