Sorry, i dropped a word, a key word, it was supposed to say: the Inuit traditional culture
Why limit it to drugs, how about alcoholics? Even if you aren't an alcoholic booze can kill too...
I love how people separate drugs and alcohol. Alcohol is a drug. Just because it's "legal" doesn't mean it's not a drug. One of the most damaging drugs at that.
Some want to escape their world, some want to explore new worlds, some just want to relax and some want more energy to party on. People have used substances for as long as we have been on earth and always will.
Religion is just as much a drug.
I agree with your post including the last sentence.

Yes, yes, yes! Alcohol is probably the drug that does the most damage to kids since it is easy to get. I know it was easy to get when I was fifteen and I don't see any proof that that has changed in forty plus years. Heck, throughout history alcohol has been easy to get. My dad, who was a teenager in the "wholesome" 1950s, started drinking in his teens and was dead by the age of 44 by working his way to being a hardcore alcoholic. To top all that off, he worked somewhere where it was tolerated, but now we know there were many places that tolerated alcoholics. Bummer!

Miles ahead of all the other weird and unwonderful drinks in terms of sheer nastiness is seagull wine. Made by the Inuits, it stands as a testament to the ideology of getting drunk no matter what the cost.
It is interesting that in the article's comments, someone posted this:

Legalize drugs they say. They harm noone, they say.
Now, I'm certainly not in favor of legalizing all drugs, but most likely this weird Krocodile drug wouldn't have been created if more natural drugs (like the heroin it is mimicking) were legal. It's not like it's crack in which a stronger drug is being diluted (and so there is a cost incentive), it's two different and more readily available legal ingredients combining into one (terrifying) drug.
Depends on what you consider a drug. I've seen more 500+ pound people in my hospital career over the last ten years than I care to! Food, alcohol, cocaine, pot.....it's all about feeding an addiction.
What I don't get is people that use Meth, crack and heroin! Argh....we all have seen what these chemicals do to the body and mind!
That Krocodil is just one more pathetic, slow death for fools. I would rather inhale helium through a non-rebreather mask. Less painful, faster and leaves a better corpse.

How about seagull wine?
