GOING TO ANY LENGTHS –

April 6, 2024 – Our country is currently faced with an existential threat due to the ravaging impact of drugs and substance abuse, particularly the devastating synthetic drug kush,” Bio said.

One of the main ingredients in kush is ground-up human bone which enhances the drug’s effect.

The drug, which is fairly cheap to procure, provides a lengthy, hypnotic high that takes users out of reality for several hours and first surfaced in the country about six years ago.

Hundreds of young men have recently died of organ failure linked to the dangerous narcotic, one Freetown doctor told the BBC.

Admissions to the Sierra Leone Psychiatric Hospital involving sicknesses linked to kush have risen almost 4,000% between 2020 and 2023, and most victims are young men under 25, the Daily Mail reported.

The nation’s only drug rehab center, located in Freetown, opened this year with just 100 beds, the BBC reported.
