Yeah. What else? Started drinking probably around 13, 14. And, you know, didn't abuse it, but, well, I guess I did abuse it. I mean, I drank heavily in high school. Every weekend, blacking out.

Yeah, pretty much, yeah.

Yeah, Northern California.

I'd say freshman year of college, everyone was doing... All my friends were experimenting with heroin. My parents were heroin addicts, so I was, like, super against that. But OxyContin was floating around, so... You know, at some point when I was 18, I tried an OxyContin. It was the greatest feeling I ever felt.

And slowly over the next... Over sophomore year, I sort of replaced drinking with OxyContin. Started selling OxyContin. Got very addicted. Started using it every day. And... I did some Google research. I realized Oxycontin is essentially heroin, and it's a lot cheaper, and it's a lot more powerful, so I made the switch to heroin.

Yeah, I do. I smoked it on tinfoil the summer before sophomore year with a friend. And he never got really addicted to it, but he was sort of messing around with it. And I remember putting the straw to my lips and smoking it and knowing my mom died from this. But I couldn't, you know, it was over. I was already addicted to opiates. But it was sort of a monumental moment. For you. Yeah.

Well, I got pretty wildly addicted to heroin by sophomore year of college. I made it to senior year, but I was getting bad grades. I eventually took a job with, now I say the cartel, but it was really just like a subsidiary of the cartel.

You know, drivers that would drive around and, you know, break up bags of dope and then break them into smaller quantities and hire drivers to drive them around and deliver them. So I took that job. And a requirement of that job, if you were a heroin addict, was that you had to use methamphetamine so you wouldn't fall asleep when you drove because heroin addicts fall asleep when they drive.

So they introduced me to methamphetamine, and within about three weeks, I was kicked out of my house and kicked out of school and completely lost my mind. Meth really screwed me up very quickly.

Heroin is very boring, and it's very tranquil, and it's very manageable if you have enough of it. at first, your first few years of addiction, you can go to work, you can do your schoolwork. It's not crazy. I mean, you do fall asleep a lot. Meth is the exact opposite.
