A desperate ploy to get high, or a hoax?
Police in Naples, Fla., are on the lookout for users of “jenkem,” a homemade drug created by allowing human urine and feces to ferment in a bottle with a balloon covering the opening. Users inhale the released methane gas from the balloon to get a “euphoric high similar to ingesting cocaine, but with strong hallucinations of times past,” according to a Collier County Sheriff’s Office bulletin.

Sounds like something that would come from my neck of the woods…I grew up in Collier County. Not surprised. Lots of rednecks over there with nothing better to do.
I think I’ve gotten high just by going into some public restrooms. Jenkem works!
Seriously, though. Methane isn’t intoxicating. You would think that abc could look that up before they run that news.
