When I got into 11th grade (I was 16 at the beginning) I started going out with this girl, she was pretty straightedge. I had never gotten drunk or smoked pot, but my friends did (in front of me before) but I had no wish to.

I accidentally got drunk one day that November (Just about 2 years ago, I drank on occasion) and I started drinking then on. Shit started getting bad with my gf at the time (I should've broken up with her long before I did) and I sort of rebelled against the straightedge... so knowing the actual effects of weed (and how it's better than alcohol) I just started.

And I can say, it was a good choice ^^
