Kush is a very harmful illegal drug that has spread g on every street corner across Liberia, its terribleness has been seen through the multiplicity of demeaning ways it has treated its end users, especially young folks (at-risk youths, and home children), through maltreatment, madness, and death.
For more than a year now, there have been several reports of deaths that were reportedly influenced by the consumption of kush in different parts of Liberia.
Hundreds of young Liberians are indescribably falling prey to the dreadful hands of the narcotic substance that’s also known as K2, which often treats them like they are running mad.
Drug addicts have described Kush as terrible as one can imagine, and they are being greatly affected by it because it is more dangerous than cocaine and marijuana.
