A famous seller of the deadly cannabis sativa, kush, is blaming government for allowing the drug to be imported into the country by dealers.

Mohamed Kaikay ( not his real name) conducts his business at a seashore community around Water Quay, Freetown’s national seaport. He said until those who’re  importing the kush and other kinds of the cannabis ( tramadol, jagaban, cella,) have little or nothing to sell to smokers before the too many deaths of youth  and swelling of their feet could stop.

He said: “If the import of the kush is stopped by government, we will have little to sell. I ran to a wholesale customer days ago, he told me he hadn’t enough left with him to sell out.”“Truly, the oversea supply of the kush is not too much as it used to be over the past months.”Kakay said the sharp decline was as a result of the police chasing them at their hideouts. And, I’m often being blamed by the community members for still selling the kush, he said. Talking to him to see reason why he should stop the selling of the kush that is seeing his compatriots dying regularly, he said he wished the kush import is stopped today by the government.“I get bad name for selling the kush, and I just wish it’s no more imported in the country.”At the place where he was selling the kush raps, young men kept droning around in turns to buy raps to light up. The men could be seen paying up their money for the kush or other cannabis. In the midst of a two-man counseling tour, the men at seaside by Water Quay in Freetown were busy rapping up the jots of cigarette mixed with the cannabis kush. They complained bitterly of a youth team who went about beating them for smoking the Kush.

Other Kush men were being barbed low cut as they were forced to sit down on Wednesday March 20, 2024 at noon hours.
