From weed to heroin real quick. In a matter of years, specifically 4, I went from smoking the good old "innocent" weed, to becoming a full blown heroin addict. And trust me when I tell you, addiction can happen to the best of us, and in the blink of an eye too. No filter or discrimination when it comes after somebody. The best option, in my opinion and completely based off of my experience, is to just steer clear of any drug possible. Especially in cases of high addictive systems like myself.
I was 13 when I first smoked weed. By the age 15, I was 100% mentally addicted to marijuana and smoking half packs of cigarettes daily. Pure pressure was a weak spot for me, I gave in. A lot of people do in fact. In my case, it had to do with my young careless attitude, living one day at a time, and a constant crave to get high. And quite frankly, weed got boring after a while. I was tired of spending all my money and not getting high because of tolerance levels. Between the ages of 15-16 my bestfriend and I went off the handle. It is always so much easier to get hooked on stuff when you have your partner in crime by your side. We were getting and trying everything including pills (any kind), coke, mdma/ecstasy, codienes, hallucinogens, and anything we could get our little grabbers onto. Between the genes of my mom and dad, my addictive system is in full effect.
We were pretty inseparable, we were always together, and never empty handed. Loners with each other, not too social with others because that's what drugs do to you. By this time, weed wasn't as important as it used to be to us, we were just focused on partying any way possible. We dibbled and dabbled until we both met boys. Oddly at the same time too. And they both stuck. We were both almost 17. Little did we know, these men would be the downfall for both of us. Not to blame anyone for our actions, but falling in love with them and the drug was the downfall.
Her newly found love introduced her to methamphetamine. My newly found love introduced me to heroin. Slowly but SURELY we both became addicted to our poison. Therefore we introduced our drug of choice to eachother, making our imaginary list of drugs that we haven't tried, complete. Not something to be proud of at all by the way. But definitely a sad and true fact of life, I was a 17 year old heroin junkie.
My decision to smoke meth and get addicted to heroin is the reason I'm not doing so good now in days. Better than those days, but I wish I would have took advantage of high school. I dropped out SENIOR YEAR. Yeah senior year is when I left. Stupid huh? That's the year I started using as well. I moved out of my pops house at 17. Also stupid. Did everything you can think of to get money for my habit. All of this while being under the influence of the devil.
Drugs are always going to be there. There is absolutely no reason to rush having that experience like I did. It will most likely not result in your favor. Wait until you have a career and stable life. At least until your brain is developed fully?! And not to mention, weed is and always will be a gateway drug, especially to those of us who love getting high. If you can withhold and restrain yourself from pure pressure and look into how the future will effect, you can probably handle yourself. If not, welcome to my world. It's not until drugs like these come into your life, that you realize you are taking it too far. All are bad but if you come across these dangerous two, you should think about it. I lived in the moment for so long, I understand "yolo" or whatever. But it's so not worth it. I was addicted to heroin for almost 4 years with my man. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I know now that I was too young and inexpirienced. We were horrible addicts and there were more times that we were dopesick rather than well. If you are going to try heroin, DON'T. The things that addicts do to get their next fix is sad and real. Heroin ruined my life all together. To this day, 2 years sober, I still regret it hard. My life was supposed to be different. Yours should not end up like that if you read this and take it seriously. DON'T do heroin and meth.
As for my bestfriend, she turned a complete 180 after her meth addiction hit. Picks all over her face, weigh loss, half rotten teeth, and more. She has been a couple months clean with a stab wound to her head while her psycopath man sits in jail for stabbing her. Drug induced psychosis due to methamphetamine? I think so. Either way it's a dead end. Please if you are reading this, TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION and be smart and careful. Especially the kids, don't screw your life up!
. For a couple years I dabbled in the world of painkillers, occasionally buying a perc 30 or two, maybe an OC 40 when they were around and enjoying them a whole lot. Come Mayweather/Pacquiao fight, no percs to be found? Hello Heroin! Boy did I feel at home when I tagged that foil. Ya'll know how the story goes, once a week, twice a week, every other day, everyday, oops I'm addicted, withdrawals, can't stop, smoking ain't doing it no more, hello needle! Have you met me veins? The two of you might really get along. Here I am nearly 9 months later, not strung out, not sober, my needle finds its a way into my veins once in the morning and once at night, just to keep the ol' shakes and shits away. I'm trying to lead a productive life, exercising, reading, even developing my own clothing company. Still I find myself a slave to the needle, however mildly so.
