Deadly Drug Made from Human Bones Spreads in West Africa, Causing Hundreds of Deaths and a Surge in Grave Robberies.

In Sierra Leone, West Africa, a synthetic drug called “KUSH,” made from human bones, has been spreading for the past six years.

The drug has caused the deaths of an estimated hundreds of people annually, and recently, there has been a sharp rise in grave robberies.

President Julius Maada Bio has declared a state of national emergency this April, describing KUSH as a “death trap” that is causing social chaos and straining the nation’s healthcare resources.

KUSH is a highly addictive psychoactive drug made from substances such as fentanyl, tramadol, and formalin. Although the exact reason for including human bones in the production of KUSH remains unclear, rumors in Sierra Leone suggest that bones are essential to its manufacturing process. This has led to a surge in grave robberies, with bodies being stolen from cemeteries. As a result, police have been stationed at communal graveyards in the eastern part of the capital, Freetown, during the night.

Frequent use of KUSH leads to severe swelling of the limbs, organ failure, mental disorders, and eventually death. The drug is particularly dangerous because it is extremely cheap—costing only about 30 yen (roughly 0.20 USD) per dose—making it especially popular among young people.

The background to this crisis includes the widespread loss of jobs and the sharp decline in employment opportunities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The BBC reported a doctor’s statement that “in recent months, hundreds of young men in Freetown alone have died from organ failure caused by KUSH.”

In Japan, a drug named “KUSH” has also been circulating, but it is mostly a form of cannabis and does not contain human bones.
