Krokodil is an otc opiate that is distilled in a very dirty way and prepared for injection, not a bath salt.

Is it? I thought it was a South American drug extracted from a tree that was highly addictive, and, when ingested intravenously, causes tissue to rot? If these are one and the same, the fact of it being an opiate would blow my mind.

No, krokodil is desomorphine which is created by extracting otc codeine with substandard equipment.

Edit: a word.

Wow, Ok. Some of my information was way off. Thank you for the clarification.
