We were too busy getting high ourselves to notice that the dudes over at The Smoking Gun beat us to that shit-huffing phenomenon that we blogged about last week. According to both The Smoking Gun and—as of earlier today—Boing Boing, the department should have referenced Snopes before ruling it out. Whatever—I think it’s real. And fucked up. Check the full story and award winning photos after the break. If you’ve ever inhaled your own shit fumes, please let me know about it.
Here’s what they had to say:
NOVEMBER 5–We’re not sure what they’re inhaling down in Collier County, Florida, but here’s the bizarre “information bulletin” prepared by the local sheriff’s intelligence bureau about a purported “new drug” favored by the kids. It’s an inhalant called “Jenkem,” and causes hallucinations and a “euphoric high.” Of course, as the bulletin notes, Jenkem users dislike its sewagey taste, which can last for days.
That’s because Jenkem’s active ingredients are urine and fecal matter, hence its street names like “Butthash” and “Fruit from Crack Pipe.” Click here to see a video report on Jenkem, via Breitbart.tv. We’ve tried to speak with the bulletin’s author, Lieutenant Al Ganich, but he has not returned TSG calls. Perhaps he’s realized that his “CONFIDENTIAL” September 26 report–which is authentic, according to a sheriff’s official–may be itself full of shit. Ganich’s alert reminds us of a New York Fire Department memo from a chief who also apparently never heard of snopes.com. (1 page)
