You know what happens when you assume things?

you post an article with broken footnotes that makes dubious claims?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desomorphine

Read carefully

Toxicity of "krokodil"
Illicitly produced desomorphine is typically far from pure and often contains large amounts of toxic substances as a result of being "cooked" and used without any significant effort to remove the byproducts and leftovers from synthesis. Injecting any such mixture can cause serious damage to the skin, blood vessels, bone and muscles, sometimes requiring limb amputation in long-term users.

Before you blame everything on the US

that wikipedia article actually links the patent I mentioned

"First synthesized in 1932 and patented in 1934 in the United States"

Yeah but Krokodil was created in Russia

You act like the US unleashed a poison onto the world

I'm saying that you can't blame russia for using an american drug

Unless you think a better alternative to morphine is a bad thing

and the government has actually taken steps to stop the practice

they did things like ban websites that explain how to make it and restrict access to codeine

Good

Can’t blame stupid people for doing stupid stuff huh?

well drug use is a side effect of poverty

and russia has had a lot of that since the USSR fell

so it's predictable that drug use would flourish there

Lol

And you blame the US for the fall of the USSR

Of course

did I?

That seems to be what is implied

@DA GOMMIE JOO codeine is good tho

no the USA had nothing to do with the fall of the USSR

Say thank you to Reagan

Thanks for putting my country on crack

And for killing civilians

so now you're taking the stance that the US DID cause the collapse of the USSR and that it was a good thing

thanks for chechnya

I guess eating children is better?

thanks for the oligarchy

and the burning of parliament

USSR bankrupted itself

Partially by going to war in Afghanistan

oh that reminds me

It bankrupted itself by being revisionist

thanks reagan for arming islamic terrorists in afghanistan
