      @@lizkizub6206 Yes and no. Krokodil is really a highly impure homemade version of desomorphine which is a much less potent opioid than fentanyl. The reason for the horrible flesh-eating side effects from krokodil in Russia are because of the injection of all toxic solvents and unremoved fillers it contains when they are cheaply and poorly manufactured by unknowledgeable chemists.

    I've done this drug before under the impression that it was Molly. It was extremely stimulating, but without the strong euphoria associated with something like Amphetamine or Cocaine. It was actually very disphoric and dull. My body was very stimulated and my heart was racing, but I felt really, really paranoid and jittery. It lasted about 6 hours total, and the whole high felt like a really bad Meth comedown. I ended up taking some Ativan and drinking a few beers to go to sleep that night, and the next day, I felt extremely depressed and unmotivated. I found out later, that it was a synthetic stimulant from China called aPVP. It was one of the worst drug experiences I've ever had, and since then, I've never trusted anything sold as Molly, or anything sold on the street in general. Looking back at moments like this makes my sobriety a lot easier. I haven't touched a hard drug in years and I don't drink anymore either. It's a much better life when I'm clear headed.

    When I was a heroin addict in Florida, I lived in a Haitian community, and they LOVED that stuff. They were all ‘flockin’. When I was hanging out with them if always take a hit or two, and have even tried ti shoot it, but it never really did that much to me. That being said, I’m not sure how much it’ll effect when you’ve been doing heroin and crack for days, but I saw plenty of poor people taking it habitually and turning into different people. It’s a really nasty drug and I implore anyone thinking of doing it to think twice, then think 47 more times. Smoke some pot, do a pill if you have to, just stay away from this and fent. I’m 7 years clean now and there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. I now own a house and a business and life is good. To anyone struggling, I’m always thinking of you.

    One of my girlfriends best friends took some (it was sold to her as meth) and sprinted naked around the high school running track. It was a big event, made national news (was even picked up by a few international viral news sites). My girlfriend and I went to see a John Waters stand-up special, and even he had a joke about it. We got a chance to meet him afterwards and he ended up calling us the "Flakka crew" and seemed mildly impressed that we knew her, haha. I feel bad now, having joked about it at all. She never did seem right after that. She had a pretty normal life, some substance abuse problems, but nothing crazy until that day. Since then she's done all these dangerous and crazy things, been arrested over and over. Spent a lot of time in psych wards and rehabs. Recently she stole her grandmother's car and tried to abduct a little kid. We're not sure why, all we know is she tried to get a little girl to get in the car with her, and they called the police. All this makes her sound horrible, but she really was a cool person. Smart, funny, would do anything for her friends. It's a huge bummer. She's still going to court over the abduction thing. Was offered 10 years as a plea deal, and in Kentucky you have to do 85% of the sentence if it's a "violent crime" and this is being considered one. Life totally ruined

    One argument I've had for the legalization of Marijuana is if you can buy it from a store, it will not be laced with something you may not want; which several of your examples suggested. In 1989, when I was 17, I bought pot, and didn't know it was laced with PCP. As someone with Panic Disorder, and general anxiety, it was not a good combination, especially given the medications I was on at the time. It literally took me a few years to mentally get past that night.

    My best friend was in a depressed party stage a couple of years back where he started using MDMA. About a year into this era of his life his dealer started selling him Flakka and lying to him telling him it was MDMA.
    It was painfully obvious, even to him, that whatever this was it wasn't Molly. He started to become extremely paranoid, didn't sleep, hallucinating, etc.
    He kept buying this crap for months and it got to a point where he was really starting to scare me. He would accuse me of being in his house when I was 10 miles away at my own house. He would insist I was in his house and sneaking around whispering stuff. Any car that passed his house he thought was someone spying on him. When home at his place all he would do is watch his security cameras from his room all night.
    Eventually he got so bad he started coming over to my house when the paranoia and fear got too much at home and he would run from window to window peeping out from the shades. It came to a head when he came to my house and accused me of calling the cops on him because a cop car happened to pass by while he was peeping out the window. He got irate and became a raging lunatic bearing down on me, yelling at the top of his lungs that I called the cops on him.
    I managed to calm him down and convince him I had done no such thing and calmly told him he needs to stop buying this crap from that asshole. Told him what he already knew from first try, that this wasn't Molly and whatever it was was doing to him was scaring me beyond the point where I can justify remaining his friend.
    Luckily he heard me and stopped doing it and I didn't have to end our friendship.

Nothing like you get from shooting up or picking at your skin on crank. Almost looked like she actually tried to peel and cut her own skin off, but like really tried.

    I was having a very bad year and I ran into someone giving it away. He had me sign a paper saying I didn't care and told me to leave the second it was in my body, scared me at first but that fear wasn't crap compared to what was about to happen to me. It hit me and I couldn't speak right or see right or walk right. I felt like my skin was melting and I was shrinking in weight fast and my cloths kept falling off and a lady kept telling me to stop but I couldn't than one guy was recording lots of people were watching and no one helped. It was dusk when this happened and it got to a point where I passed out from fear or whatever idk and woke up in the grass. Fully dressed by the grace of God. Was groggy and confused the next morning socked and having flashes of the past day. It was awful. I was depressed one min and just wanting something like pot but got something totally different. Be careful you don't want this to happen to you.

    This stuff hit big in my hometown years ago (just 45 minutes north of Tallahassee). It completely replaced crack in my town, and all the coke and meth and Molly was getting cut with it because it was dirt cheap, potent, and amplified the euphoria of these drugs.
    Sometimes they'd sell straight flakka as Molly and even some people called it "Jolly" because the term flakka had so much infamy and stigma attached to it even by 2016. Glad I haven't been to my hometown in 6 years. I left right after that stuff had begun sweeping the town.
    Unfortunately, I have smoked it sold as "Molly". 60 bucks a gram, except a point was as strong as a gram of other stims in terms of dosage, so it was really like 50 full blown highs to a single gram, so it was dirt cheap. The rush makes crack look like a damn caffeine pill. Puts you in a real spook town, voodooy, dark headspace. It's got kind of creepy Satanic vibes to it that other popular stims lack. The smoke tasted like what I would imagine smoking rotten human flesh would taste like, and when it melts on the foil it melts into an opaque bubbling white blob that has this weird rotten green tinge to it. Nasty evil stuff. Glad it's basically gone these days. And thankfully I no longer use hard drugs these days by the grace of God.
    But you know what? If I was still using hard stuff these days, I'd still take stuff getting cut with flakka any day of the week compared to all the fentanyl cross contamination in the drugs these days. I feel extra bad for the people getting into the drug scene these days. I'd way rather take my chances with flakka than with fentanyl. Somehow I find fentanyl to be an even more evil drug than flakka and that is saying something

      @@commentsectionsexsymbol6011 eh, we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. Fentanyl is so potent and is far deadlier IMO. Flakka might have a more outwardly scarier effect when OD'd, but I don't feel it's particularly more deadly than any other stimulant, and at least it's very euphoric. Again, it is more dangerous and deadly than other stims but not by the margin some people make it out to be. But it's evil nature is much more on display than fentanyl. Fent is chilled out and doesn't cause people to act erratically, but the chances of death each time you use are WAY higher. So they are just two totally different kinds of evil.
      IMO Fent just gives you an hour long opiate body high but is devoid of any of the traditional mental euphoria of opiates. Even if it were highly euphoric it would not be worth the extremely high risks of extremely easy accident overdose / hot spots. With flakka I'd at least take my chances, Fentanyl not so much. and the euphoria from aPVP is at least worth the risk so long as you don't over do it. But the rush is HIGHLY addictive, much more so than meth or crack IMO. But I feel like Flakka at least has a point in existing in its own right. I see absolutely no no point at all to Fentanyl other than to give the deadly illusion that your heroin is better than it actually is. As a rule of thumb, if a drug can be used as a potential weapon of mass destruction, as Fentanyl/ Fentalogues are, then it's by far the most evil drug
      But either way, yeah. Flakka is kind of the true Version of that scary, boogy man drug that they always made traditional stims sound like in the media. They wanted their lie so much that it actually manifested. I'm not saying that traditional stims aren't evil, because they are. But I will say that Flakka is practically the equivalent of smoking or shooting Satan. Whereas with traditional stims, you don't get that vibe. They're alot more deceptive in their satanic nature than Flakka. Where on Flakka, it's very apparent that you are consuming the devil's fingernail clippings or something lol

I think they may have been a contributing factor to the main cause, totally out of control psychosis caused by untreated schizophrenia. At one point days earlier his dad gave him his car keys back when his sister had called him home- because Austin was losing it, because Austin was jumping on his car and he had to get back to work as a dentist. He offered him a Valium that he’d prescribed for him (dentist/son Valium prescription??) first, which Austin refused. Then he left. Immediately before the murders in the restaurant his dad grabbed him by the shirt collar and yelled what the hell is wrong with you at him. Austin resisted the impulse to hit him, walked out immediately and killed two people within the hour, believing them to be demons. I think the family could have done more.

    I tried a lot of different drugs. A-PVP is the shittiest high I've ever experienced.
    I have severe adhd, and I don't get euphoria from most stimulants so htere were no positive effects. None. Well, except for decongestion I guess. Even the stimulation is uncomfortable.
    And yet, it still causes a very strong urge to re-dose.
    "Oh maybe I just smoked it wrong, lemme try it again"
    "Oh I think I didn't take enough, I just need a little more "
    "It's obviously cut with something, I gotta do more"
    It's like it was fucking tricking me into re-dosing.

    I work as a welder on construction sites and I remember being attacked by a guy high on drugs, to this day I still dont know what he took but this sounds pretty close.
    It was last year in June when me and 3 of my co-workers were haing lunch break in the first story of an office building in construction when we heard screaming and the sound of stuff being thrown around downstairs, we wanted to go and check whats up but before we could reach the staircase a naked, young man that looked like he hasnt eaten anything in 2 weeks came sprinting up the stairs, wildly flailing his arms around, screaming like a dog but trough a human throat, and in one hand holding a piece of concrete reinforcement steel, We shouted at him to drop it and get of the site but as soon as he noticed us he started attacking
    - As a point of reference he was maybe 5"5, absolutely starving by the looks of it, bleeding on the feet from walking on rough concrete barefoot and blindly charged a group of 4 men who were all 6ft+, >220lbs -
    He was stunningly fast though, hitting my colleague nearest to him in the shoulder with the steel so hard he fell on the ground and had his bones broken. I was at the time wearing a Type 75 CZ 9mm pistol, so I wanted to shoot the naked dude but he was on the first us so fast I risked hitting my friend if I did. Luckly After hitting my first mate the attacker had some kind a seizure, where he would spasm even more wildly than before and lump towards the rest of us slower, which gave me time to give him a straight upward kick to the chin, which dropped him on the floor immediatly, because as I was wearing steel capped boots the kick absolutely wrenched out his neck, giving him Quadripelgia
    Edit: Even now I still sometimes have nighmares about such a freak breaking into my home and trying to kill me or my wife, I wake up crying and covered in sweat because these goulish, deranged eyes of his in combination with the insane dog like screaming is carved into my fucking skull

Long story short I was there for heroin as were most people but I had a kid I got close with at one of the houses and one day he just up and left, didn’t even pack the little stuff he had. We all imagined he went back out and used but a few days later the guy who owned the halfway came by and showed us a video of this kid running butt naked through Boca Raton until he was subdued. That’s that flakka smh. I had it offered to me but if I were to relapse at that point it was going to be with opiates.. and I did.

    I remember my Flakka patient in an A&E shift as an intern Dr. He was just a middle-schooler, yet he managed to break through his bed restrains after snapping out of his first (of many recurring) seizure. What followed was me, another doctor, and multiple nurses having trouble restraining him.
    I really felt sorry for his parents. His mother who was just broken down and crying. His father who couldn't even allow himself that luxury and had to constantly put on a brave face to reassure his wife, his son during his brief lucid intermissions, and all the while trying to placate the cops. Yet you can see the hollowness and despair behind his gaze.
    The Assistant Emergency Dr that I worked under kept having conflict with these cops, trying to keep them out. They kept trying to hover over the poor kid, constantly wanting to extract confessions outta him even though he wasn't yet stable. Even trying to coax us medical staff into breaking our confidentiality. Given that Paediatric A&E was already understaffed that night (graveyard shift) while abnormally busy. The whole situation was an absolute clusterfuck.
    I curse whoever sold the kid that drug, and whoever peer pressured such a young kid into taking flakka, let alone any drug.

    I was on a job site as a welder in Oklahoma once and I was rooming in an apartment with an older guy that was a painter. He seemed like an alright guy for the first few months. Then one day I came in and the light fixture in the living room was gone and a buck knife jabbed into the ceiling right next to where the bulb should be. I heard a noise in the bathroom and the door was open so I just looked inside and he was standing on a bucket, the ventilator fan was dangling by the 2 wires and I asked him what was up with all this and he said "They got this place bugged." I asked who had the place bugged and he said "The fk'n cops man. But I'm on it. I know what the mf'er's are up to." I went back into the kitchen and he came dashing in, did a barrel roll and came up beside the window and opened the curtain just a little bit so he could peep out and he said "SEE!!! There they are. I told you." I walked over and looked out and there wasn't a cop car anywhere to be seen and I told him and he said "Aw BS. You see that black car? That's a cop. AW SHIT. They got us surrounded. SHIT!!!!! We gotta hide." He ran out into the living room and grabbed his knife outta the ceiling and he was sweating like a rabid dog and he started getting agitated and hostile. I made a bee line straight for the door and left. He was on cocaine. Later on I saw him heating it and some water in a spoon with a cigarette lighter and he was shaking so bad he couldn't keep the spoon over the flame. After another week I said to hell with this shit and joined the Navy. Lol. At the rate he was going, the cops WERE gonna be coming for him for real and I would've went down with him just for being there. I haven't seen him since. I'm pretty sure he's dead by now.
    Edit His name was Jerry McCorkle and I just Googled his name and Tulsa Oklahoma. Lol. Yep. If you wanna see how it ended Google it for yourself.
    Edit again He had a brother named Terry that was about as bad. I found where was found dead in his home and his car stolen and they caught some guy driving it. It was most likely over drugs. That whole family was messed up.

    Two videos made their way around South Africa a of couple years ago that may have actually been flakka. Two young school boys (I'm talking about 12 or 13 year olds) had smoked weed laced with something and can be seen convulsing on the floor. I believe one of them died and there was a rumor going around it was laced with flakka. It's honestly so shocking. This world is an abhorrent place sometimes!

    La Flaca makes a reference to Death, with in Mexican culture it’s often interpreted by a women’s skeleton

    We are getting more and more here in Houston Texas over the last year. At the sobering center, we won't take them in and they are sent to the hospital. We also don't take in people on pcp or bath salts. I have seen people on all three drugs where it took a half a dozen cops to subdue one person. ☹️

    I saw another video about this complete with police body cams and it was jaw dropping. The police and paramedics just couldn't keep up with the emergency calls in one area. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed the effects. Very scary!

    Oh God I was hooked up on this one, it is widely spread in Russia too x__x Worst experience of my life, managed to get off without any treatment but that's a rare case, usually its users just rot and die, I've seen enough of this...
    NEVER EVER TRY THIS ONE, it's pure, greedy, almost conscious evil!

    *I always mix up Flaka with Jemkem; both drugs I would never want to be around let alone use.* Interviews with users have said you see yourself as being in hell and people are horrifying monsters, cars are giant monsters and so forth.
    *Then, their adrenaline goes through the roof at some point because the instinct to overcome the fear finally takes over, and they murder people, charge into moving traffic and all kinds of deranged shit!*

    Reading a lot of the posts, some people had experience with it either directly or because of someone close to them. All sorts of symptoms have been described, but no-one explains why theytd even consider using it or go back for more, given its ugly side effects.

    The fact they can abolish Flakka so fast makes you wander what the problem is with meth

    • @coopercross6123
      @coopercross6123 Рік тому

      It's in lots of medicines and was originally pushed on pilots. It has a dark history and a lot of people don't want to give it up. I know construction guys that do it, movers, fuck I knew a guy who worked on Wall Street and did meth. If you have ADHD and have taken meds for it you have taken a form of meth. Adderall is DextroMETHAMPHETAMINE. It's also in perscription allergy meds. Point is people kinda love Crystal

    Yikes I can just feel the withdrawals as they're explained. I've been on and tried many medications and some have very mild versions of these withdrawals so I can feel the inflamed skin and rushing hot insides in your blood stream and the jitters of caffeine and the paranoia because of forced anxiety along with anger from being uncomfortable and restless. When I tried Welbutrin I felt an intense anger and couldn't break out of it so I just tried to cry it out. And this rush and invincibity is coming from the tingling insides and uncomfortable state. Lithium, which I'm on right now is a salt but a completely different one of course. But it sometimes makes me crave salt so I drink a lot of water, plus it has given me some weird hot flashes but it's not a common one for me. Ambien makes me look like im someone else in a creepy way in my reflection and lunesta makes my hair look sharply defined and not smooth at all. I could go on and on. Prescription drugs are bad as it is.

      Ambien did that to me too!!! I thought i was going crazy. I didnt use it for sleep. It got me high like 50mgs of valium. My neurologist insisted i have it!! Also Zoloft made me suicidal and the other cidal!!
