Jdeschene,

I completely agree. There are times when you say the plot device is reasonable enough and accurately enough depicted for suspension of belief and you let it go.

The "Krokodil" part was a punch line at the end. There was no mention of IV use, just oral use. The whole skin rotting thing was never discussed. There was no specific mention of whether or not it was the Russian street crap or the pharmaceutical stuff but if the guy is putting it in candy he probably can't get away with the bad taste from iodine and matches in street Krokodil. I accepted Mr. Creepy choosing desomorphine because the LD50 of it is like a third of heroin due to the high risk of hypotension and respiratory depression.
