When I was a kid, let me tell you… I was very reckless. By the time I turned 18 though… I was very responsible and today I don’t participate in any of it.
I grew up between two homes, moms and dad’s and in total there was eight of us children. As a child I had horrible ADHD and by the age of ten I started hanging out with the wrong crowd and kids older than I was. I started smoking cigarettes at that age and I would take things that did not belong to me. By the age of 12 I had smoked marijuana for the first time. I would fight and argue and I didn’t really listen to my parents so I was in trouble all the time. At 14 I was sneaking out, stealing cigarettes and alcohol from my parents, and smoking marjana with my “friends”. I was a very reckless child.
It was so bad that when I would run in to my childhood friends parents as an adult they would tell me they don’t understand how I never ended up in jail or prison. That being said though I started working at 15 and at 16 years old I got kicked out of my parents house.
When I got kicked out I immediately started making better decisions. I worked full-time and other than smoking a little bit of marijuana here and there, I did not associate with anybody that did and I did not participate in any sort of breaking the law.
When I was 18, I met my ex-wife and by 21 I was raising 3 kids. I don’t smoke marijuana anymore and I can’t stand the way it makes me feel but at that point in my life I still did, but that would change very quickly.
One night I had gotten off of work, smoked a little marjana, and I was drinking a beer hanging out on my front porch when all of a sudden… About 8 police officers walked up. They were looking for one of my brothers because he had apparently beat up his wife (I have never laid my hands on a woman). They asked if they could come in and search for him and with nothing to hide I told them yes.
When they were done with the search and about to leave, one of them came up to me and said… I can tell you’re trying to do the right thing and raise your children, really seem like a good guy with good intentions, but, we saw your marijuana in there and if I wanted to I could go get a warrant and come back. Let me tell you… That very night no more than 10 minutes later I had thrown everything away and didn’t look back my children were way more important to me and I wasn’t going to risk losing them.
After my accident I started having really bad muscle spasms and quite a few of the quadriplegics I had talked to suggested I should try to smoke marijuana. They said it should help. So I tried it… let me tell you I could not stand it… It made me feel horrible and that was the very last time I’ve done anything remotely reckless. Keep your love ones close and your children closer. Never do anything that’s going to jeopardize their lives in any way. If you do have children stand up and raise them like you should. Did you make the decision to have sex and that results in having a child. Do the right thing and be there for them
