Breaking Bad....Only in America

[Rev. Rye]

Well, meth is one of the easiest illegal drugs to make, but it's also one of the very worst for your body. Whereas other dugs - even heroin and cocaine - do have some therapeutic merit (even if it's only limited), there's no redeeming aspect to meth at all.

Actually, there's a far worse drug for you than meth. It's called Krokodil; it's a knockoff of heroin that came to be after Russia started cracking down on heroin sales and production in 2003. The crackdown worked way too well because heroin became impossible to get and addicts managed to create something that's not only of poorer quality, but dangerous enough that it literally makes your flesh melt off your body, like a Nazi looking into the Ark of the Covenant. I've watched all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad (excellent show, by the way) and I've never seen meth do anything like that to its users on that show.
