Jenkem
Jenkem is an inhalant and hallucinogen created from fermented human waste.〔Fuller, Alexandra (2005). (We just want enough. ) ''National Geographic'', Volume 208, Issues 1-3, p. 119〕 In the mid-1990s, it was reported to be a popular street drug among Zambian street children. They would put the feces and urine in a jar and cover it with a balloon then let it ferment out in the sun, then afterwards they would inhale the fumes created.〔Donaldson, Aidan (2010). ''Encountering God in the Margins: Reflections of a Justice Volunteer.'' Veritas, ISBN 978-1-84730-220-5〕〔〔("African Children Orphaned by AIDS" ) Associated Press, 1999〕 In November 2007, anecdotal American media reports created the false impression that jenkem was a popular drug in American schools.〔Collier County Sherriff's Office (September 26, 2007). (Information Bulletin: New Drug - JENKEM. ) via ''The Smoking Gun''〕 Several sources reported that the increase in American media coverage was based on a hoax and on faulty Internet research."
==Description==
The name derives from Genkem, a brand of glues which had "become the generic name for all the glues used by glue-sniffing children" in South Africa, where the drug originated and is most popular on the African continent today.〔Cassere, Di (November 14, 2000). (Glue loses high to save street-kid addicts. ) ''The Independent''〕 In the book ''Children of AIDS: Africa's Orphan Crisis'' by Emma Guest, the making of jenkem is described: "fermented human sewage, scraped from pipes and stored in plastic bags for a week or so, until it gives off numbing, intoxicating fumes." The process is similarly described in a 1995 IPS report: "Human excreta is scooped up from the edges of the sewer ponds in old cans and containers which are covered with a polyethylene bag and left to stew or ferment for a week."〔 A 1999 BBC article refers to "the dark brown sludge, gathering up fistfuls and stuffing it into small plastic bottles. They tap the bottles on the ground, taking care to leave enough room for methane to form at the top."〔
The effects of jenkem inhalation last for around an hour and consist of auditory and visual hallucinations for some users.〔 In 1995, one user told a reporter it is "more potent than cannabis."〔 (reprinted in a Snopes.com (article on jenkem ), retrieved December 30, 2007.)〕 A 1999 report interviewed a user, who said, "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."〔 Fumito Ichinose, an anesthesia specialist in Boston who conducted a study on the effects of hydrogen sulfide gas, or "sewer gas," on mice, informed Salon.com that holding your breath, choking, or "the inhalation of gases like those produced from jenkem could result in hypoxia, a lack of oxygen flow to the body that could be alternately euphoric and physically dangerous."〔
