Thanks for sharing the info in this thread, Layzie. Sharing is caring.

Regarding the addiction aspect, you touched on it, but can you touch on it more? The subject/process of addiction is one of fascination to me (my favorite book, a fiction work called Infinite Jest, revolved around people being addicted to all sorts of things). What I mean is, one minute you're smoking weed in HS, and then a year or two later you're shooting heroin. If I have that timeline correct.

You seem like a smart guy. Now we all know Nancy Reagan is kind of a jackass, but you had to know that heroin was seriously -EV well before you got into it. (An episode of Intervention should clear this up for the uninitiated.) Were you just too far down the path of destruction to admit this to yourself? How many of your friends used?

I don't think those questions have been answered, I read the thread earlier today though. In any event, best of luck to you and make sure you're hanging with the right people. My brother was dealing coke and got popped and the only way he could see getting it together was to leave the state and start over. That was 1987 and he's only been back here once since.
