My Journey (Part 1)

When I was 14 I remember I always wanted to try weed. I remember looking up how to make joints and how to make bongs on YouTube. The only thing is I didn’t know anyone who I could get weed off. I later on discovered that my older brother smoked it. after a long time trying to persuade him to let me try it, he finally caved in. I remember him making us a joint each and we went to take our dog for a walk around the block because we obviously couldn’t smoke it in our parents house. I loved it, I remember everything was so much better like food and music. The first handful of times I been sick or whiteyed is what we called it. It is just basically when you get to stoned your blood sugars go low and you just need sugar. That’s why you usually get the munchies after smoking weed. Anyway we made a habit of smoking weed every night. I was soon able to find a dealer who I could get weed from. That’s when i started smoking it all day everyday and when my addiction to mind altering substances started. I had smoked tobacco before then. That’s when I started selling weed to try keep up with my habit as I was smoking nearly a ounce a week, and it can be a expensive habit. Very soon Cannabis wasn’t working well for me anymore because I had built up a massive tolerance. Anyway I was able to find a dealer who could get me diazepam and pregabalin and that’s when my addiction with prescription drugs started.
