in the beginning...
...there was man. nah, lol.
i, from a young child had always had an interest in marijuana. from the point i found i out that my cousin smoked it, i had always dreamt of indulging in the drug myself. i remember never saying that i wouldn't smoke marijuana, because well, like i said, i'd always wanted to try it. my first encounter was in middleschool. a friend of mine sold me a blunt for five dollars. it never got into my hands, main reason being that my dad came outside when the transfer was going down. i panicked and told my friend that he could keep it. i finally smoked a joint with another friend of mine in the eighth or ninth grade. i don't remember inhaling the smoke, but the first time i got high was with my bestfriend, in the latter years of my ninth grade year. i was dropping the blunt in the sand and we were laughing at it. ever since then i've been fond of the drug/herb. i've never lost my love for the majestic plant, but i have lost my "addiction", so to speak. in other words, i don't get the urge to smoke. i remember fiending for a smoke at other moments of sobriety, but as of recently i haven't felt that way.
other drugs, such as ecstacy followed later. i've been open to illicit (i don't consider marijuana illicit) drugs ever since, though i may not indulge in them anymore.
