Yea meth was the first hard drug I tried. Was just a normal pot head teenager. Then some new kid moved into a rent house in my neighborhood. One of my buddies started going over there every week to smoke. Then he was there almost every night for a month. I went over with him a few times.
Probably don't read this this is mainly for me. And inspired by the previous post. Even after all these years I can still remember everything about the first night that I tried methamphetamine.


Everyone in that house was using meth. The mom, step dad, and the kids were our age , and honestly they seemed really "fun". They also smoked weed , so that's mainly why I was there. That's also how I got my first wholesale brickweed connection. All of a sudden I went from getting ounces to break up and so to getting larger amounts like half pounds for basically nothing it was great.



One night there was about six or seven of us, they were all passing around the meth pipe. And I don't know what possessed me to do so but I asked what it was like. They all pretty much told me that it was a pretty good high and that it made you feel like you were Superman and that everything felt right. They each had their own description of it. They also said that because it was so expensive if you were going to use it might as well be for free right.



They didn't seem like they were addicted to me anyway I had never seen a drug addict in the wild before besides like downtown homeless crack heads. They seem like they were having a fun time it didn't seem like a big deal. So I asked if I could have a hit.



There's not too many things I regret about my drug use except for this. How was I to know. The only troubling foreshadowing was after I took a few hits blew out huge clouds, One of the guys in the circle took a couple of shards out of his bag and wrapped it in a cellophane and handed it to me saying" you were going to want this tomorrow" .

Which even at the time in my naive adolescence I thought was strange.



I still remember exactly who was there it was five other people. Suddenly I felt this rush of energy it was like being hit by a truck. I felt amazing I felt like everything was just pouring out of me. So warm I felt loved I felt like the entire solar system was intricately aligned just for me for that moment with those people. I took my shirt off I started getting really close to everybody. It was like a graduation everybody was high-fiving me and laughing and we were just having a f****** amazing time. I started seeing little tracers in my vision Happy tracers we called them. I had never in my life experienced such a intense feeling.
I believe I also did a small line because everybody else was and I also licked the plate The shards were crushed up on.

Again I had no idea what I was doing they just were laughing their ass off that I was doing it. They were like hell yeah dude it tastes like s*** but it's f****** worth it.


Everyone was so funny. The main guy B was rattling off one-liner jokes and just had the whole room roaring it really was like the best night ever. I was 17 years old I was still in high school and I had no idea the Pandora's box I had just opened. The night must have just flown by because before I knew it it was time for me to go home and sneak back in my parents house. Think it was 4:00 in the morning I had been high for about 4 hours and I could not sit still and I could not stop talking. So I called my girlfriend at the time on my little Sony Ericsson flip phone.



She answered the phone after the 7th attempt. I talked to her until 11:00 in the morning. I know for a fact she only had said two sentences to me. She asked me what was wrong with me and what did I do and that she loved me. Rest of the time was me just rattling nonsense about everything. Around noon I started feeling uneasy.



The happy tracers that had accompanied me a few hours previously were dark and scary. Started hearing people talking in the other room. As time grew on I began to sweat and I really really just wanted it to go back to being fun. All I could think about was those shards that they had given me and I still had. I just wanted a couple more hits so that this insanity would stop. Even in my altered inexperienced state of mind I knew that if I used more it would just delay the inevitable come down effects which I knew I was experiencing.

I think my parents knocked on my door around 5:00 p.m. for dinner and I just told them I was feeling kind of sick. I knew for a fact if anyone in my family saw my face they would instantly know I was on drugs. My sister was visiting from college and she knocked on my door and asked me what my problem was and it was like somebody sticking a knife in my heart.

My girlfriend called me back around 9:00 at night and I just wept out loud. Told her I was sorry told her it would never happen again and I told her that it was the worst feeling I had ever had in my life and all I could think about was those two little shards about the size of a fingernail clipping in that goddamn cellophane.



So I tried to just ride it out to the best of my ability. I remember I went into the bathroom and I stared at myself in the mirror and noticed my pupils were dilated to encompass my entire eye so I took a picture with my little flip phone. As the day wore on I got more and more unstable. I was the quintessential batshit crazy tweaker that was portrayed in movies. I was looking out the blinds I was picking at myself I was imagining terrible things on the other side of the door. Finally broke down and I called my friend. I was like bro what the f*** is happening!!! He just told me that it was normal and that I should just try to relax. I was thinking this is normal this insane horrible hallucinations and feeling like my heart is going to explode is normal f*** this oh my God I'm never doing this again.

At some point I did walk back over to my buddy's house and they were all there they weren't as happy or hyperactive but they certainly weren't experiencing the type of come down I was. I pulled out the shards that had given me in the cellophane and gave it back to the main dude. Him and the three other people that were in the room chuckled and said to the effect, wow I can't believe you didn't use that. They went and grabbed a bowl loaded it up and smoked it right there. That's what I knew That's when I knew that they knew all along how powerfully addicted I was going to do and that they knowingly gave it to me anyway.

And I never really blamed them because they were just dumb teenagers like me you know The majority of them came from a broken home from parents who themselves used they had no idea. And I figured after core at their base line people they were still pretty good people they just used meth every night. It made total sense to me I was like well this makes sense why they're always so happy at night and so angry during the day.



I ended up staying up for 56 goddamn insane hours. Yeah the first eight were great I was high I felt amazing.
The rest of the time was spent in my room terrified to my core praying for it to stop. Even after I finally slept I was in a daze for a month easy. All I could think about was using All I could think about was that amazing bliss I had experience. And the only reason I didn't within that first month was because I was terrified of the comedown. I ended up using five or six more times that year and each time I f****** hated myself..

Out of everyone from that night I only kept up with a couple of them over the years. The main guy ended up catching a whole host of charges including statutory rape. He is currently serving a life sentence. One of the other guys kind of straightened his life out I think he drives trucks now and he married a stripper and had like five kids all different colors I don't know how that worked out for him long-term.

Another guy came from a very wealthy family in town and I lost contact with him after we all got arrested for breaking in a house. The chick that was there ended up marrying one of my friends later on in life and they had a bunch of kids One of them. She was able to rewrite the history books and told him that she never used meth and I never said anything to the contrary. Even though I remember she was the one sitting to the left of me and twisting the bowl for me so hey whatever.

And there's me. I struggled with addiction for the next 10 years on every type of drug you could think of. But nothing compared to the hell I went through trying to get away from that it it just it took over my whole psyche for a couple of years. I smoked crack a few months later I did Coke a few months later I did ecstasy a few months later. But like I said none of it had such an impact on me like the first time I used meth.
 
Don't read this, it's for my documentation only.
Those people were my friends. We sold drugs
together, partied , went to jail / relied on each other. Later we lived together. It was a chaotic fast pace lifestyle for a couple years. The bulk of my ecstasy and DOB experience came from those first two years with those people.

I went from a shy pot head that played video games and hung out in the woods. To a yo yo yo wigger in the projects who probably committed 5 to 15 felonies a week. My highschool friends and girlfriend were honestly concerned about my new friends.

I was convinced that they just didn't get it. They couldn't understand the bond I had with these new "fun" friends. I met more and more drug dealers. Guys that ran with gangs. I was completely intoxicated with the hustle lifestyle. I had no real direction in life so I figured I'd just party till I died. They even gave me a street name - crazyhairman.

At one point there was 6 of us living in that one bedroom 450 sf apartment. B the most charismatic of us probably could have done anything with his life. He could have sold you a car with no engine in it he just had a way with words.

Slowly but surely I started to corrupt my old friends from high school I introduced them to ecstasy to DOB to Coke to whatever we had. I started to hustle my old friend circle not just to sell them weed but to sell them everything I could get my hands on. I hadn't talked to my family in months. My dad was so worried at one point he tracked me down and demanded that I come home and get away from these people. I just shut the door on him.

These people were my family now. I would have done anything for them and they knew that. I remember a profound talk I had with one of the Coke dealers that frequented the apartment. He knew I worked for a fast food place as a cook. He asked me one day if I could get him an application. I was really surprised by this because he seemed like he really had it going on. But he looked me in my eyes he looked like a defeated man. He told me he never really wanted to do this. He said he just wanted out. He wanted out before it was too late. He wanted more for his family he wanted to make something of himself. He said he felt trapped. Someone walked in and asked if he had a lil bit. He sighed, stood up , looked at me and shrugged, I just stared at him. In that moment I felt terrible for him. It's weird what you remember and why.
That one chat with somebody I barely knew made me seriously contemplate my life at that point.

It wasn't all good all the time. There was some drama there was some fights there was some violence. Every so often I'd get ripped off mysteriously never for some huge amount of money though or like the delivery would be short.

There were some pretty scary people who weren't very mentally stable either. I witnessed assaults, there was an x cop cook that threatened my life because he got me mixed up with his girlfriends x bf. Bunch of robberies. I got held up at gunpoint that wasn't very fun kind of f***** me up for a few years too.
Some weeks we were flush with cash and we blew it. Some days the power was turned off because we didn't have a dime to our name. I learned how to make mush crack with mountain dew. Wasn't good enough to sell but it would smoke just fine.
I remember at least a few times being so hungry that we went to Walmart to steal sandwich meat.

I still had a key to my parents house and I would wait for them to go to work and I would go to their house and eat and shower and just take dumb things like lighters. Shampoo, pillows, like I said just dumb s*** that I didn't have. Sometimes they would call me and ask me if I had been at the house and that they loved me and that they wished me to be safe and to come home and I would just never pick up. I didn't have time for sympathy or guilt I just wanted to party and do things for these people.

I can't tell you how I avoided serious charges. That was before I was even worried about law enforcement. It was just like an endless party.

Then one day it all got real. One of our coke dealers was raided got him on a half a k. He lived about 500 ft away one building over. Then it was like the cops were always around. Always pulling us over, always running our IDs asking questions and looking for reasons to harass us. B caught 2 or 3 weed possession charges in rapid succession.

The chill drug dealers stopped coming around even the crazy ones stayed away. The drugs just kind of dried up. It was still a little bit of weed every once in a while. But for the most part the drugs stopped being fronted or delivered to us. B moved to a trailer house out in the country. And for a short period of time we kept it going out there for a time. By this time some of my old pothead friends had with my help started their own weed dealing.

I threw in with him one day to get a good amount. And bam. We got absolutely ripped off. And when it came to be known who had brokered the deal I wasn't really surprised it was B. I confronted him and he didn't really deny it. He said he didn't know that it was my money and that he was sorry.
I knew he was facing charges and he was hurting for money so I didn't really push the issue I just told him that I didn't want to be friends with somebody that I couldn't trust.

It felt like a breakup honestly. Here I was at a crossroads where I had been doing crazy stuff with these people for a couple of years now. And I was just honestly fed up. I was tired. I really just wanted to go play Halo and get high and not have to worry about watching my back. So I came home.

And as deflated and depressing as that was I was still eternally thankful that I had a loving family to go back to.. because B and a lot of those people I met in that time, they didn't have a family. They didn't have a future.
They didn't even have a chance. They made mistakes like me they made bad choices. Why did they go to prison and I didn't.

You just can't fathom where life takes you. 7 more years I was in that lifestyle. I stuck to mainly hallucinogens and pot. Then I got into pills . I only got clean 8 years ago.

Yeah those first two years of drug use were f****** wild. But that's what got my feet wet so to say.
I don't know what happened to a lot of those people I purposely stayed away from the hood. I don't even know a lot of their names so I can't even look them up.

I never caught any drug charges and I never gave anyone up. And I can't tell you if I had the choice to go back and do it again I just might. Cuz it's crazy and wasteful as that lifestyle seem to be. The man that I have become is perhaps an effect of the immature drug user I used to be.

It's a cycle that repeats over and over all over the world.

Nicely written. I can relate it to people I hung out in high school with.
There, but by the grace of God, go I. (not that I believe in God)
