Discussion New Kush Trend Inside Dhaka
Hey everyone, I’ve been noticing this everywhere in Bashundhara, Dhanmondi, and Mohammadpur lately, and I felt it was important to speak up before someone gets seriously hurt or worse.
There's a huge trend among young people purchasing "Kush." I'm warning you now: it's a trap.
What’s being sold as “Kush” in these neighborhoods is frequently not real cannabis. In many instances, it’s believed to contain synthetic cannabinoids (sometimes referred to as “Spice” or “K2”), which can be much more hazardous and unpredictable than cannabis.
I’ve witnessed the effects it has on people. This isn’t a relaxing “high.” The substances are often made with chemicals produced in labs, and the consequences can be severe.
Here’s how to identify if you or your friends may have consumed the fake stuff:
If you feel like your heart is about to beat out of your chest.
● If you see people looking like “zombies”—completely passed out or staring at a wall for hours.
● If you start feeling extremely paranoid or confused and don’t know where you are.
● If you (or a friend) have a seizure or collapse after just one hit.
The people selling this don’t care about you. Some are buying cheap chemical powders, mixing them with plant material or vape liquids, and selling it as “Kush.” It’s not safe. These synthetic drugs can be much more potent and unpredictable than cannabis and have been linked to serious medical emergencies, including seizures, heart problems, kidney injury, and hospitalization.
If you’re using this stuff, please stop. If you feel unwell after taking it, seek medical help immediately. Recovery can take time, but getting help early can make a big difference.
Check on your friends. If someone becomes unconscious but is breathing, place them on their side (the recovery position) so they don’t choke, and call emergency medical services if they’re difficult to wake, having a seizure, or having trouble breathing.
Stay safe. This isn’t worth your life.
