Shit is shit is shit..... I get a kick out of peoples 1st world knee jerk reaction to the suggestion of using humanure. Usually the first response is "no... disease". Which is true if you take into account that A) you are ingesting the plant fertilized with humanure & B) there is actual infected human fecal materiel on the part of the plant being ingested. There are many subsistence farmers in 3rd world countries who's families would starve to death if they didn't use every resource possible to grow crops. Including human waste. Trust me, living pathogens are not going to magically survive the combustion process 99% of us use to consume marijuana. Now you very well could get sick from handling your crop and then not washing your damned hands afterwards though....
Secondly, those who rattle off the "don't use carnivore/omnivore manure". Two of the most popular manures out there are Bat guano and chicken manure. Both of which are omnivorous. With the exception of strictly fruit eating bats. But most of the bat guano collected are from insectivorous bats. Worms are omnivores as well... don't seem many people throwing a shit fit over using their excrement on their plants.
All manures have the potential to harbor pathogens. The best way to deal with those is to properly compost the waste before using it to help cook out the bad stuff. Human waste is much to "hot" to use straight on a plant. You'll need to compost it to make it safe enough to use on your plants without literally burning the shit out of them.
All that said, with all the other easily accessible fertilizer options out there, I can 100% see most peoples aversion to using human waste. They just need to stick with "it grosses me out" though and quit trying to justify it past that with second hand regurgitated pseudo science. The gross out factor is reason enough.

Composted human waste is sold in many cities as a byproduct of sewage plants. Used it one time in Texas. No odor but I can guarantee it was not properly composted as my yard had squash, jalapenos, tomatoes and watermelons among identifiable plants - all volunteer. Pretty much turned me off for using it as it was a potential disease source.

If you had squash volunteering then I'd bet money it didn't come from the human doo doo. Our treatment plant mixes their "sludge" with ground garden waste collected by the city, composted and sold as a fertilizer. I feel pretty safe in assuming your municipality did the same thing and fucked up by not composting the green matter added to human portion of the product enough to kill off the seeds already in before being mixed with processed human waste.

i always thought it was the way humans digested there foods.. we tend to digest much more foods and nutrients than birds and bats and fish, therefore there is much less nutrients in our shit that would benefit a plant?
also, like already mentioned, animals that eat plants shit is usually better for nutrients that one's that do not.. meat gets broken down much quicker in the digestive track then veggies.. this is why veggies are said to be good ruffage..

Omnivorous manure is hotter because of the fact there is a higher concentration of digested proteins in it. Our excrement is far more nutrient rich than herbivorous manure based solely on the varied diet we have. More nutrients are more immediately available in our manure as well because of the more complete digestion process. But it has to be composted to mellow out the high nitrogen content and to kill off any possible pathogens. Herbivores digestion process is very inefficient but it starts the process of break the plant material down faster then just letting it rot on it's own. If you wanted to fertilize with alfalfa you'd be better off just composting the raw alfalfa and using the end product. herbivores just do it for us in a day or two vs 6 weeks to a year. "Green Manure" beats herbivore manure in nutrients available for the plants than herbivore manure hands down. Herbivores just do the work of gathering, breaking up via mastication and digestion and depositing it in little piles for us to pick up. All herbivore are is walking plant composters.
