The world of drugs keeps getting darker.
A London woman has been arrested after attempting to smuggle a drug known as “Kush” into the country of Sri Lanka.
Drug smugglers get arrested all the time, so what’s the big deal?
Well, the drug “kush” that the woman was smuggling contains pieces of human bones in it.
Here’s a must-read by The New York Post:
A former flight attendant caught smuggling over 100 pounds of a deadly new synthetic drug made of human bones faces up to 25 years in a Sri Lankan prison.
Charlotte May Lee, 21, from the United Kingdom, was seized at Bandaranaike Airport in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo earlier this month after allegedly carrying suitcases full of “kush,” a new drug originating in West Africa which kills an estimated dozen people a week in Sierra Leone alone.
Lee, from south London, claimed the drug stash — which has a reported street value of $3.3 million — was planted in her suitcases without her knowledge, her lawyer, Sampath Perera, told the BBC.
She is being held in harsh conditions in a jail north of Colombo where she has to sleep on a concrete floor, though Perera said she’s been in contact with her family.

So what exactly is “kush”?
The BBC breaks down where the drug trend originated from:
Sierra Leone’s president has declared a national emergency over rampant drug abuse.
Kush, a psychoactive blend of addictive substances, has been prevalent in the country for years.
President Julius Maada Bio called the drug a “death trap” and said it posed an “existential crisis”.One of the drug’s many ingredients is human bones – security has been tightened in cemeteries to stop addicts digging up skeletons from graves.
Groups of mostly young men sitting on street corners with limbs swollen by kush abuse is a common sight in Sierra Leone.
With a bandage around his ankle, one recovering addict told the BBC the drug has a tight grip on him.
“I don’t like doing this, but I cannot leave it because I enjoy it,” he said.
