Past simple

I was nine years old when I first smoked marijuana.

I know that sometimes people do them because they're upset or angry about something.

Have you ever had experience with drugs and alcohol?

So you guys think kids don't do drugs or alcohol?

Do you think I ever did drugs or alcohol?

Well, I have drank alcohol and done drugs, and I am a kid, but.

Did someone tell you, like, bro, this is sick.

You should take some and then you got addicted to it?

So I grew up with a drug addict dad and two older brothers that were kind of like, experimenting with drugs and stuff.

And so I guess I kind of just like, grew up to think that it was normal to do drugs and, like, drink, but.

They don't taste really that good, though.

If it doesn't taste good, why does people even drink it?

For the effect that it gives, like the way it makes people feel.

Yeah, I have a few friends that start to go down the wrong path and.

Did you, like, take a drug and then go higher and higher up the.

So I started with weed and drinking, then started eating mushrooms and doing acid, then got into, like, the powders, like, ecstasy and all that.

It started out very fun, just getting high and drunk with friends.

Made me, I guess, like, comfortable and relaxed.

Were you ever put in any dangerous situations?

There's some dangerous people there and stuff.

Like, people were getting stabbed and threatened.

I got threatened to get shot a few times.

Like, I climbed this school roof and jumped off of it.

I had been dropped out of school for a while.

I, like, punched my best friend in the face and gave him a black eye, and

that felt terrible when I realized what I had done.

And it's like, I looked at myself in the mirror.

I, like, looked at someone I didn't even really recognize.

So when you stopped, were you, like, hooray and stopped the first time?

And they call it, like, the pink cloud, where you're just like, life's great and you don't need alcohol.

But then I fell back into drinking alcohol again, and

then I tried to get sober again, and it was kind of.

Is there anything that you feel like you can't live without?

For some reason, I can't sleep without him, so it's kind of addiction doesn't sound so bad.
