At 15, I was passing time in the far outskirts of a sleeping city leaving no rock unturned. In retrospect, there wasn’t many other ways for me to bury that irrepressible beast growing from within but by consuming any cheap booze or schweg weed I could get my grubby little fingers on.
Once the frog jumped out of my pocket I welcomed those intoxicating friends with open arms. So it started, finding booze and bud was the game played. Of course, getting booze took a clever spirit with a dash of courage for the under-aged rebel. On the other hand, any underhanded drug dealer was more than willing to dump his pathetic product into the hands of any willing 15-year-old with some lunch money. This inevitably led to the drug of choice — the path with least resistance.
Fast forward 10 years and here I am. Same old, same old. Same game, higher stakes. The weed is greener, which costs more green. The booze of course eventually found itself back into the picture along with a few visitors from time to time. Some people have the natural knack to move forward day to day even paced with a balance built for indulgence, while others keep tripping over themselves wondering why.
I was the one who needed to keep checking his shoe laces. One morning I woke up and realized my dilemma. I painstakingly gave away the bong, the papers and the pipes and granted a clearer mind the shot she deserved. Four months later I feel better than I ever have, well at least since I can remember. I know no one likes a quitter, but for once I’m glad I quit. I am 100 percent behind the cause though: marijuana should be as legal as buying a pack of smokes.
I just wished I would have learned to control myself from making love to the most beautiful, sweetest smelling and best tasting plant that was ever identified on this planet. All you stoners out there be safe and enjoy your gift that’s been given to you.
But take some advice from a guy with a decade of daily dime bags under his belt: don’t let it change the person you are in a negative way…
