Drug Crisis In West Africa, People Using Dead Bones To Make "Kush"

[crossbody]

The global synthetic drugs crisis has hit West Africa, where people are digging up human bones to make a drug called 'kush'​

"Synthetic marijuana" can be up to 100 times as potent as traditional marijuana, inducing extreme physical effects like seizures, psychosis, and even death.

Police guard Freetown's cemeteries​

Local media outlets have reported cases of gravedigging for bones to extract formaldehyde and make the drug.

Thomas Dixon, the editor of the Salone Times newspaper in Freetown, told BI that while his publication had not been able to confirm the use of human bones in the drug, "you will see missing bones" if you go to cemeteries in the city.

Fears over grave robbing for kush production have become so widespread in the city that some cemeteries have requested police protection,

"It makes you forget"​

Jalloh said most kush users were "between the ages of 20 to 34."
Sierra Leonians face soaring unemployment rates, and much of its population lives in poverty — and some seem to be turning to kush in a bid to forget such problems.

It's Fatal
It can also be fatal, with one doctor telling the BBC that "in recent months," hundreds of men had died in Freetown after suffering organ failure caused by the drug.
