just for your information, Kush being referred to here is not the ordinary cannabis. Its a syntethic drug which mimics the effects of cannabis, similar to the uk synthetic drug known as Spice or K2.
Made in a Chinese lab
Like she said at 0:06.
It's a synthetic drug that includes the likes of human bones crushed down into powder that has embalming fluid mixed in along with some small amounts of fentanyl & a few other nasty things that have been synthetically made in China but they crush it down & mix it with human bones that have embalming from the dead bodies ,my friend lives in Sierra Leon & its a real problem there aswell ,it's spelt Cush ,They have had to put armed guards at some of the main cemetery's to stop people digging up the newly buried ...
It's being mixed in with newly buried & crushed human bones that contain embalming fluid, I have a friend who lives in Sierra Leon & it's becoming an epidemic there ,To the point they are having to put armed guards to protect the newly buried bodies that the bones will be soaked with embalming fluid ,It also has small amounts of fentanyl too ,It's spelt Cush not Kush ,The embalming fluid soaked crushed bones hightens the buzz of the cush ..
And you feel the need to repeat what she said why?
I'm worried has it reached the shores of South Africa 🙆♂️
It was there way before in SA. I mean you have real junkies over there.
Thank you Champion beauty.
Looks like FL back in the 80s um glad that Era is long gone
So sad we have to stop this!!!!!
Its brown sugar also known as Smack.
😔
made in china....
I had kush is mixed with human bones
To understand the origin of Kush you have to travel to sierra Leone.
Well said my brother
Kush origin is real marijuana. Not what they are smoking. We had Kush here in America for decades......
This was horrible Reporting you have to let the people talk and next time bring some money with you 💰💯🙌🏾
You sound like you're smoking that stuff too
@@salmataalghali6839 me and your mom that new pac in the air wipe your knees 🥶
This is bad... really bad. Drug addiction robs people of their future, health and minds. Something needs to be done.
A very unfortunate situation right!
@@DWThe77Percent
Well don't count on any gov to help. They are the ones making money off drugs, in all countries.
Not to mention corporations.
A drug can't rob you of anything, these people are robbing themselves of their own futures
It is not only affecting Liberians or Sierra Leoneans but also In the Gambia it’s taking over
Really? It is indeed becoming a concern
@@DWThe77Percent Yes!! It's really a concern presently in Sierra Leone.😢
It's really killing in the Gambia in recent days we need the help😢
I have worked in the mental health field for more than forty years and have volunteered in Sierra Leone for twenty years. I have seen with my own eyes in recent years the destructiveness of kush addiction in the streets of Freetown. I think this epidemic of drug addiction is a significant health emergency in the country with a massive risk of compromising the psycho-physical well-being of an entire generation of young people. With my NGO, we are working to open the first therapeutic community for kush addicts. It will have to be a modern clinical and rehabilitation centre according to the standard criteria of scientific evidence. I hope this can be a model for many more such experiences in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
There is a drug epidemic going on in every country right now. In the first world countries- we have been facing an opioid epidemic for the last decade or more. In the 3rd-world, there are cheaper highs. Its just a sign of the times.
adding human bones to the cocktail only sounds like the bones somehow make them high when smoked or enhances the high from other drugs mixed in, i think this situation mirrors the mandrax (smoked methaqualone pills) drug epidemic that has plagued south africa
This is happening because cannabis is unjustly prohibited there.
Cannabis must be fully legalized world wide.
What? You're crazy. So people should smoke their lungs? What for? Instead of total eradication, you're talking legalisation.
@@vickyjay1489 nothing was written about everyone smoking.I personally do not feel that anyone should be smoking,nor do I believe that
anyone should be getting long
sentences in federal prisons for A PLANT that has been proven to have many beneficial medicinal applications.So get off of my case,you.
@@thomasmagee5644 You know damn well if it got legalised so many people would be on it even kids. At the end of the day, it's a DRUG that can be and is addictive. So it's best controlled. And if people are getting sentenced to jail for it, wonderful! Too may of y'all junkies out here anyway. Have a good one.
The garbage, the waste, a disgrace. Humanity destroys itself. 😢
As a fellow Liberian, it is our duty to change the lives of our people. We have to get our people off these drugs especially the future of our country and continent
This very sad and worrisome, the government should do something immediately to arrest the situation.
We hope something gets done soon too!
The government are a part of this, unfortunately
No thanks. I'll stick to the cannabis version of Kush.
I was like kush
Wtf kinda kush is that
And then I realized wtf they call kush
Man that that synthetic stuff is death
We have kush here the synthetic marijuana. I smoked it before and made me feel weird. I only smoke real weed now
Drug addicts still have dreams and ambitions, it’s just hindered
Another way from spiritual detachment
It comes from USA
When there's no hope only drugs take the away the pain of it .
Absolutely, it is a means of escapism. But there is always help to figure the underlying issues out!
They need the real Kush
This is really sad. I have dealt with drug addiction myself and have been sober since 2019. I hope anyone dealing with addiction gets the help they need.
What a waste of life
I thought 'Kush' was a strain of marijuana.
several strains, but this is spice
A trigger warning? Take it off. Grow up.
The same thing happens in Sierra leone 🇸🇱
this is really sad, it's also killing youths in sierra leone.
Reporting on this whilst not helping addsto the problem.. Stop interviwing these people ans help. THEY'RE FACES SCREAM HELP
I wouldn’t be surprised if Kush wasn’t State sponsored. Who would benefit from administering such a drug to such poor people. Who stands to gain if the youth of Africa are incapacitated?🤔
It is from China.
Just look at those ladies😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Good for them having kush.
And poor women..... they have to accept the violence of these addicted men. ( wish everyone get the help needed) 💔💔
They need real Kush marijuana strains. They are using the name but smoking crap. Kush is a very popular marijuana strain there’s many kinds of Kush like OG Kush, vanilla Kush etc.. if they had real Kush I think many would just smoke the real Kush and chill out that way smoking on some tasty Kush that will also take away there stress and anxiety and it taste delicious when grown and cured right. They could easily grow it outdoors were they live.
Our young population in Africa has potential for a drug epidemic or beautiful new ideas. We need better leaders and it starts at home
Our souls, actually
One of the predictable side effects of globalism.
I freak thought they were talking about weed for sec
Kush here in America is just good weed or ZaZa
This is realy painful😢😢😢
There on spice 😂
K2 make you see blue
🦧
Why would they use this when cannabis is a plant that grows naturally, and cost next to nothing to grow. Just wonder if cannabis is available in those countries??

Nice place, reminds me of Portland.
Is this the same or similar to Bombé?
Thank you DW. This helps me a lot to understand the new drug ravaging my country, The Gambia
You're welcome!

This is not kush, it's heroine and cocaine.
