"Jenkem" All The Rage In Zambia, Southern Africa
Lusaka, Zambia -- A new trend in drug abuse has hit Southern Africa -- the huffing of gases from fermented fecal material scooped out of sewers in Lusaka, Zambia.
The drug, called Jenkem, causes auditory and visual hallucinations and its use is quickly spreading from its home in Zambia to other parts of the Southern African continent where persons, desperate to get high and too poor to afford glue or paint, have been left inhaling the smell of their own fecal matter.
"With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with Jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life," Luke Mpande, a Jenkem user, told the BBC, "It lasts about an hour."
The drug is made by defecating in a bottle and then urinating in it, or, alternately, scooping a mixture of fecal material and urine from an open sewer. A balloon is placed on top of the jar containing the waste material, and the jar is allowed to sit in the hot sun for several days until it ferments, forcing gas into the balloon. The contents of the balloon is then inhaled.

Sniffa skit?
Billigt och enkelt att få tag på är det ju åtminstone.
