I was trained to cultivate marijuana, bag it. I would give it to my friends in the neighborhood. At 11. Even before that. So marijuana, we grew it, you know, we bagged it. I would give it away. I'd trade snakes for it, skateboards for it. Older kids in the neighborhood love me because I just hand them handfuls of it. Yeah, drugs were in my house from the very beginning.
