The illegal drug market has led to a synthetic opioid threat, as highlighted by @SteveTransform in an op-ed. In West Africa, a dangerous synthetic drug, referred to as 'zombie' drug, is causing deaths. Reports from Sierra Leone indicate that the drug, known as kush, is addictive and ruining lives, with some users mixing it with ground-up human bones. The impact of kush in Sierra Leone is detailed in a report by @JamalMOsman and @Freddie_G7, shedding light on the dire situation.
