What do I want? that same reputation to make an appearence in a story. I don't want a kid dying from a synthetic morphine overdose when I read about Krokodil, I want a kid losing a limb, gruesomely, before overdosing on that drug. Did you ever watch Requiem for a Dream? It is a shocking film not because of weird filming style but because it details what drug addiction does to your life from various perspectives.

We all know overdosing might kill you, that isn't the scary part to a casual audience, the scary part is how... and in Krokodil's case, the overdose possibility is the least scary affect on one's body.

I am not really worried, I just keep getting quoted :O I think we're viewing the story fundamentally differently. For me, what was scary about it was the ease with which the drug was acquired. There was a man at a carnival knowingly selling a toxic substance to children. That's what freaks me out about this story. Everything else is kind of secondary.
