How seeing Half Baked is the most important thing that ever happened in my life.
I used to see movies about drugs when I was way too young, and in hindsight, way too impressionable. I smoked weed for the first time within a month of Half-Baked coming out. I saw it, and I thought it was awesome and I thought weed was awesome. The first time I was if I wanted to smoke was so excited, I don't even know why but I totally lied and told the kid getting me high that I'd done it before. I didn't even sort of hesitate when he asked me if I wanted to try it, not even a second to think about the repercussion, and I was 12yo!
Seeing Half Baked, and being totally down to smoke weed is essentially the reason I was okay with drugs, the concept. So if I didn't smoke weed and think drugs were cool so young, there's a small, small chance I would have never been on drugs. Either way, I started doing drugs because of Half Baked, and was into drugs way too early. Now they play a leading role as the antagonist, in my life. It was also cause even young I never got caught by anyone, never had any health issues, financial issues, literally nothing bad that could be bad happened.
Funniest thing is that I hated every other drug, in Half Baked they said everything but weed is bad. So then I saw the movie Go, no where near as good as Half-Baked, not even that good really. They sell some E, take some, whatever. When my friends kidnapped me and took me to one of those old school illegal raves, I didn't even think twice. They thought that since I was so anti-drug they'd have to somehow convinced me, I thought I was only going to smoke weed, but the second I saw it, took a bunch of ecstasy. Again, absolutely no hesitation. They told me it was safe, I didn't question it. So I thought it was almost as safe as weed

.
Then I saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It's because of that movie that I have absolutely no hesitation with grabbing pretty much anything and pushing the limits on combo's and doses. Till about 2 years ago, I would do anything that someone put in front of me, no doubt. So Fear and Loathing, if I really think about it, is the movies that ruined my life, but it's not the movies fault. It was just a catalyst. It was probably Half Baked that started it all though. So it's really like, how half-baked ruined my life.
