Drogen im Visier

Krokodil hit Georgia harder than any other country because the government was so efficient at getting rid of heroin. Only extremely trusted customers can get codeine from pharmacies in Tbilisi these days, and they sell only to trusted cooks known to make Krokodil cleanly --or at least, as cleanly as possible.
