A former flight attendant caught smuggling over 100 pounds of a deadly new synthetic drug made of human bones faces up to 25 years in a Sri Lankan prison.

Charlotte May Lee, 21, from the United Kingdom, was seized at Bandaranaike Airport in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo earlier this month after allegedly carrying suitcases full of "kush," a new[-ish] drug originating in West Africa which kills an estimated dozen people a week in Sierra Leone alone.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

...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?

"...cannabis, fentanyl, tramadol, formaldehyde and humans 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.

“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?

Apparently this drug possesses a certain amount of self sustainability.

Clickbait headline- they have no idea if ground up human bone was even involved in this particular case.

A) she may not have lifted them yet, and B) her bag may have already been heavy, but the smuggler tossed her property out.

Recreational use only. Be sure to employ The Emperor’s Shield.

And scrape off that quarter-inch of construction grade makeup. You don’t know what’s lurking underneath.
