Prior to writing this chapter, I was looking back at my teenage years. Those days look so far in the past nowadays. Not that I feel old, but it´s hard to imagine that we were fourteen & fifteen years old & too young to get a beer. Even back then as you needed to be sixteen, but we were free to buy marijuana as there were no age restrictions.

Now I am getting ahead of myself and my story (again), so let me take a step back.

Today´s chapter should have started with the twelve-year-old me being seduced by an eleven-year-old girl..... yes indeed just like Eve seduced Adam to eat an apple, Lotte seduced me to smoke a cigarette. Last time we met she told me she had smoked a cigarette and asked if I had as well?. I could not lag behind, so I said I had. We agreed that the next time when she would sleep over we would go for a smoke, together.

Princess Chelsea - The Cigarette Duet

Now of course I had not smoked, I did not have two older sisters as she did. Sisters that showed her the way. I was the oldest and needed to figure life out by myself. But I liked Lotte and so I had to learn how to smoke. I bought a pack, yes they actually sold me one, and well I guess that was the first step on the road to addiction.

Your classical Adam and Eve, right?
This story continues to prove how women tempt foolish men or boys like me.

So I started smoking just before high school, and you guessed it high school did not make it any better. Why not, because it's where I met my High-school sweetheart, Marjolein. She was very mature for her age, and as a teenage boy that was definitely a plus, although my mom did not think so.

Dear sweet sexy Marjolein introduced me to a lot of things, but the most unexpected introduction happened during just another lunch break.

I was out of smokes as always and she was smoking rolling tobacco, which made sense as the average income of a 14-year-old did not support smoking Marlboro all the time.

So my sweet little high-school love rolled me one as well. Now my brain might be foggy, but maybe that fog started that day. As I do remember very clearly what happened afterward as if it was ...well a pretty long time ago.

After the break I had a class by Miss Den Hollander, she taught Dutch (Yes her real name for those who understand Dutch). My seat was in the middle of the class, I was looking outside watching the schoolyard and all of a sudden my head became so heavy, the images became blurry and I was feeling sort of sleepy.

Singing "Because I Got High" To Cops

This was not a wave of nicotine nausea, this was different. What in the name of Darth Vader was this?

I put my heavy head on my arms. That was much better, I could not hear what the teacher was saying, but she was looking good I thought. I noticed how her mouth moved, but my ears did not hear a worth...my eyes on the other hand were taking in her slightly wide hips in a pair of jeans that should not have been so tight, but it looked so good. I felt a smile crawling up onto my face like a spider and nestling around my lips.
No idea how long that stupid smile was on my face, as the next thing I recall was that the school bell rang.

I stood up, felt a little wobbly got my bag, and walked out. There I walked into Marjolein, darn what is it today, she also looked hotter than normal. I grabbed her arm and told her to wait a minute..... "What did you do to me, what is this." She had such an evil teasing smile, "Oh nothing just a bit of clove and Marijuana," she said with the evil sexy grin.

Now I never told her that I was kinda afraid of drugs, being traumatized as a kid by watching a movie with my babysitter (yes again a girl). A movie that was a bit above my PG rating, but that´s probably why it made such an impact.

I have been trying to find the scene, but I am not able to find/recall the movie.

In the scene that I never forgot, two police detectives enter a houseboat to find a girl that overdosed and choked on her own vomit. That image just did it for me, for years I was afraid that people would inject me with drugs or feed me pills and that fear just came true....

And it was not as bad as I had imagined it would be. It was actually quite nice, she looked actually quite nice...not at all like those people in my nightmares.

Now that one hit was my second step, I was done for, I became a stoner that very day. But a stoner with at least half a brain. It must have been that childhood fear that caused me to read up on everything related to drugs from that day forward.

That knowledge made it very clear for me what I would and wouldn´t use....

Lucy Sky Diamonds

I mainly stuck to smoking pot throughout my teenage years, but I had to take a detour every now and then, I needed to trip with Lucy and see that Sky filled with Diamonds (LSD.)

As Jim said, Drugs are a bet with your mind and you sometimes just need to take that bet. Because a drug that would let you see what was behind the veil of reality was something I needed to experience. And indeed those trips definitely blew my mind. They taught me there was so much more than the flat reality we see every day in our life.

A Day In The Life - Beatles - Cover by Emily Linge

Now that sounds pretty positive, but trust me there is a huge Darkside. Experimenting with drugs, and becoming a stoner at the age of fourteen is not something I would advocate.
More about that in the next chapter, this way I can at least end this one on a positive note.

Very interesting. How times change. I work right down the road from a handful of weed grow and distribution operations now. They are on pretty much every corner in some cities and townships.

Yup, when I grew up it was only legal in The Netherlands, and they did not move left or right during the next 30 years still the same shady coffeeshops and hardly any taxes collected. While the US turned it into profit.

I'm happy to see that you're growing so quickly on Hive man!
Noise.cash is no longer giving me free tokens so I have to rely on the free tips from other people. It's not as useful to me anymore.

Well I took me a year to get going here but some of my articles do pretty well now indeed. Noise is really slowly dying I am getting some free tips but nothing like it used to be. But it was fun while it lasted.
