A former user of Kush, Gibril Bossco Jalloh, has shared how peer pressure at university led to his drug use and subsequent addiction, urging young people to steer clear of substances that can harm them.
Jalloh, a graduate of the University of Management and Technology (UNIMTECH), revealed that he had never tried drugs before attending college but became involved with Kush due to influences from peers in his department.
He described his initial experiences with smoking Kush, noting that it produced feelings of dizziness and intoxication. However, as he continued using, he found that the effects diminished as his body adjusted to the drug. “Even when I smoked a lot, I could no longer feel its impact because my body had become used to it,” he explained.
His addiction strained his family relationships, leading to feelings of rejection. During a challenging time, Jalloh distanced himself from friends and avoided socialising as he grappled with the consequences of his drug use.
Now recovering, Jalloh has a new perspective on young people who use Kush. “I feel bad whenever I see young people smoking Kush because I have been through it myself,” he admitted.
He encouraged those struggling with substance use to remain determined in their quest for recovery, stating, “If you are committed to quitting, God will make a way for you.”
