This new video explains what the top 10 most deadly street drugs are and how they tear apart your body over time. The list includes the likes of bath salts, Whoonga, AH-7921, crystal meth, and purple drank.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Krokodil takes the award for the No. 1 most dangerous street drug. Known as the "flesh-eating drug," Krokodil is widespread in poor regions of Russia, where addicts inject the deadly dose of opioids, codeine, and gasoline into their bodies. It's a third of the price of heroin, which makes it appealing to addicts with low funds. The drug is named "Krokodil" due to its tendency to rot the skin from the inside out, making it scaly like a crocodile's.
Whoonga, which has risen in use in South Africa in the past several years, is listed as the second most dangerous street drug — and bath salts are third. According to a 2013 report, bath salts led to over 22,000 emergency room visits in the U.S. in 2011. They've been shown to cause a variety of health problems like high blood pressure, suicidal thoughts, and psychosis.
Other drugs on the list include heroin and Flakka, a new type of drug that is made from the same chemicals as bath salts, which can also cause numerous life-threatening syndromes. Flakka involves excited delirium, psychosis, and hyperthermia — raising a person's core body temperature to a very dangerous level. Flakka was placed higher on the list than crystal meth, as research recently found that it's even more addictive.
The full list is below:
1. Krokodil
2. Whoonga
3. Bath salts
4. Crack cocaine
5. Heroin
6. Flakka
7. AH-7921
8. Crystal meth
9. Purple Drank
10. Scopolamine
Don't let the Sun (a)CET(aminophen) down on your liver!!!!
WHO would take Crapo-Krock-O-Shit when they could get heroin. WHO would take these EVIL, imitations but for 'our' drug war??? NO ONE!
The most deadly drugs?
Tobacco (As a nod to SOTT, I add - and I say what I mean and mean what I say - at least nowadays, perhaps due to confluence of factors.)
Alcohol.
Prescription drugs.
HERE. LET ME SAVE THE LIVER (LIFE) OF YOU OR A LOVED ONE: SIMPLE:
Tylenol with alcohol!!! Be advised, fools! NO drinking if you take an opiate laced with Tylenol!!! Quick way to liver failure and YOU ain't Steve Jobs - for what good the transplant did him or whoever the computer guy was.)
{Easy way to tell? LOOK FOR THE 'CET'!!!
E.g., Percodan? = Oxycodone plus aspirin. Cooler to drink with THAN....
PercoCET. = Oxycodone plus tylenol. (LOOK FOR THAT 'CET!" It comes from aCETaminophen/Tylenol. If doctor tries to give you davorcet, vicodin (no 'CET' there but it has tylenol), ask the doctor if they have the same primary opiate mixed with other than tylenol. E.g., Vicoprofen! instead of vicodin; pure darvon, etc., etc.
Read erowid for gory details. (Hell, Even our big Brother "Friends" at our Alphabet Soup agencies use it to learn.)
Tylenol's real values:
#1 (You will see this in EVERY single ad for it); it's easier on your GI tract, [I imagine because it burns up your liver instead.}
#2. Fever reducer.
Don't let the Sun CET down on you! (Not bad.)
