    I seen this on FB last week. Reminds me of a dodgy batch of heroin that was kicking around Glasgow in the 00's that literally ate people to death from the muscle outwards. I knew a guy who sold the gear,he gave his Mrs a bag of it,it ate her and she died leaving him with 3 young kids, then he got charged with dealing smack,jailed and lost his 3 kids aswell. He got out the jail a year or so later....then overdosed and died. Some folks just cant catch a break eh?:5eek:

    Opiates are a mother fucker to quit, I was a stone cold junky in the late 80's. I quit cold turkey one day when I lost everything I had,was living out of my car that the repo man was after and boosting cabbage patch dolls from Toys R Us to feed my habit, and never looked back. Only thing that was harder to quit than that shit was cigarettes. True statement.

    Agreed. I used to be knee deep in that scene myself and now im long gone from it.....and STILL i cant stop smoking. Im down to 10 a day which is big deal cos iv been a 20 a day smoker for a loooong time. I smoke a fag when i wake up then one after my breakfast. Iv tried everything:BangHead:

    The patches were what finally did it for me. That and sunflower seeds. I ate so many sunflower seeds over the first year that I got all plugged up (and I'm sure you know that dope plugs you up good too). The doctor said it was from the sunflower seeds. :rofl:

    we had a dude that worked for us, turn white and pass out on a jobsite, he got rushed to the hospital and 2 hrs later was in surgery for a blocked intestine.....why you ask?


    he was trying to quit smoking and ate sunflower seeds non stop, like 3 bags of DAVID brand seeds a DAY, the BIG bag too...he was only 26 at the time, meanwhile.....I saw him last month, eating seeds, AGAIN and smoking a cigg


    :rofl6: go figure huh

    Fuck the junk guys...had some serious serious health issues and was prescribed oxy's and then morphine because the oxys sucked.


    After about a month I quit and freaked the doctors out. They asked me if I still had pain and I told them "yeah, but this shit ain't getting me high anymore"....the looked confused and told me "you're not suppose to be getting high on them"...I laughed and said when you are taking 100 mgs twice a day (extended release) and about 200 mg more for break through pain ( every 4 hours) yea you get real fucking high.


    Since I was on them for so long the doctors actually made me keep taking them, then switched to loratab then to vicodin...took like a month to stop taking anything. They said the withdrawal would have wrecked me specially cause I was so weak from surgery.


    Anyways long story short, that shit is bad news. Know your limits. Thankfully I had a family to support me even though the Drs would have continued to give me that shit.


    Was never a junkie, but I know my body was getting addicted because I knew when it was time to take meds without a clock and cause they didn't give me the same feel.


    Anyways....SUPER FUCK that shit hank posted....WHY THE FUCK would anyone do that drug!!!!!!


    Oh yea, stopped smoking for a couple years, picked them back up and now can't stop :(

    The thing I was getting at was like with all these NEW fucked up drugs we are seeing these days - and it's getting worse all the time it seems - like this krocodil shit, bath salts, that fake herb shit, not to mention meth and pharmaceuticals, it must be making pot legalization an easier sell.


    To any sensible non-pot smoker, pot must be looking more and more like taking an aspirin or doing a couple shots compared to the zombifying, rot you from the inside kind of crazy garbage people are trying these days. Seriously, wtf is with some of this shit and some of these people?


    :bduh::icon_confused::icon_confused:

    Mind boggling. People obviously know side effects of Krokidil but, choose to give it a whirl anyway?


    Shit. Even dope seems like rainbows and ponies in comparison.

    Legal Highs blow my mind. I see more and more people addicted to this shit and having breakdowns due to it. Only yesterday in the newspaper theres a woman turning of her sons life support after he had swelli ng on the brain and other shit due to smoking LEGAL SYNTHETIC WEED!!!! So while the big bad cannabis is ILLEGAL kids are free to go buy this fake shit that KILLS. Its fucked up that weed is illegal but fake weed that kills you is fine:sad4:

    I saw a documentary on Krokodil a while ago. Brutal stuff. Been big in Russia for at least a few years now and just tearing up some of their slums. I saved the video so I can rewatch it every so often. Has some interesting stuff in it about the rehab programs in Russia too.

    Hank I couldn't agree more. It is the DUMBEST thing.


    Long live cannabis! :growin:


    I haven't had a cigarette since May 2013. I found out a close friend has cancer, and that was enough for me. I don't want to smoke cigarettes. I do love nicotine, and so have replaced the smoking with gum, patches, snuff and a pipe. Now after 6 months I'm just down to the pipe, which I do not inhale. I still get a nic shot, just greatly reduced and not into the lungs. I've been gradually reducing the amount of nicotine I get. Now a few puffs on my Peterson and the room's spinning.


    Synthetic drugs are crazy. :danger:
