Charlotte May Lee , 21 , from Coulsdon , south London , was detained at Colombo airport .

She was accused of smuggling 1.5 million worth of the deadly drug into Sri Lanka .

It's made by spraying leaves with a mixture containing synthetic cannabinoids, formaldehyde, fentanyl, and formaldehyde.

According to some reports, the drug even contains ground-down human bones.

Dr de Bruijne says that dealers call kush 'fast cash' because of how rapidly users become addicted.

In Sierra Leone , an individual joint may cost as little as five leones ( 20 UK pence ) But users can smoke up to 30 per day - an enormous expense in a country where the average income is just 500 per year.

The UK and the Netherlands appear to be the most common origin points of pre-made kush.

It is not yet clear where the nitazenes in kush are being produced.
