KUSH ADDICTION IN SIERRA LEONE — AN ILLNESS, NOT A DEATH SENTENCE!
UNDERSTANDING SCIENCE, BREAKING THE STIGMA, AND FINDING REAL SOLUTIONS WITH DR. LABOR
👆🏾Listen to the VOS Social Media Review show, dated NOVEMBER 23, 2025
🔴 LIVE on VOS: Understanding Kush Addiction in Sierra Leone — An Illness, not a Crime
Across Sierra Leone, heartbreaking videos and headlines about Kush users dominate social media. But behind every story is a human being battling an illness. Addiction is not a moral failure — it is a brain disease that requires treatment, not punishment.
This Sunday, November 23, The VOS Social Media Review goes deep into the science of addiction with Dr. Labor, a globally trained neurologist and psychiatrist with more than 20 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment.
🎙 FEATURE GUEST: Dr. Labor
• UK-trained; advanced medical career in the USA
• Worked on Alzheimer’s research and addiction treatment programs
• Trained at Cornell & Columbia University
• Post-doctoral fellowship at the Addiction Institute
• Consultant psychiatrist & academic expert
🧠 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
• Why addiction (including Kush) is a medical illness
• How drugs hijack the brain and change behavior
• Scientific facts from credible sources (UNODC + Dutch research in Sierra Leone)
• Medical solutions that can help Sierra Leoneans recover
• The real dangers of Kush, plus insights on alcohol and tramadol abuse during the holidays
📣 WHY THIS MATTERS:
Stigma destroys lives. Science saves them. If Sierra Leone wants solutions, we must replace shame with understanding, treatment, and empathy.
