Jenkem: The New Recreational Inhalant Among High Schools
Inhaling Human Feces Fumes
For many teenagers, the use of "cheese" and other homemade drugs has become wildly popular. With media campaigns, however, many parents are keeping abreast of the street drug patterns, the symptoms of the newest street drugs, and can work to identify when their child may be at risk.
Just as quickly as parents become familiar with street and recreational drugs, there is always something new on the horizon. The latest "craze" in recreational and street drugs among high school students is an inhalant known as "jenkem". As a noxious gas that can be created right in your own backyard, you may be surprised to learn that project is not intended for a science project at school but, instead, the development of a new recreational drug for your child and his high school friends.
Jenkem is also commonly known under the names of Winnie, mighty, butthash and even devil's chocolate. As an inhalant of noxious fumes, jenkem is created using human feces and human urine, fermented in a jar, capturing the gas in the top of the jar or in a balloon, and then inhaling the fumes to elicit a high.
While quite a disgusting thought, it is important to understand the health risks involved with inhaling jenkem. Because many bacterial, fungal and even viral infections are passed through human feces and urine, your child may be placing themselves at risk for disease; disease well beyond that of a complication with inhaling feces fumes.
"Sniffing sewage" as many drug prevention trainers refer to jenkem, can elicit specific hallucinogenic responses. Individuals who create this noxious gas, using sewer waste or their own human feces, commonly report the fumes elicit a feeling of euphoria, dissociation, in addition to strong hallucinations. What once began on the streets of Africa, has made its way into high schools across the United States.
As you manage your high school student's daily activities, and work to stay aware of the latest health risks associated with drug use, like that found in "cheese", remember that illicit drugs are evolving. In this current change of drug scene, many high school students are turning to inhalants and the use of their own human feces may provide just the high they are looking for in a new noxious gas known as jenkem.

My sister died from a jenkem OD
Do you all believe everything you read on the internet without even questioning if it is real or not? If you took a couple minutes to actually see if this was true or not you would realize that the whole "Jenkem Scare" started from a message board post by a 14yr old boy on a drug website of him saying that he was going to try it out. This drug is being abused in small towns in Africa, but there hasn't been one case in the states of this to happen. The boy made a picture of his supposed Jenkem which turned out to be a mixture of flour, beer, water and nutella. The sheriff memo which is widely spread through the internet which was in turn an exaggeration (much like this article) to scare the very gullible public...ie. drug propaghanda. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Jenkem_moral_panic For the easy wiki look up.
