At the end of this video, the narrator ask, "I wonder why people want to get high in the first place." You should tell us, because I see how these people have to live, and it's no mystery to me. Extremely tragic, and it's everywhere in this world😢
thats not what he said. he said " i cant help but think there is so much work to be done to adress the reasons why people want to get high in the first place". a very different sentiment.
Seeing the smile and pride on Ibrahim’s face made me really happy for him. He is a strong boy and he will make it out of this. Prayers to him and everyone else.
Was in Sierra Leone back in 2018 and the state of that nation is heartbreaking. Honestly no one has hope there. No jobs nothing set in place and now this. Can confirm that kush didnt explode and wasnt around back in 18.
@@ragnarandersson2866I always say this. Their suffering is self inflicted and they have no shame or self awareness / accountability / scruples whatsoever. 🤷🏽♀️
The man in the video mention Texas and Califrnia have kush problems. But im telling you, the stuff we call kuch here in the states is much much different that the stuff they call kush. Here in the US, kush does not make you lose your mind, and it does not make wounds all over your body
Kush is just their local nickname he's talking about research chemicals in general. Like synthetic canniboids and opioids. There's spice/bath salt and fentanyl epidemics in the US no?

Can you imagine living in a literal garbage pile NOT a dump just garbage and the arrest is so odd!? Taking her money and whatever else that she has..no evidence bags or logs and no restraints just riding on the back of a BIKE !?
i’m so happy this is getting more coverage. imagine how big of a news story this would be if it was happening in the US? people know about tranq and blues, but they have no idea about this stuff. it’s insane. also super cool to see house of happiness featured in this documentary. they’re absolutely amazing. ❤❤
sierra leona also produces some of the best coco beans on the planet ! :) thought that would a nice funfact after dark stuff this :D hope they solve this
Sounds a bit like in UK when we had the "spice" epidemic. I remember walking from my office block where I worked towards car and there was bodies everywhere. It was like zombie land. It stopped when the psychoactive law came in.
@@dazasc3994 I stopped seeing zombies in the middle of the road on my walk 20min back and forward to the car park. One Saturday morning there was a "dead" mans body in fire exit on my BT building. I reported it to the drug rehab building across the roads. He wasn't dead.
Ive used Spice, especially in Vietnam, as a sleeping aid in very small doses: nice (tiny joint). How on Earth you can get hooked on this stuff though amazes me. Its an awful high (when youre awake).
Media !? WHYYY...NO ONE HAS ELECTRICITY LET ALONE A TV...It's for the rest of the world. Meant to squeeze a few more pennies from aid packages that are then used by the area's 1% like ATMs. I am NOT advocating drugs of any kind but looking at what passes for "life" in places like this and I understand the appeal.
The situation in the US sounds similar, even though there is supposedly a high standard of living. Have a read of the "Rat Pack" experiment on morphine. Definitely supports your insights.
What liquid are the cops just pouring down there? Just into the ground like that? They had a bunch of chemicals in the makeshift lab, nothing that should be disposed like that.
Exactly why we grow our own in Canada. But even then, nobody is spending time and money to spike the cannabis in Canada. It’s too cheap. Probably cheaper than the chemicals you say are being added.
Government should initiate planting for food and jobs .where there will be more food to consume locally and some exported to neighboring countries even not abroad.
I wonder if the police in the military are going to just turn around and sell it back to the people and make some serious money in a seriously poor country ?
That official is right..Kush is everywhere even in the US..Many addicts in the US especially Kensington Philadelphia they have such wounds as side effects..Some use wild animal tranquilizers.
refreshing to see a local journalist telling local stories

You're exactly right, even the people that appear as if they're better than those that need help seem to be strangers to reality..

hes talking about spice which most definitely turns you in to a zombie
Well America have Tranq, which does that exact thing. In Philly it’s become an epidemic. I’ve seen the videos all over UA-cam.

a great reporter, truly one of the best
Legalise marijuana, allow people to grow it like in Amsterdam, Germany etc and now dealers have to find a real job
The dealers will still be dealing it would just be legal and in a shop instead of the streets. That’s what’s happened in the states.

Poverty is the problem here
I'm no scientist, but seriously, there's no way the bones actually do anything, right? I mean, apart from making the whole thing more macabre.
It was to get the formaldehyde that had soaked into the bones as a result of the preservation process.
I heard the drug requires large amounts of calcium, hence the bones

I was thinking how unfair it was, they had zero proof. Witch hunt comes to mind.
they had a bag of lots of kush which she said was for herself. But it looked like too much for that...
@@regolyth
They had proof right there. They confiscated her Kush from her bag along with her drug money.
This is Africa mate. What do you expect?
She was not arrested by police officers my dear,show was arrested by citizens that volunteer to put an end to Kush in their community.

Not many people have "access" to a fresh Christian corpse, they also mentioned things documented years ago.
That's what i said. Aren't they all getting second hand high. That whole village is high now
I think the government should first focus on how to stop importing this addictive drug instead of destroying people's poor homes
That reporter sees it for what it is and tells it so.
Kudos to that lab technician, he is very eloquent 💯❤️
THOUSANDS are born "live" and die without ever leaving a hint that they existed.

So ?
@@yungmentalproblemsThousands of Millions
11:19 absolutely not a legit rehab program but more like county jail with even less freedom and dignity. 😢
10:07 The narrator's voice sounded like he recorded it on a microphone made from Kush!...
This is beyond a tragedy and these folks are also beyond impoverished. Be grateful you all for everything.
4:10 WHOA! That's certainly one way to acquire formalin
Thanks
If you defeated the temptations of all manners of smoking, congratulations 🎉👏
Poverty, misery 💔
Our world is in such a dark horrendous place right now it truly is the end of all humanity
This is certainly not going to help their current situation.
cost more in the long term to enforce a war on drugs then it is to give addicts treatment

did it really stop? the law just bans certain chemicals and the chemists find different alternatives

Smoking ground up dirty nappies and human bones mixed with bug repellant
Fine work by the reporter and his team
Shame on the chemist that created this drug.
Same situation here in 🇱🇷 Liberia, its truly a substance abuse epidemic and its deadly 😢
My goodness, the sores on the guys leg! 💔
The walking dead…
What really blows my mind is that they dispose of it in an open fire pit at the end. Great reporting.
No,it's not drugs which is evil.Human is evil.
They're actually smoking on the real non metaphorical Opp pack, what the heck
I like the kush healer guy😂 he is an entrepreneur🤣🤣
Idk if he was National drug agency wearing that D&G shirt😂😂
I can tell you that no one kicking"kush" never seen never heard
Great reports and choice of genre.

To say kush is a problem in Tx, EU and so on is a broad statement. There are serious issues there too but maybe kush is not the principal one
There may be Kush in the world, but not the same recipe as that.
Government should initiate planting for food and jobs .where there will be more food to consume locally and some exported to neighboring countries even not abroad.
Shame on whoever convinced this people to smoke human bones.
Wow the pidgin...i can relate to it ...sounds a bit Cameroonian
this is crazy
So much corruption in one video…..
This drug is evil
I wont say much about it
I wonder if the police in the military are going to just turn around and sell it back to the people and make some serious money in a seriously poor country ?
Government officials should be punished for not helping their citizens
they want to keep their country going? for what? more suffering?
Sounds like the spice epidemic we had in England
I can’t watch this It’s breaks my heart. I am praying for the children and people of Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 lord have mercy. ❤🙏
Is this Croydon?
Smoking human bones sadly only in sierra leone 😔 00:59
I'm a kush healer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is also destroying uk urban centres 😢
My question is that how come this kush entering this country sierra leone
You have to be cruel to be kind especially to these drug addicts!!
I miss my country.
Kush is to SL as Colorado is to Naija.
What a sick life. Education, Build schools, No education.
Lol y'all got the wrong kush
OMG which country is this I can't believe in African
Let's say no to drugs expercialy tramadol

Hope my government should take the same measure 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 kush
So its basically Spice or K2
A country full of diamonds 😢😢
Human bones can't make you high, right?
Human bones ? The stupidest superstitious myth I ever heard in my life. Chinese chemicals and drugs that they export to the world, even America
Please don’t ever vote
if the us lost the war on drugs i doubt sierra leone will win
Horrifying
