yes, it is cheap. that's nice. however i dont think 'krokodil' will catch on. there areother drugs that are cheap too, and junkies get by. also no recreational user with half a brain left would opt for that over something like heroin (which doesn't rot you).
also who came up with calling it krokodil? sounds like something the DEA would call a drug to scare some americans. i dont even thing krokodil means crocodile in russian (due to the fact that russia uses an different alphabet than us).

Krokodil is how you pronounce crocodile in Russian. However, they spell it крокодил. We just use English alphabet letters to spell it, as most can't really read cyrillic.
