...Kush should not be confused with the drug of the same name found in the US, which is a mixture of “an ever-changing host of chemicals” sprayed on plant matter and smoked. Kush in Sierra Leone is quite different; it is a mixture of cannabis, fentanyl, tramadol, formaldehyde and -- according to some -- ground down humans bones... 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. As for ground human bones, there is no definitive answer about whether or not they occur in the drug, where such bones would come from, or why they might be incorporated into the drug.Kush: what is this dangerous new west African drug that supposedly contains human bones?

On the bright side, users can skip their daily calcium supplement.
Looking forward to the “Locked Up Abroad” episode on this one. They’re all pretty much the same though. Stupid people winning stupid prizes.
“the fentanyl is thought to originate in clandestine laboratories in China where the drug is manufactured illegally”
I’m sure the Chicoms don’t know about these “illegal” fentanyl labs.
Shame, she is hittable.
“Drug….. which kills an estimated dozen people a week”
And where do their bones go?
“She also implied she knew who had “planted” the drugs in her suitcases...”
Good grief.
That’s just a dumb statement on the face of it....who wouldn’t notice an extra 100 pounds in their luggage?

Helluva drug. Human Bone Faces?
Pretty husky airline stewardess to carry 100 lbs of drugs in addition to the usual clothing in suitcases.
Clickbait headline- they have no idea if ground up human bone was even involved in this particular case.
