A psychoactive drug crafted from human bones is leaving addicts in the West African country of Sierra Leone digging up graves in order to get their fix. According to the BBC, this haunting menace has forced Sierra Leone to declare a national emergency. Police officers in Freetown are guarding cemeteries to thwart the disturbing practice of exhuming skeletons for the "Zombie" drug production. Notably, the drug, dubbed "kush", is made from a variety of toxic substances, with one of its main ingredients being ground-up human bone. 

The narcotic first emerged in the West African country around six years ago. According to the outlet, it induces a hypnotic high which can last several hours. The drug has become a widespread problem and dealers have reportedly turned into grave robbers, breaking into thousands of tombs to steal skeletons to keep up with the demands.

No, no, Sierra Leone. If I had a daughter who was a potential stripper, that is what I would name her. Sierra Sunny has a nice ring to it though.

I had to look up the name. It seems her parents and I were on the same page.
