Congo niggas smoking catalytic converters

  1. #1
    KINSHASA, Sept 27 (Reuters) - A new craze for a drug derived from crushed vehicle exhaust enhancements is rattling authorities in Kinshasa, triggering a campaign to stamp out the concoction and a related rash of car part thefts.

    In August police rounded up and paraded nearly 100 alleged dealers and users of the drug "bombe", which means powerful in the local Lingala language, following a call to action by Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi.

    "This social phenomenon calls for collective responsibility by the whole nation," Tshisekedi told ministers at a weekly meeting.

    In an abandoned shack in a suburb of Kinshasa a young man seeking oblivion slits open a bag of brown powder, blending it with a couple of crushed pills using the back of a spoon, before snorting the "bombe" mixture, with his friends.

    Within minutes the trio are swaying slowly, scratching themselves in a catatonic state that experts in Congo say can cause users to stand motionless for hours, or sleep for days.

    "We used to drink very strong whiskey… we were restless and we would hurt people," said Cedrick, a 26-year-old gang leader in a white designer shirt.

    "But with bombe, it calms you down, you get tired, you stay somewhere standing up or sitting down for a very long time. When you're done, you go home without bothering anyone."

    Man shows a substance known as "bombe", a mix of catalytic converters' crushed honeycomb and pills, in Kinshasa

    Car owners, police, and drug experts aren't so sanguine.

    The brown powder is obtained from crushing the ceramic honeycomb core of automotive catalytic converters, the device that cuts the emission of toxic gases in vehicle exhaust pipes.

    Mechanics blame rising demand for the drug on a rash of thefts of catalytic converters, which are coated with metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium.

    Kinshasa-based mechanic Tresore Kadogo says between five and 10 clients come to him every day with the same problem.

    "We check underneath the car and the catalytic converter is gone already, it's been cut off," Kadogo said. "This drug bombe is hurting our clients, especially recently."

    Users mix the crushed honeycomb with vitamin pills and typically add sleeping tablets, sedatives or smoke it with tobacco, but nothing is known about how it works, or its long-term effects, said Dandy Yela Y'Olemba, country director of the World Federation against Drugs.

    (would embed the image but it's some wacky format and downloading converting it is too much effort)

    "It's not a substance made for us to consume," Yela said. "Are we engines, or are we humans?"

    This synthetic drug, which circulates for a few years in the country and causes hallucinations, is extremely addictive. It would be a mixture of various drugs such as heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine, along with other toxic components such as rattex and, in some cases, antiretrovirals used for HIV treatment.

    A version challenged by some doctors, such as Professor Thavendran Govender of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Kwazulu Natal. After examining several samples of whoonga, he questioned the presence of antiretroviral drugs in this cheap drug, recalls the site Slate Africa. These, whose molecule would be too "heavy", would be impossible to smoke

    Maybe in Africa prices are lower but here scrap cat prices can be very high. Wouldn't it be better to sell them and buy some good real drugs.

    Yeah I'm surprised to hear there are catalytic converters in Africa. Sounds like the sort of thing you'd not want on your car over there.

    Lol africa always coming up with some wacky shit

    Remember when 'bluetoothing' was a thing..like one person would get a bag of dope [h] and shoot it and then they would take a rig and draw up their blood and give it to their buddy to inject, like that h didnt get diluted to 1/10000000th the second it entered a bloodstream.

    I remember when they were stealing all the antiretrovirals to mix into 'whoonga', it literally added nothing to the mix's effect but caused a shortage of AIDS drugs

    I remember the first Tintin book was set in the Congo and was super racist. They were such amazing books I Loved as a kid it's a sin they're so "problematic" now. Stephen Speilberg made one movie that did decent and they realized every other book had mad stereotypes in it.

    you have to remember they once had their women swallow stones, yes,

    STONES as contraceptives.

    those "women" were just like hens by the river bed, picking up round stones and put them into their mouth and swallow.
