Kush: what is this dangerous new west African drug that supposedly contains human bones?

Retrieved on:

Dienstag, Januar 16, 2024

Another reason might be the drug content of the bones themselves, if the deceased was a fentanyl or tramadol user.

Key Points:

Another reason might be the drug content of the bones themselves, if the deceased was a fentanyl or tramadol user.
The drug is reported in both Guinea and Liberia, which share porous land borders with Sierra Leone, making drug trafficking easy.
The danger of the drug is twofold: the risk of self-injury to the drug taker and the highly addictive nature of the drug itself.
The effectiveness of legislation alone is questionable, and many of those who attend the very limited rehabilitation centres return to drug use.
