Actually, there are programs at some sewage treatment facilities where the treated waste product is composted with wood products for a year or so and then sold as garden mulch. Works very well as a top dressing. Would I put it on my cannabis plants? Probably not, but only for psychological reasons....compost from those programs would be fine. My greatest concern with that product was the level of heavy metals. Where I got mine, the MSDS sheet was fine, but in higher population areas, might have a higher concentration of householder cleaners, etc. (I try and stay fairly organic.)
Google "sewage treatment facilities" + mulch or compost. You might find a program close to you.

ill stick to azamite and kelp tho
ever heard of Milorganite? Processed sludge from the Minneapolis/St.Paul sewage sys. May contain some heavy metals.
However if you know industrial waste isn't in it, I would say it's safe....enough. I use dog, bat chicken, horse, goat...manures. Use what you have. If you're a fisherman, I couple of carcasses at the bottom of your hole is good. Just like the indigenous people taught the Pilgrims...
I'm with MountainGarden and Shizz on this. I'm told it's OK to use "milorganite" as it is called (thanx Azoned), but I'm also told Bull nuts are good eating. I'm thinking I'll stick with a ribeye. Human feces is chock full of pathogens, most notably E. Coli. WHY would someone in THIS country even think about it? I can see in under-developed 3rd world countries where it might start looking good as an alternative fert, but JEESUS!! I just cant get my mind around that one.
