Thats awfully foul and anyone trying it would deserve what they get, my vote is myth though, whats wrong with people these days
We've been discussing this over at the Lycaeum too. It is, indeed, a UL tale, and a pile of BS for sure. However, about half of the media mogul fear-mongers :twisted: seem to have jumped on this. Thus, just proving how stupid they really are. :roll:
Well... I did read once that the bad smell of poop was partly due to indole alkaloids.
Yes, but the UL does not concern smoking the dried shit, but rather huffing the vapors. Indoles do not readily vaporize off at room temperature. The UL may well be based upon stories about poor African kids huffing sewage, but but the idea of it being popular among kids in the USA in utter nonsense. :roll:
Someone somewhere suggested that the intoxicating effect could be the result of industrial waste being dumped into the "municipal sewage system" (or whatever they have there).
There was actually a shit sniffing episode on X Files waay back ;)
In 2003 i was having a discusiion with the then boyfriend of my sister
He was from KL and was very keen to know how to identify the shrooms he'd encountered back in Malaysia
He told me stories about this practice among youth in Northern Malaysia, near the border with Thailand
so either the myth went global at least 6 years ago - and made it to the drug addled youth of KL and Nth Peninsular malaysia
or there is an element of truth in it
