Yeah, my friendship circles irl were small. Most of my friends
were always online... or before online was available, I had a CB
Radio. Worked out to the same idea. Random people that I DIDN'T
go to school with that weren't usually my age, but older or
younger.
I huffed twice. Rush I think it was called. 30 seconds of OMG
HOLY SHIT EVERYTHING IN SLOW MOTION and then 30 minutes of OMG
WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING. Crack I tried 3 times. It took 10
YEARS until I couldn't taste that plastic taste in the back of
my thought at the mere thought of it.
Even now... let's see, about 5-6 years ago now, I was at a
campground with family, walking around the site. And there it
was - the plastic smell. Surreal how it has a spot in the brain
that just 'sticks'.
But I've finally forgotten the smell/taste. Empty spot now
thankfully. Also glad I never tried heroin and got sick trying
morphine.. twice. Some of my friends in the northeast part of
the USA report HUGE problems with Heroin addiction in their
neighborhoods, among out of work gamers, middle aged men, bored
teenage girls, grandparents. I never thought it would become "a
thing", but I guess it's "a thing" now.
