Mines similar to quite a few others, started pretty young, smoking when i was 11, and got the mindset 'well they bullshitted completely about this, i'm not schizo, so everything else must be 100% safe too'. Used to knock about with a big goth/mosher crowd where drugs were plentiful lol, and when i was 12 bought my first pill, i was tiny and this was when they were fucking strong so it literally blew my mind, changed my whole mindset from being a little shit to being a much better person of a little shit

. Had my first e before my first real drink ha. Then when i was 13 experimented with ket, speed etc, dropped my first acid tab in school, that was a fun day

, looking back so much could've gone wrong. Thank fuck more didnt.
Still, nothing beat that ecstasy magic though so i was doing it multiple times a week, 13 year olds buying 100 beans for £70 with mates for a sesh & to sell on, nashing them at school, going on night missions and going completely nuts during the holidays. Calmed down after being kicked out of school for a few months for selling pills at 14 or 15 but still was heavily into drugs, kids i sold em to bouncing around in class so blatently fucked ,was great :D (until they couldnt keep their mouth shut), and id been on vallies daily since 13/14 cause they helped me feel more like me, and also helped with the comedown. Home was too fucked up so moved into a hostel/halfway house at 16, where one upstanding citizen turned me onto smack, though at the time i was more into various stim binges. Eventually got nicked there too and lost my right to housing, so dossed about/sublet from friends for a bit, charges were dropped and i've been slowly getting back to something resembling normality for the last few years, esp the last 3 months
