Leapin’ lizards! The things people will do to get high By GLENN E. RICE The Kansas City Star A 21-year-old Kansas City, North, man arrested in October is accused of possessing a controlled substance.
Clay County authorities are worried that the unusual type of substance — the venom of the Sonoran Desert toad of the Colorado River — in the case against David S. Theiss is becoming popular.
Officials accuse Theiss of possessing the toad with the intent to extract the venom to smoke it.
Clay County Prosecutor Daniel White said the case is an example of the elaborate lengths some people are going to in order to get high.
White said possessing the toad is not illegal, but investigators, not familiar with the method, had to research the toad to make sure it is not a protected species.
White said Theiss was charged after investigators determined he allegedly possessed the toad with the intent to get high off its venom.
White said the toad has gained popularity because it secretes venom on its back when the creature becomes angry or frightened — a venom that contains a hallucinogen called bufotenine.
The hallucinogen and what authorities refer to as “toad smoking” are illegal, White said.
Authorities found the toad and other items when they went to a Northland residence to investigate a suspected meth lab. They later arrested Theiss and charged him with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possessing drug paraphernalia — the toad.
For years, White said, people experimented with “toad licking,” but toad smoking is considered a substitute. To do so, a person heats the frog’s venom, which breaks down its toxins and preserves the hallucinogen. Then it’s dried and smoked.
White said the use of a toad and extracts from natural plants to get high are becoming popular. He said there are some Internet sites that feature an instructional video on how to extract the toad’s venom.
“It is easier to get it, and law enforcement might not immediately know you use it to get high,” White said. “It’s sort of a New Age way to get high. You convince yourself it is OK because it is something you get naturally from our environment.
“There are a lot of things that are created naturally but they are still not legal.”
Theiss is also accused of possessing mescaline, a controlled substance extracted from a cactus.
Still, White said, there are others who may be taking an even more extreme measure to get high — such as sniffing fermented human waste.
Vicky Ward, manager of prevention services at Tri-County Mental Health Services, said she has seen e-mail warnings about kids getting high off a drug called jenkem. The drug, made from fermented feces and urine, isn’t prevalent in the area, but kids are familiar with it, she said.
“We work with a lot of youths and we ask them whether anyone has tried it and they said no,” said Ward, who belongs to service e-mail groups for prevention specialists. “They (the youths) have heard about it because it is on the Internet.”
Ward said Snopes.com, a Web site that investigates urban legends, indicates the use of jenkem is undetermined.
“Kids get ideas that later turn out to be unfounded, but you will get some idiots who will try anything,” she said.

Hahaha. Anyone had one of these toads? I've wanted tone for awhile now.
in other news... I heard there was a big jenkem bust just a couple blocks from my house. They had tapped into the city's sewage and were mass producing a shit load of it.
The jenkem problem is getting out of hand in my area... porta-potties have to be locked at night otherwise in the morning there will no doubt be a passed out jenkem-head in there.

well no fucking shit, even though kids still are learning wrong from right, the kid would have to be pretty fucking retarded to inhale his own piss/shit fumes to "get high"... if there gonna take all that effort in making some shit might as well take a bottle from the medicine cabinet that saws "cough syrup" that would taste a fuck load better then inhaling shit fumes... im rambling im done.

fastfred said: No, it seems pretty real in some respect.
Apparently the BBC published a story in 99' that they were doing this shit in Africa. They have these quotes from the BBC story...
"With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with Jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life." -Luke Mpande, 16
Then some kid writes on totse how to make this shit and writes a trip report.
So that was the basis for the cop bullshit report.
Now the totse kid has since said it was a hoax and that he just mixed some stuff together to make it look like shit.
Finally, like Nickio said, this totse kid has his face all over the news huffing shit.

The colorado Rock Toad, or Bufo Alvarius, secretes 5-Meo-DMT.
Technically, we are all guilty of manufacturing DMT, as it exists in our pineal gland and can be induced to secretion during meditation, moments of extreme pain/stress/joy, such as birth, giving birth, death, or near death.
So yes, the chemical you will get very, very high on before you die is very illegal, and can be found in a very rare toad.
Who the fuck wouldn't want to lick one of those? I tried to buy one in college but they were illegal in my state. Damn overprotective laws. It's illegal to die, and soon it will be illegal to hoard your own waste in jars, for fear that you are manufacturing jenkem.
WHAT KIND OF WORLD IS THIS WHEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HOARD YOUR WASTE IN PICKLE JARS??????
