What kind of a world have we created, that it would lead people to do this to themselves?

Apparently the drug is used heavily in Russia (2.5 million addicts?) because it is cheaper than heroin. Perhaps we should take comfort in the fact that heroin is both relatively cheap and plentiful in the US, suggesting that Krokodil will not find many users here.

See ... the ruling class is looking out for us after all.
