By Izunna Okafor, Awka

A yet-to-be-identified lady has reportedly died in Anambra State after allegedly smoking Colorado, a psychotropic drug, popularly known as “Colos” — the eponym for the popular slang “On Colos”.

The incident reportedly happened over the weekend in Awka, the State capital, where the lady was said to have repeatedly smoked the psychotropic and acted in strange ways before finally giving up the ghost.

This was corroborated by a video and voice note currently trending on the social media about the incident.

While the video shows the lifeless body of the victim lying close to the Y-Junction Axis of the UNIZIK Junction-Okpuno road, the masculine voice note of an eyewitness that accompanies it explained that the she became unconscious and started misbehaving after smoking the dangerous drug, even to the point of perambulating the street stack naked.

This, the eyewitness said, made some sympathizers to hold and assist her with a cloth to cover up her unclothedness. The sympathizers were also said to have fed her with enough soaked garri to douse the effect of the substance on her.

It was however, reported that shortly after she began to regain her consciousness, she went and smoked the Colorado again, which eventually led to her collapse, downfall and consequent death along the ever-busy road.

Her corpse was also said to have been taken away by her people after some passersby recognized her and invited her family members, who came and evacuated her corpse.

When recently contacted by this reporter, Izunna Okafor, the State Commandant of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Anambra, Mr. Daniel Onyishi described such incident as one of the numerous inherent dangers and consequences of drug abuse and how it destroys the youths.

According to him, Colorado is a psychotropic and one of the dangerous drugs that have rendered and still render many people useless in the society, adding that ‘colos’ is also addictive, while its effect is instantaneous, as it flows straight to the bloodstream, affecting one's mental wellness.

The NDLEA Boss said that such things are what the Agency has been preaching against through its various sensitization programs in secondary schools and other public places in the State, including through the radio program “NDLEA and You” which holds from 11.am to 12.pm every Tuesday on ABS 88.5FM.

“That is why everybody should stay off drugs and join us to fight drug abuse. If you know anyone who uses or deals on drugs, make NDLEA know. People should not be harbouring such persons or take drug as a business,” Onyishi emphatically stated in a telephone interview with this reporter.

she don COLO

First timers experience.
You will beg God for mercy if you smoke it for the first time.
The first time i puffed it thrice, i mean long drags. My legs started shaking, it felt like I was spinning at first, then i started seeing things, i mean strange figures, it felt like i left my body, and was looking at my body standing on its own. I don't know if that's what de@th feels like. Lol. I muttered a word of prayer in that fvcked up state.
My friend was in more serious trouble than i was. He told me he could see me through the wall, cos i was in the living room, and he was in the kitchen. Lol

A large number of Nigerian youths are suffering from the intake of Drugs and Harmful substances. So many of these affected youths wish to quit these health damaging practices but lack the necessary motivation and support as this Drugs/Substances addiction is fueled by un-employment resulting in idleness. The Federal Government is urged to hastily address this raising menace as this hazardous trait is synonymous to Nigeria sitting on a Keg of gun powder smiley

That's odd, I used to be hooked on Colos for a while, but after prayers I kicked the habit, but I've never heard anyone dying from it, not defending it, but it's bad anyway. It brings an intense feeling of doom
How long were you hooked? Be alert, prayers are not enough

1 year but I haven't touched weed in a year plus, I was depressed, isolated and going through stuff and rather than dealing with my issues, I got addicted to it, because I'm not used to feeling emotional about things, I quit after listening to Pastor selma and visiting the gym. It's one of my biggest regrets, It made me mellow and less passionate about life.

People react differently to drugs, even common Panadol. One thing you fail to realise is that those drugs like meth (ice), colorado (synthetic cannabis) etc are all chemically derived so there is a huge possibility of malfunction within the body...

Furthermore the human brain controls all activities within the body, if it shuts down, your body shuts down and I think that was what happened in the lady's case.

Even though I get your explanation but it's hard to believe someone rescued from mental health issues will "instantly" go back to smoke same substance that nearly got her insane. In most cases once rescued it creates scare that will take time to normalise and go back. I doubt what the writer explained is exactly what transpired.

Sliding back to the habit most times are possibility. Yeah many of the users if not checked will go back if addicted but the story says "immediately" the girl was rescued by giving her antidote she went back instantly to smoke another one that's where I suspect "a bit of extemporaneous reportage" which can actually put a question mark on the credibility of the event.

I want to believe the body respond to these drugs differently.

It's like how some people would almost die if they drink milk or sugar.
