 In this age of high innovation where a lie commonly spreads exponentially quicker than the truth, it’s simple to see exactly how moms can be swindled as well as duped when it comes to the security of their children. however fear as well as hysteria commonly come at a cost – particularly when moms are told their youngsters are doing some type of deadly new drug. Strawberry Meth, Vodka Tampons, Butt Chugging, Jenkem; these are a few of the latest wild reports being force-fed to parents, however it turns out that your youngsters aren’t doing any type of of these drugs.

Strawberry Meth

In 2007 the Carson City Sheriff’s office in Nevada conducted a raid that uncovered pink-hued methamphetamine or crystal meth. While medications like meth, cocaine as well as heroin vary in color depending upon techniques of manufacture, additives, etc, agents apparently found a bottle of Strawberry quick close-by as well as presumed it must have been utilized to “flavor” the meth.

The story was originally reported by the Nevada charm in January of 2007, (1) quickly spreading to ended up being the source of a considerable amount of media interest regarding a new medication trend called Strawberry Meth.

Numerous stories surfaced of medication dealerships prowling playgrounds as well as providing free strawberry meth to get kids hooked on the drug. reporters issued warnings to parents that strawberry meth was being marketed to youngsters since it tasted much better than routine meth as well as appeared like candy, as well as that medication traffickers were determined for a new advertising ploy. (2)

Eventually the DEA issued public statements supporting the requirement for public concern about strawberry meth, as well as regulations was passed to provide for much more serious penalties for traffickers of such drugs.

But before the year was over the story was called into concern as well as no proven situations were ever really provided in response. In a comprehensive news function for join Together, Bob Curley explains exactly how the DEA as well as the White home lastly admitted that they might not discover any type of situations of flavored meth in the United States. (3)

Nevertheless, the erroneous stories were difficult to retract as well as the strawberry meth hoax made its method across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom, triggering fear among parents as well as authorities there. The story was officially debunked in the UK soon after, with blame for the spread of this myth put on one poorly informed authorities policeman in Oxfordshire. obviously the policeman checked out about the supposed medication in an email as well as quickly passed it on. (4)

Interestingly enough, email is keeping this myth to life today – with the assist of social network as well as journalists that neglect to inspect facts before reporting a story. (5) however the reality is available for anyone who conduct even cursory research.

Moms, your youngsters are not doing strawberry meth since it doesn’t exist.

Vodka Tampons

To date there have been zero verified situations of “vodka tampon” utilize resulting in intoxication or injury. in spite of extensive media protection of the subject that particularly targeted parents, almost all reports of this supposed intoxication technique come from one poorly informed institution resource officer. This resource policeman was interviewed by a reporter from KHPO in Phoenix, who then ran a story that has since served as a main source in spite of never providing any type of evidence other than the words of the resource officer. (6)

In the KHPO story, Chris Thomas – the institution resource policeman – even went so far as to state that teens utilizing vodka tampons to get drunk was “not isolated to any type of school, any type of city, any type of monetary area; this is everywhere.” As a result, the story quickly spread up until it was lastly called into concern as no verified situations might be uncovered anywhere in the United States.

In fact, some were so skeptical of this story that they decided to test if the “vodka tampon” idea truly worked. Betsy Phillips, who blogs at small feline Pants, determined that it’s impossible to insert alcohol soaked tampons into either the rectum or the vagina just since by its extremely nature the product physically stops working for this purpose. (7) other testers have made similar attempts, as well as for those who were successful in the preliminary insertion, the burning as well as pain that promptly ensues triggers the experimenters to quickly eliminate the offending tampon; although the pain lingers for a long time afterward. just do a quick browse on YouTube as well as discover out for yourself.

Moms, your youngsters are not utilizing vodka tampons since it’s not truly feasible to do so.

Butt Chugging

In the united states there have been two documented situations of butt chugging – the method of consuming alcohol via the rectum – as well as one of those situations may not have really occurred.

In the very first case, Tammy Werner administered a sherry enema to her husband, who had throat problems that made drinking alcohol impossible. Michael Werner was a serious alcoholic as well as so had taken to “drinking” booze with his butt, however on this event the alcohol enema killed him. Charges at first filed against Tammy were later dropped, however not before the media had chosen up on the story as well as spread the idea of butt chugging. (8)

The second situation may not be a situation at all. Alexander Broughton was 20 years old this past September when his fraternity siblings from the university of Tennessee dumped him at a regional emergency room. Broughton experienced from serious alcohol poisoning, as well as authorities directed to evidence that he as well as the other boys may have been “butt chugging.”

The Broughton situation triggered a media feeling that quickly dwarfed that of the recent vodka tampons scare. However, Broughton denies that he or anyone else inserted alcohol into his rectum as well as has threatened to take action against individuals accountable for the spread of this story. (9)

So right here we have one situation of a serious alcoholic restricted to alcohol enemas by a health and wellness condition, as well as one situation that may not have occurred at all. as well as while anecdotal evidence suggests that different kinds of enemas may be typical in the homosexual population – including coffee enemas, herbal enemas, as well as potentially wine enemas, this is not a pattern or even an infrequent occurrence amongst kids, teens as well as young adults.

Moms, the possibilities that your youngsters are butt chugging are so little that it’s not worth fretting about.

Jenkem

Jenkem is potentially the vilest of all techniques of getting high, as well as it does indeed exist. Some orphan kids in Zambia have established a process whereby they get high from human feces as well as urine. reports have surfaced of these kids scraping sludge up from the sewers as well as bottling it to produce methane as well as other gases. By inhaling these gases the kids are purportedly able to acquire an intense high. (10)

Reports in Africa somehow led to hysteria that jenkem had made its method to the United States, triggering some journalists to warn parents to odor their children’s breath in order to determine if they’d been utilizing this type of drug. However, jenkem in the us turns out to be similar to strawberry meth, vodka tampons as well as butt chugging: it’s just not being done. as of the date of publishing of this article, there have been no verified situations of jenkem in America.

In fact, most of the news reports as well as web sites that published material indicating American youngsters were doing jenkem have since been redacted or taken down. reports that still exist function a characteristic lack of any type of supporting info or evidence. (11)

Moms, hype about jenkem being a pattern among your youngsters is a gassy tons of crap.

In order to assist stop the spread of these kinds of unsubstantiated stories that only serve to amp-up a mother’s stress and anxiety about the security of her children, they should be vetted before sharing. Specifically, look for trustworthy links, citations or references that support the story. Myth-debunking resources like Snopes as well as metropolitan legend are likewise excellent methods to tell if a story has any type of merit or not.

Finally, keep in mind that news sources – including your regional news that you trust as well as depend on – commonly get stories wrong just by sharing what other journalists never bothered to confirm in the very first place.

We’re all fallible as well as it’s simple to get worked up when the security of our kids is involved, however when it comes to these 4 supposed trends, you’re much better off fretting about something that really provides a genuine problem. These stories are mainly just fodder for news cannons, with as well many hectic moms getting caught in the unsuspecting crossfire.
