The Rise Of Colorado: How A Killer Substance Became The Go-to Dr#g For Nigerians by Mazulu: 6:42pm On Mar 22, 2022
At about the time the world mourned Kobe Bryant aka Black Mamba, a different kind of Black Mamba was quietly influencing the lives of a growing number of young Nigerians.

The name Black Mamba as it was initially called has now been dumped for the widely used Colorado or Colos for short.

Unknown to most of its users, it is not a plant, but a chemical that is sprayed on dried herbs. The herbs can then be rolled in papers and smoked like regular marijuana or stored in cartridges which can be used through vaping. At first glance, the dried herbs look just like regular marijuana.

Going on to earn the compounds the moniker “synthetic weed or marijuana” which has gone on to give it some form of “credence,” as acceptance of Marijuana is gradually on an upward trajectory.

They are reported to be 2-100 times more potent than regular marijuana, depending on the mood or experience of the chemist preparing the mix.

For a more relatable comparison, marijuana is like Heineken, while synthetic cannabinoids can be compared to absinthe or prohibition-age moonshine.

The reason for its potency is that, unlike THC which does not fully bind to its receptors, synthetic cannabinoids bind very tightly to the receptors going on to create a more potent effect on the user.
