A former Kush user, Gibril Bossco Jalloh, has described how peer influence at university contributed to his drug use and eventual addiction, urging young people to avoid harmful substances.

Jalloh said he had never used drugs before entering college but became exposed to Kush after being influenced by colleagues in his university department.

According to Jalloh, he later began using the drug despite being a graduate of the University of Management and Technology (UNIMTECH).

He recalled that smoking Kush initially produced feelings of dizziness and intoxication. However, he said repeated use eventually reduced its effect as his body became accustomed to the drug.

“Even when I smoked a lot of the drugs, I could no longer feel the effect because my body had become used to it,” he explained.

Jalloh said his addiction also strained his relationship with his family, claiming that he was rejected because of his condition.

He recalled that during one difficult period, he began distancing himself from colleagues and running away from them as he struggled with the effects of his drug use.

Now in recovery, Jalloh said his past experience has changed how he views young people who use Kush.

“I feel bad whenever I see young people smoking Kush because I have been through it myself,” he said.

He urged young people struggling with drug use to remain determined and seek a way to stop, emphasizing that recovery is possible.

Jalloh added that people who are committed to quitting can overcome drug use, saying, “If you are determined to stop smoking, God will make a way for you.”
