Sierra Leone stationing armed police outside cemeteries to prevent graverobbers from STEALING HUMAN BONES for use as drug ingredients

The West African nation of Sierra Leone has begun stationing armed police outside of cemeteries in an effort to thwart drug addicts from attempting to plunder human remains for ingredients to be used in the creation of a potent psychoactive "zombie" drug whose spread has gripped the country.

The move comes after President Julius Maada Bio declared a national emergency to combat the widespread abuse of the locally concocted drug nicknamed "kush," which is a dangerous mix of marijuana, fentanyl, tramadol, formaldehyde and, in some instances, ground up human bones. (Related: Philadelphia's "Zombieland" Kensington neighborhood continues to suffer from spread of "tranq" drug.)

The drug was first reported in Sierra Leone in 2018. It is known to give a hypnotic high that can last for several hours. In recent years, abuse of kush has surged and has become an unprecedented challenge for the country, leading to hundreds of deaths and severe psychiatric harm to thousands of other people.

"Our country is currently faced with an existential threat due to the ravaging impact of drugs and substance abuse, particularly the devastating synthetic drug kush," warned Bio.

In an effort to stymie the manufacturing of kush, the government has deployed armed police to safeguard cemeteries in the capital of Freetown. Reports indicate that graverobbers have been raiding burial sites under the cover of darkness.



The alarming trend of using ground-up human bones has prompted intensified efforts by law enforcement to combat grave robbery, particularly in the Racecourse Cemetery in Freetown, where the local gang known as the "Kush Boys" have been implicated in the tampering of graves

Had to look twice, it simply seems bizarre to me that bones would enter the ugly picture and make it worse. Why?

MSM's Newsweek said "Some have claimed that the drug contains ground-up human bones, though experts think this is likely only a rumor."

Don't know who the experts are.

The Times of India said:

However, this became a menace when it was found that adding human bones to this concoction made it even more effective,
which might be because of the sulphur content in human bones. Due to this suppliers and dealers have started digging grave and exhuming bones from graveyards to make the drug.

Whatever the case, with only one rehab center and mass poverty... :-(
