I was kinda partial to Leroy Jenkems myself, but I am nerdish

I'm guessing they're called Jenkies.....
Can't fucking wait until the homeless find out about this, balloons will be locked up with the spray paint...

Then again, the streets here will be a bit cleaner....

This sounds like a survey about the drug habits of middle schoolers in the early 1980's where info was provided about a number of drugs, including a completely fabricated one (it might have been called "wagon wheels").  Kids were asked to read the descriptions then answer a short quiz & survey about how their experiences or lack of experiences compared to what was described.  Any survey with a "yes" to the question "have you taken wagon wheels" was discarded.  I would imagine that this might serve the same purpose, or be an excellent prank on the pre-meth set.

If I smell enough of my own putrid farts will it make me high? I hope I haven't been wasting my money on weed all these years.

Yes indeed, that looks sweeter than Yoo Hoo.

Still, I'd prefer some wagon wheels - anything that tells me
"you've got to grin to get it in" has a good chance of getting bitten.

If you are supposed to inhale the gas why is that kid in the bottom right picture got a big fucking straw in his mouth?

Oh the hell they will. Every alley in the mission, every little spot of sunlight off the paths in GG park will be filled with freshly brewing bottles. Walking in the loin will become even more of a olfactory force of will.

You're right, I hadn't considered that, not something I want to ponder too much. 

I do wonder how someone could market this shit.  Maybe in those purty lil' perfume bottles?

No one forced whitey to inhale.

Well they need something to cancel out the stench of the meth labs (which by the way, were not created in Africa, Forti, you fucking 'tard.)

This seems like an idea for Mythbusters...

Oh heck, I just want to see them putting shit and piss in a coke can then trying to get high off of it on National TV.

God, wtf is with people.  Take a hit off the Poop Pipe...

Read the fine print, counselor.

Jenkem is used by street children in Lusaka, Zambia as a substitute for ordinary inhalants such as glue or petrol. According to anecdotal sources and still unconfirmed media reports, Jenkem is as of November 2007 in the process of attaining a foothold among US teenagers

....and?

Kind of like the kids who creep up to cows in the middle of the night, wait for them to shit, catch the shit mid air in a bag and huff away.

This is just the lazy way, the stay in the house way.

I am so out of touch with today's youth.  A teacher recently explained to me that 'cutting' is the new outcry of choice for today's rich troubled youth.

Go figure.

I can see your comment could be interpreted that way, however you made what seemed a correction to a statement that wasn't uttered.  And I felt like being pedantic.

I know black tweakers. And ecstasy freaks.

Welcome to the Boomtown of Glitter Gulch.

I want to buy a "Jenkem" colored shirt.

Personally, I find it odd that they describe "the most vivid hallucinations (of 'past events')...occurring [up to] 20 minutes after inhalation." I've been wracking my brain trying to think what might be the end products of elimination/ferment/decomp that could accomplish this. Not even Snopes is that helpful. Of course, it's still sorta the drug equivalent of fisting. I don't need to try it to know I don't want to.

I can’t imagine why kids in South Florida would use jenkim.  We made do with these when I lived there as a kid and found them quite satisfactory.
