Brown-brown is a form of powdered cocaine, cut with powder from gun cartridges. Commonly given to child soldiers in West African armed conflicts,[1] the drug gained notoriety after it was used by Nicolas Cage's character, Yuri Orlov, in the 2005 film Lord of War.[2] Consumed by insufflation, the gunpowder in the drug irritates the bowels which increases aggression.[citation needed] It was mostly common amongst child soldiers in Sierra Leone. Brown-brown is the krio phrase for marijuana or heroin.[citation needed]
