Depending on what ends up happening with Social Security and Medicare in the next few years we may want to stock up on this stuff.
Because we need a new scare drug to keep the war raging.
I don’t believe that any drug makes an addict our of a first time user. They said the same thing about crack in the 80’s.
WTF is up with that AT&T add blocking most of the screen?
see above comments
way to be brainwashed by dare
And the worldwide media launches its advertising campaign for the stuff.
All addictions begin with a “first time use.” However, somehow I doubt that a single dose of Oxidado will require a user to spend a week in detox to recover.
This smells like bullshit. A new drug that’s more addictive, less expensive, unusually dangerous, easy to make, popular with poor people, kills users… and now it’s being smuggled into cities! Maybe it’s totally true this time, but this is the lie–the lie behind the whole murderous, idiotic drug war–that we’ve been told about literally every single drug that has any name recognition. Heroin, OxyContin, pot, cocaine, crack, meth… it’s always this fear-mongering crap.
@8: You forgot Jenkem!
wait, was that a news clip of a reporter reading other newspaper articles?
@8 Ab-so-fucking-lutely.
@9, ah, jenkem. So many memories.
Also, glue. The glue-sniffing epidemic of the 60s and 70s was entirely invented by, and then spread by, the media.
Sounds similar to Krokodil
I share the skepticism of the previous posters; it may be devastating to long-term addicts, but addicted after the first try? Contradicts everything I have read about the neurological foundations for addiction…and, btw, isn’t that the same stuff that has been around in Argentina for a while as “paco”. It sounds very similar.

thanks for the heads up-
America’s homosexuals will want to jump on this ASAP….
Not as scary as the Russian Krokodil drug.
@4 – It’s a Plan B add for me. From the part of the screen I can see, this newscast has the vibe of a high school newspaper report with Daily Show production values.
Fuck that, skooma is the worst drug imaginable.
Seriously, though, it’s nice to see that newspapers aren’t dead. This online video makes newspapers much more vital.
