Herland is Our Land

I have yet to start "Herland", a novel by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, but I will keep you updated on how it is coming along once I begin.

Jenkem

There is a dangerous new drug emerging in highschools throughout the nation. This drug is known as Jenkem. It has many slang names, such as Winnie, Leroy Jenkems, Fruit From the Crack Pipe, and Butthash. The phenomenon of Jenkem has spread from Africa, where kids take jars full of sewage (human waste) from the open sewers. They then place a balloon around the top of the jar, and place it in the sun for a few days. After the heat gets to it, and the sewage inside ferments, fumes will rise and be caught in the balloon. Kids then take this balloon, and strangely enough, inhale it. That's right, they inhale sewage fumes. After the initial blackout, the subject awakes to what is described as a "euphoric high with visions of lost loved ones." Unfortunately, children have said they dislike the taste of raw sewage in their mouths for days after taking the drug. I feel it is my duty to inform as many people as I can about this disgustingly dangerous drug, and prevent it from ever coming to Hills.
