Is indole the substance behind the urban myth regarding a psychedelic drug obtained from human excrement?

Question

I heard about this recently. Apparently, the story is circulating that some 'adventurous' folks have tried getting high off of human waste. Very dangerous, I would say. "Bartender, I'll have another e-coli martini, and make it a DOUBLE!"

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Yeah, people do that.

It's called Jenkem, and you make it by crapping in a bottle and leaving it in the heat for a few days to ferment. Then you open the bottle and smell it, the fumes containing what you need to get the high.

Answer 3

I would not even go there- No pun intended.
