Move over avocado toast and craft beer, there’s a new trend in town and it’s not one to be taken lightly. The rise of a new and highly dangerous form of cannabis, known as “kush,” is causing havoc around the globe. But this isn’t your typical pot that your cool uncle used to smoke in the 70s. No, this kush is a terrifying concoction of cannabis, fentanyl (a potent opioid), tramadol, formaldehyde, and yes, even ground-up human bones. And it’s wreaking havoc on unsuspecting individuals, particularly in West Africa, with its reach now extending to other countries, including the UK.
Gone are the days of the laid-back stoner stereotype. This new form of cannabis is far from chill. In fact, it’s downright deadly. The combination of fentanyl, tramadol, and formaldehyde creates a potent and highly addictive high, while the addition of ground-up human bones adds a disturbing and macabre element to the mix.

As prescription painkillers became harder to obtain, drug dealers turned to cheaper and more accessible alternatives, such as fentanyl and tramadol. And with the increasing demand for a stronger high, they began mixing these opioids with cannabis, creating a deadly and highly addictive cocktail.
The consequences of this deadly combination are far-reaching and devastating. In West Africa, where kush has gained a stronghold, it’s estimated that over 300,000 people are addicted to this dangerous drug.

But it’s not just the physical effects of kush that are causing concern. The drug trade surrounding this deadly substance is also fueling violence and crime in many communities.

So, what can be done to combat this dangerous trend? Education and awareness are key. It’s important for individuals to understand the dangers of kush and to avoid using it at all costs. Governments and law enforcement agencies also need to crack down on the production and distribution of this deadly drug.
