Most parents would be pleased to discover their young teen's interest in fresh vegetables but in Wichita Kansas, a more sinister use may be looming and public officials are looking to gain control before the entire city is consumed.
It's called O-holing, where teens describe a hallucinogenic-type high by briefly boiling stalks of okra until the well known "slimy" substance covers the pods. Then the unthinkable happens, the okra is placed inside the anus. There the slime enters the bloodstream via the thin walls of the lower large intestine. The effects are reported to range from a "Warm relaxed feeling all over" to a full on hallucinogenic "trip", lasting several hours.
The popularity of O-holing appears to be widespread, ranging from youths as young as 8 years old to seasoned incarcerated inmates in our prison system looking to "turn on" with okra.
Justin D. (last name withheld) Describes how quickly his addiction to O-Holing escalated:
"It started as a joke, we read on the Internet about all these kids getting a buzz off of putting okra up your (anus) so one night at a house party we tried it. I couldn't believe it. It was like Disneyland. Next thing I knew I was selling my CD's and games and heading down to the A&P for more O. One day they were completely out and I like totally went off on the produce guy. They wouldn't let me come back after that. So I started going to the O-parties"
O-parties, an underground circuit, similar to the "rave" scene of the 90's where there is music, flashing lights and pots of boiling okra, lots of Okra.
Police Sergeant Ira Pouncas states that over 12 O-parties were raided within the last year. School officials were put on notice.
"I am pleased to report that okra will be removed from the school lunch menu for the 2006-07 school year. It has already been deleted from prison meals as the effects of O-holing are unpredictable and even dangerous to our CO's"
A proposal to launch an entire arm of law enforcement with a six figure budget is on the table to be voted on in early 2007.
"It's set to be worse than crack and heroin combined." Sgt. Pouncas states, "It's everywhere, sold right over the counter to kids."
