New drug Whooga whammy

Whoonga whammy is a new and highly addictive drug cocktail.

Whoonga was originally called “sugars” has been around for a while thought to be confined to Chatsworth in Kwazulu Natal but is actually consumed throughout Durban. Whoonga is just a new name for sugars a well known addictive drug cocktail.

Sugars is rebranded and being sold under a different name Whoonga.

This name change has caused a lot of confusion recently, with some saying that whoonga is anti-retroviral medication crushed and smoked in a dagga joint.

While a typical whoonga concoction includes brown heroin, rat poison and ammonia, some distributors are now said to be adding tik, or methamphetamine, to the mix.

Meantime the drug dealers add all sorts of substances to the heroin, the primary ingredient, just to increase the mass of the drug when it’s sold and make the heroin go further. A lot of the stuff has no effect and users have no idea what’s going.

Tanzanians in the Cape used to bring it into the country and sell it. It was heroin, rat poison and ammonia and we used to call it whoonga, Aadding that the mixture would sometimes include over-the-counter products such as baking soda and headache tablets.

Sugars had become fashionable in Chatsworth and the more popular it became the harder the cops cracked down on the dealers. So people started calling it whoonga to confuse the cops.

Whoonga is a Tanzanian word and is what sugars is mostly called in the townships. Guys used to come from Umlazi to buy sugars wholesale, but they used to call it whoonga.

It’s so bad that when you are addicted you have to take it just to feel normal. You can’t function without it, can’t wake up in the morning. You can’t eat properly and you feel nauseous. Your joints hurt and I would be in pain until you took it again.

Normally this addiction turns to crime often just to support his habit.

The drug is a big problem – it’s everywhere now. It’s big in Chatsworth, but people are smoking it everywhere now.
