Drugs.

I don't do them. Never have. Heck I haven't even took a swig of alcohol or took a drag off of a cigarette. I hope I never find out why drugs are so appealing. The actions involved alone make them lose their appeal to me.

Marijuana: Inhalation of hot smoke into your lungs.

Cocaine: Snorting white powder up your nose.

Heroin: Injection by needle of hot liquids.

None of these sound like comfortable ways of getting high. In fact they sound quite invasive. And obviously they're not good for you. These are the popular ones, but have you heard of Indian Bean? Scopolamine? Jenkem? Bannadine?

Here's Scopolamine, A.K.A. Colombian Devil's Breathe A.K.A. The Zombie Drug.



The Indian Bean is a bean pod that grows on the Southern Catalpa tree. Famous for the worms that live on them called Catalpa worms or Catawba worms. These worms are great to use as bait for fishing and destroy the tree's leaves annually. Native Americans are believe to have smoked the dried bean pods on the tree thus the name Indian Bean tree. And I've read there's some hallucinogenic effects.

Jenkem. Let me tell you about jenkem! Boy would it be awful to die from huffing jenkem. Jenkem is basically fermented fecal matter that is either left in bottles or bags for about a week and then huffed to get a hallucinogenic effect. I mean come on people, are your lives so bad that you stoop so low as to huff crap gas just to get away from it all for a while?

The gas that they huff is Hydrogen Sulfide, and will kill you if you take in too much of it. Anybody watch Dirty Jobs? Remember when Mike went down into a sewage treatment plant to clean off a huge sewage pump? That's the same stuff they were worried about and had to clear out for a little while because of an alarm. It makes me happy to know that those who do it have to have the taste of butt mud in their mouths for the better part of a week.

Bannadine is a chemical derived from banana peels. I dunno how you extract it but once you have it you smoke it and it makes for a hallucinogenic trip as well. But alas, this one is a hoax and doesn't work, in fact bannadine doesn't even exist. However, bananas do have tryptophan, the drug that's also in turkey that makes you sleepy, although there's much debate about it's effect as well.

My point? I'm amazed at the lengths people will go to get high.
