this is so distasteful, almost to be ridiculed as the “worst drug idea of the week“. at the same time, i suppose it’s a good thing, as youth workers, to stay current on what kind of nutjob ideas teens are living into. man. “the taste stays with them for days or weeks.”
UPDATE: dang, i shoulda known better. it’s a hoax. i found it on a site that normally checks that out prior to posting.
According to wiki, whilst Zambian street kids have been using it for a while, the US stories may be a hoax…
this would appear to be something of a hoax.

Worst drug idea of the decade, but…

It’s possibly a fake, but no-one is quite sure because it hasn’t been properly documented, predictably the wikipedia page contains a whole wealth of documentation about it… I’ve read stuff in the papers over the last week saying both that it’s a hoax and that it’s very real. It’s use in America is probably very minor.
who would want to inhale poop?
I found this article on last week.
snopes.com says not so fast there…

I’m surprised that you still posted this, believing it was true, with the small print:
