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.
