One former user Abu Bakhar, 25, told Channel 4 News he gave up hopes of a music career as the drug turned him into a ‘zombie’.”

Another aspiring rapper we will never benefit from hearing.

Sleeping while standing is something I see as pretty useful.

“While cannabis is widely grown in Sierra Leone, the fentanyl is thought to originate in clandestine laboratories in China where the drug is manufactured illegally and shipped to west Africa. Tramadol has a similar source, namely illegal laboratories across Asia. Formaldehyde, which can cause hallucinations, is also reported in this mixture.”

What horror!

Anything but play it straight.
Got a job..raise your kids right..don’t be pathetic?

Is this real? It sounds horrible and traguc for several reasons! A worst case scenario of where long lost cousin Bob ended up.

I don’t understand how the guy in the picture is sleeping and doesn’t fall over.

That seems like somebody is Borating dumb white reporters. Although honestly Sierra Leona is a mess. A place that if you can’t get out of physically you might as well get out of it mentally. But I’m still not believing this story for a second.

All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief...

It’s real. I have never been an addict of any kind and thus can’t understand it. I suspect what this addict says about Kush might be similiar to what addicts of other drugs say:

“Groups of mostly young men sitting on street corners with limbs swollen by kush abuse is a common sight in Sierra Leone. With a bandage around his ankle, one recovering addict told the BBC the drug has a tight grip on him.

“I don’t like doing this, but I cannot leave it because I enjoy it,” he said.”

It’s very real.

The only thing in question is whether they really use human bones. Even if they don’t...people think they do and rob the graves. Thus the need for police presence.

“Formaldehyde”?

No wonder these druggies act zombiefied. THEY’RE PICKLED!.

"Human remains contain traces of sulphur, which allegedly can enhance the affects of drugs."

Too bad sulfur can't be obtained in any other way. If they did get it from another source, it probably just wouldn't be the same - like dolphin-free tuna.

Nancy Reagan was so right.

We should tell them that one of the ingredients is “spotted owl feathers” jusy for poops and giggles

[Signalman]

This sounds like a movie that will eventually wind up on “Svengooli”.

[Clay Moore]

Tuna just doesn’t taste right without the dolphin in it. )^;
