If ripping out my eyes would cause me to unread that, I would.
Good god, man!
Holy shit (no pun intended), I literally thought the same thing, Levislade: "GOOD ...GOD!"
i want the name and the address of the first person that came up with the idea of gettin high on dookey so i can go over there and slap them twice..
Clearly we need to make human shit illegal. Think of the children!
I've never in my life been so glad that I actually enjoy my own state of consciousness.
Oh. Dear. Gawd. Please, someone ship all your drugs to Namibia so that they don't find a way to make the vomit in my mouth some kind of drug.
This sounds like a possible hoax to me, but my desire to know more is far outweighed by my desire to not think about this ever, ever again.
Best hoax ever! Whomever thought this one up in the hopes that dumb stoners everywhere would actually believe it and start trying to inhale their own feces: you rule.
Insert somethingawful barfing emoticon here.
Poor kids get high to take the feeling of hunger away.
If you were starving you would make drugs out of poop too.
They got me hooked on poo, Man!
From what I just read about methane, inhaling it is just going to cause you to suffocate.
Now, start huffing ethylene, and you'll prophesy like you're at Delphi.
Wait til South Park gets ahold of this!
if this is a hoax - it roped in the BBC in 1999...
sorry, dropped the link to the BBC story on Jenkem from 1999
@3
The first to come up with the idea was James brown and Grandmaster Flash.
But then, most of hip hop is barely tolerable whilst in the depths of a jenkem doo doo high. I always knew those gang bangers had shit for brains.
@15 - still don't buy it. Are there any chemists out there explaining how shit becomes a drug? These kids could just be huffing industrial chemicals that found their way into the sewage system, if they actually exist and are huffing anything.
Jenkem is prolly better injected
I'm skeptical that the vats at any sewage treatment plant are accessible to passersby. I grew up near the Lynnwood plant in Edmonds and though you could see into the sludge baths from atop a nearby hillside, there was no way to get anywhere near close enough to take a sample.
And wouldn't it be easier to collect your own waste anyway? [For the record, I asked Jeff not to post this at lunch time.]
I think reading this has already ruined any and all meals I'll have this weekend.
Myth? Nothing on Erowid about Jenkem, which is odd for that site.
Google search "Jenkem Myth" turns up a surprising number of white supremacy groups and the usual blogs linking to blogs asking this same question.
Other variable term searches return that BBC story from '99. But one oft referenced story isn't enough for Truth.
An article from the UN circa '01 gives a credible reference to Jenkem abuse in Africa, but doesn’t answer if it is a myth or not.

However, this US government site referencing a Finnish study does show that indole is produced by sewage in an air free environment, an environment which a small plastic bottle would create during sunlight fermentation (and not in an air exposed sewage treatment vat/plant). I’m not sure if indole can be suspended in a gas, such as methane or other gaseous sewage bi-products. Or at least can be held in suspension long enough so the ‘huff’ can get into the blood via the lungs. Maybe Science knows?

I'm so happy I can afford sanitary drugs.
Gives whole new meaning to "this is some good shit".
This shit is dope. This dope is shit. Imagine the fun!
Reminds me of the Lenny Bruce bit about the fecalphile looking to score some shit. "What are you doing?" "Oh, just .. looking around. (sings) Looking around, for the curly brown .. "
BOL! This post seems to be the very reason that the term Barf Out Loud was coined by my friends and I a few months back. The universe knew we were going to need it.
Geez, all this time I thought I was the only one!
It's a fake. The intensely detailed description of the trip is a giveaway. It's just methane. No trip, just stupor.
I'd rather try to smoke a banana peel.
Well dress me in tiny clothes, and throw me in a ditch, and steal my vote! I wish I were still alive for this one...
