What started as a Tolerance break, became a massive lifestyle change. But maybe i should back up a bit. My name is Luke and I use to frequent this part of facepunch quite often, as well as the tinychat for DD. I've done alot of experimenting with different psychoactives in the last 5 years. Like most of us, Marijuana was my most used. Around mid September, i lost my job and decided that was a good excuse to take a tolerance break from weed. One night i was offered a job to drive a van full of cocaine from one state to another, with multiple destinations. Because of the risk involved, the payment was a very large sum of money. Because i was jobless and soon to be broke, i accepted the job. a few days later i drove the van from one state to the other, arrived at my first destination, and shared a few lines with the first guy i delivered to. Something went wrong. On my way to my second destination (all coked up from my first destination), i see sirens behind me. My heart sinks as fast as it possibly could. Hoping he wouldn't demand a search, i pulled over. The officer asked me to step out and informed me that the vehicle i was driving was reported stolen. I start to freak out. Millions of things go through my head and all i could do was agree to the officers demands. The officer does a search of the van and comes back to me, he was still calm so i figured maybe he didn't find anything (the bags were under the floor plates of the van)? As he walks up to me he takes out his handcuffs, asks me a few questions about what he found in the van, reads me my rights, handcuffs me and puts me in the cruiser. Long story short, i spent the night in a cell, hired a lawyer with what little money i had left, and was given a second chance. I was found innocent by the trickery my lawyer pulled. Enough about my arrest though, I took that whole incident to be done with illegal drugs for good. And I have been for almost 2 months now. Life isn't nearly as fun as it was, and i have lost alot of opportunities with great friends by choosing not to indulge. I may not indulge anymore, but i promise i will NEVER let myself be brainwashed by the anti-drug society. While my record isn't exactly clean, it's clean from this most recent incident. This summer i will be going to basic training and starting a new chapter of my life. Through the fun brought on by drugs and the good people i've met because of them, i've both lived to love and loved to live, and that's something not many people can truthfully say.
Driving sober is hardly safe at all let alone while intoxicated. :/ There's nothing morally wrong with drugs, but putting other people in danger is. I just hope you do learned the right life lesson. :) Good luck! :)
jebus i would have shat my pants if i was pulled over with a bunch of coke. glhf with your "new chapter of life"
I completely understand why you would do this. Good luck man :) As you say, you were a victim of drug prohibition - not drugs themselves :P
That's crazy, but understandable. I was also offered a similar situation, but with 8 pounds of weed on a 6 hour car ride. It fell through though for whatever reason.
