My buddy was heavy into ex, shrooms, and several other hard drugs after we graduated from high school. After about 2 years of him flying down this road to nowhere he got busted by the 5-0 for dealing... it set him back, i sat him down and had a long chat with him... but it didnt stick, he went back to it. A few months later my brother left for the marines, (my buddys brother is in the 82nd Airborne) and my buddy saw how much of a change it was for my little bro when he got back from boot, hes truely a changed man. My friend sorta started feelin stupid for what he was doing.. I sat him down again, suggested that he join the army, air-force, or something since he didnt want to go to college, and both his father and I were sick of seeing him attempt to waste his life.
So now hes in the Army, off drugs, doing great, has a good deal to look forward to in life now. I've smoked the ganj a few times as i'm sure countless CEG'ers and Americans have but i'll never step beyond it and even it makes me sick to my stomach now.
Drugs just dont lead anywhere but down hill, i've never seen a drug user get anywhere..
