"Grave Robbing Dealers Peddle Deadly Zombie Drug Made from Human Bones, Killing Dozens Weekly"
A new highly addictive drug called "Kush" made with human bones is causing a crisis in Sierra Leone, with dealers resorting to grave robbing to keep up with demand. The drug, which is openly sold and smoked on the streets, has led to widespread addiction and a surge in deaths, with an estimated dozen users dying weekly. Young people, facing poverty and lack of opportunities, turn to Kush to escape their harsh realities, leading to devastating consequences including homelessness, violence, and health issues. The psychiatric hospital is overwhelmed with cases, but resources are limited, and many patients relapse without proper follow-up treatment. The problem has also spread to neighboring countries, with an estimated one million people addicted across the region.
