I saw an Above the Influence commercial about people who Slom [It stands for Sticking Leeches on Myself] and it mentioned kids doing it at schools and parties just like smoking or drugs. I was wondering, why do kids do it? What exactly is it? How does it affect them? and where do they get the leeches?
I've never heard of this before so I'm just curious. (link)

Actually, SLOMing is real. Although they play it off as a metaphor, it is in occurance in many high schools/ middle schools, especially in the South. People find the leeches in local ponds or creeks. I live in Florida and I have witnessed many people SLOM, however, no one has been doing it as openly as they show it in the commercials. The feeling you get from SLOMing is very relaxed, almost to the point of passing out (Probably from blood loss). There is also a highly releving sensation once you take them off.
So to answer your question, it is real and dangerous, but very, very fun.
