A psychoactive drug made from human bones is leaving addicts digging up graves in order to get their fix.
Police officers are guarding cemeteries in Freetown, Sierra Leone, after more people are turning to the drug Kush.
It is made from a variety of toxic substances, with one of its main ingredients is ground-up human bone.
Human remains contain traces of sulphur, which allegedly can enhance the affects of drugs.
It first emerged in the country around six years ago and induces a hypnotic high which can last for several hours.
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’.
He said: ‘Because of drugs I did not concentrate on studies. Because of drugs I did not concentrate on writing. Because of drugs I did not concentrate on anything’.
Abu is now homeless and lives on a landfill site among a thousand others.
Sierra Leone’s President Bio said: ‘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.’

Bodies might be dug up for formalin that is used to preserve bodies.
It is very easy to say just go buy a vial of whatever but that might not be the case in that location where many seem to be desperate and poor
Kind of interesting that no one has forensically looked at the drug to see if it has bones.
He’d fit right in at the DMV or the post office.
Nothing good ever comes out of Africa.
The bone eaters should be brought to the US as refugees.
We could give them $50,000 vouchers and maps to graveyards.
ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL.
To disagree is racist and a sign of colonialism .
Combo of synthetic cannabinoid, some natural cannabinoids, acetone, tramadol(synthetic opioid), formaldehyde...what a tragic mess...the Swiss army knife of addiction and death...

I just said that to my daughter the other day, its like surimi isnt as good without the borax. Kids just dont know what they are missing.
My great grandfather lived to 98, inhaled his cigars and lived during a time when asbestos was one of the secret ingredients.
I think he would agree but maybe we dont have to go quite that far.
If they just switched to eggs then where would the good stories about “the old days” come from?
50 lbs of sulfur available from Amazon. (And isn’t that an impressive link?)
Why am I not surprised this came from the same continent that brought the world jenkem.
Man, just when you start thinking the human race can’t sink any lower into depraved insanity....
I’m reminded of Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman stealing the body in Young Frankenstein for the making of their monster.

Strictly low tech. If it can be made from human bones, it can be made from animal bones. The rest is African superstition.
Here, we call it the Kensington Lean...
Look at the SF pics’ junkies, standing/kneeling in stupor — it’s amazing they’re upright!
Sulfur is widely available on Amazon:

There are many ways to get sulfur without digging up bodies.
Human bones make it kick harder? Have they tried just taking it with carbs?
Every garden center has bagged ag sulfur, cheap, too.
Krokodil? I remember reading about this stuff, it was quite a nasty substance.
