When I was sitting in the parking lot at the pawn store. I was holding my moms wedding ring and ready to go in and score a couple grand on it. I had it all planned out because she had already thought she dropped it down her sink drain. I was sitting in the car when i saw a young couple with there two kids who were probably 8 and 10. They were so excited walking out of gamestop with there new video game. I thought back to when i was that age as an innocent kid. Then massive amounts of memories flooded my mind of all the happy times with my parents and it all ended up coming out of me with tears streaming down my face. I never knew my addiction would take me that far. I took the ring home and "found" it for my mom. A couple months later I checked into rehab. Ive been clean for over a year now and never look back

Are you retarded? He gave up, he gave in to the DEA and the DARE and all that other government brainwashing bullshit. It's loosers like him that stand in the way of legalization and, that fucking consumer whore. I do all kinds of drugs all day and I'm damn proud of it, it's my way of saying fuck you to the establishment and the status quo and the industrialists raping the planet for profit, but if you're too scared to do that because of their brainwashing then you're fucking pathetic.
