So this may be considered a cautionary tale… Ever since I was like 13 or 14 playing mtg with the homies, my mom would grill me on how much drugs I was doing… In her defense that’s when her brother started heroin but … I’m playing mtg and playing video games nothing more. It got to a point where I was like 'she already assumes I am… ’ so I spent like 6 months doing research on like everything erowid had …which was a lot of reading. Ended up deciding to say fuck it ya, seems harmless enough. I was 18 when I had my first puff… And 25 when I had my first beer.

I’m hella successful and only I think this year (nearly 40), has my mom finally gotten over it.
