"Synthetic Drug Crisis Devastates Sierra Leone Youth"

In Sierra Leone, a synthetic drug called kush is devastating the youth, leading to severe addiction and health issues. With limited healthcare services, communities have resorted to extreme measures, including chaining addicts, to combat the crisis. The government has declared a war on kush, but the drug's changing composition and widespread availability complicate efforts. Community volunteers and organizations are stepping in to provide makeshift rehabilitation, but the situation remains dire, affecting families and the nation's future workforce.
