Intervention by the police and fire service
It took the intervention of the police and fire service to forcibly bring down the man who reportedly looked high on some drug suspected to be Tramadol. “What we have been told is that he is mentally challenged and also this was his second attempt climbing to the top of the network towers in the area.
He has been dressing like a military personnel, it is not clear if he was a soldier,” an eyewitness recounted to Starr FM.
Another Tramadol abuse victim
Already, the unapproved use of this drug coupled with its attendant effects has seen the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) embark on an intensified campaign against the smuggling of the drug. Checks show that the approved dosage for a patch of Tramadol is 50 milligrams but developments recorded show Ghanaians are taking in 100 to 250 milligrams of the drug.
The reason(s) for taking these unapproved drugs are diverse.
Tramadol users show that whereas some of them take the drug to give them strength to work extra hours, others also feel the drug helps them have fun for prolonged hours with their partners.
