This week proves there is no shortage of retardage in the world—or in Tampa, for that matter. It was there that an internet rumor began about kids huffing their own waste. Says Fox News:

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office in Tampa, Fla., recently released a bulletin warning of a new drug threat in America — jenkem — made by fermenting human feces and urine and huffing the gas produced.

“We wouldn’t classify it as a drug so much because it’s feces and urine,” said Garrison Courtney, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration in Washington, D.C.

Yeah, thanks for that expert analysis, sarge. Though the bulletin was leaked on The Smoking Gun, evidence has come to light that the whole thing could come down to one kid:

A spokeswoman for the Collier County Sheriff’s Office acknowledged Tuesday that the report came from their office “just to share, see what’s out there” after a parent e-mailed the department. No incidents of jenkem’s use have been reported in the county, she said.

But nice of you to start the ball rolling, Collier County Sherriff’s Office.
