"Jenkem (also jekem) is a narcotic recreational drug composed of noxious gas formed from fermented human sewage.[1] Having originally emerged amongst Zambian street children some time before the mid-1990s, Jenkem is according to widely reported anecdotal sources as of November 2007 in the process of attaining a foothold among US teenagers."

I think that I know of at least several methods for getting a 'high' and all of them sound better than this method.

Ot this one:

quote:

Jenkem

Claim: Bulletin warns that a new drug called Jenkem, made by fermenting raw sewage, is a "popular drug in American schools."

Status: False.

A Collier County, Florida, police informational bulletin about Jenkem was widely circulated via e-mail in October 2007, but evidence that jenkem use is a significant phenomenon in the U.S. (or indeed, anywhere in the world) or that the substance can even product the effects described is scant. The informational bulletin was apparently issued merely on the basis of a few high school students' having mentioned hearing about jenkem in schoolyard chat, and its contents originated with a source who said he had fabricated them:

I hope I never come across a rise in Jenkem usage.

not to worry about this "shit" in the hood. Our recreational drugs are Cartier glasses, $500 jackets, and $1500 hoopties with $5000 in paint and sounds.

Now you know the origin of the term "shit-faced." Methane huffing (sniffing) to get high is really nothing new. For the most part, the effects of inhalants mimic the effects of alcohol.

I particularly like the "subjects disliked the taste of sewage in their mouths" part. Who knew fermented shit tasted like, well, shit?
