In the very beginning, you get all the sense of what the drugs do to you. I started off with drinking, then smoking weed, then dropping mushrooms, dropping acids, smoking PCP. You were smoking PCP?

So I've always wanted to get out of the neighborhood, right? Because they say you're a product of your environment. So I wanted to get out. I joined the Navy. At 17, a Navy recruiter had to meet his quota. He says, you want to get out of here? I said, yeah, I need to get out of here because I'll end up dead before I'm 18. So he goes, okay, do you want to join the Navy?

And we're all joining the armed forces, you know, Air Force, Marines, Army, Navy. I joined the Navy, made my allegiance to the flag, came back home, was leaving. I said, where's my 40-ouncer? No kidding.
