Jenkem in the office?

I’m a second year analyst at a BB (think BofA) and have recently started to make more work friends after flying under the radar during my first year. I was talking to an associate at lunch the other day and he brought up something called “jenkem”. Apparently, some people defecate into a water bottle, let it ferment, and inhale the fumes it creates. It creates a hallucinatory effect. My associate said it helps him stay up and keep good spirits while grinding hard late at night. To my surprise, several (new) first years in my group were aware of this and had already begun distilling their own jenkem.

Is this something new to you guys or is this common on The Street? I don’t want to seem out of the loop so I thought about bringing some of my own jenkem to the office but I don’t know how to contain the smell. My apartment smells like a sewer right now but I need to wait another day or two before I can take off the balloon and inhale it. Any advice on how to keep the smell contained?

Thanks

 

That's probably what perfected it tbh
