Don’t do illegal drugs, don’t die from illegal drugs…it’s pretty simple. This is a problem for the willing user.
If you do drugs and die from the mystery mixture you’ve put in your body don’t expect me to care.
If you have kids, google “Krokodil” and show them the pictures. That should be enough to dissuade them, it’s terrifying stuff!
