"Human Bone-Infused 'Zombie Drug' Sparks Crisis in West Africa"

A new drug called kush, wreaking havoc in West Africa, is believed to contain a mixture of cannabis, fentanyl, tramadol, formaldehyde, and possibly ground human bones. It is causing deaths and hospitalizations, with users experiencing dangerous effects such as falling asleep while walking and walking into traffic. The drug is mixed by criminal gangs and is affordable, leading to addiction and criminal activity to finance the next dose. This drug epidemic highlights the need for an integrated forensic healthcare system and public health and employment programs to address the issue.
