Oere is a shrub native to the Dnkluwos Islands, highly prized by the Wolgos for its leaves which are chewed for recreational purposes. The leaves of the oere plant, when chewed, interact with the unique scopolaminoids produced by the Wolgos' oral bacteria to create a mild euphoric high. With prolonged and continuous chewing, this high can evolve into a numbing sensation and a sedative effect.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of oere use is its impact on saliva. The metabolites of oere react in such a way that they stain the saliva of users a deep blue-green colour. Prolonged use can result in the permanent staining of gums and the discoloration of teeth. This visual marker of oere use is a well-known feature among the Wolgos, making it a recognizable cultural practice.
For humans, chewing oere results in a very mild euphoria. However, when combined with Wolgos saliva, oere can act as a sedative and painkiller for humans, with potential hypnotic properties. This unique interaction underscores the biochemical differences between humans and Wolgos, and the specific ways in which substances affect them.
The taste of oere is notably bitter, which can be off-putting for some. To mitigate this, some Wolgos enhance the flavour by licking salt while chewing oere. Despite the bitterness, many Wolgos grow accustomed to the taste, embracing it as part of the oere chewing experience. The deep blue-green colour produced by chewing oere is not just a by-product but also a hallmark of its use, quickly manifesting as the leaves are chewed.
Oere has dependency-inducing qualities similar to those of tobacco. Regular users can develop a reliance on the euphoric and sedative effects of the plant, making it a habitual part of their daily lives. This dependency, coupled with the visual signs of use, makes oere a significant cultural and social element among the Wolgos.
