Could It Possibly Be True Department — New African High?
An Agence France Presse (AFP) report filed from Kano, Nigeria, this week takes the search for a new high to a new low. According to the usually reliable AFP, dopers in the Nigerian north are using lizard excrement to get off. The lizard dung is drunk in a cocktail with laundry detergent or in a tea, or smoked with tobacco or cannabis. “I no longer have to spend much money on drugs since I discovered the efficacy of lizard excrement,” 28-year-old Kano resident Ado Kabir told AFP. “A lot of drug users are moving on to lizard excrement. It’s easy to find and efficient in its effect,” he said. “The effect is indeed exhilarating.” Kano preferred his lizard dung in a drink mixed with water and a blue laundry detergent, he said. “When mixed with ‘blue’ in water, it produces a strong effect similar to the effect of drinking strong whisky to excess on a hot day. People who are too keen on their health boil the mixture and filter it before drinking. It has a potassium taste and is really good,”
