First time I got high

“first time I got high”
By Scott Garcia

I blame it all on my brother Ricky Nesbitt for corrupting me, hehehehe, like as if I needed any help from him for corruption, I had a handle on that. I just let him own the responsibility, as I see it I was gonna get high sooner or later and it may as well have been in the safety of my own home amongst people that loved me.

Ricky had ditched High school, he was in like 10^th grade, he brought about half dozen friends home I know one was my cousin John, the others I have no clue, maybe Kieth tabor and another guy I called tomato face.

I was 9 years old and was home from school, not unusual for me, as I hated anything to do with public school. Rick showed up with his friends with a threat of kicking my ass if I told, as I sat watching sesame street, the older boys and my brother all broke out a bong and started to get high. I kept watching and they thought it would be funny to get me high, I needed no coaxing, I was already on my way to being a drunk this seemed like a logical step. I jumped at the opportunity and let them light it and release the carb, allowing me a giant toke. They all laughed, I did my best to hold the hit, I did manage to clear the bong. I did one more and I was high as I’d ever be.

They all talked about the girls at school and started to raid the fridge, that’s when I was watching and called the big jock tomato face which had everyone laughing. I think I was a hit amongst my brother’s friends, witch probably pissed him off, but I don’t remember that. I do remember later that day him telling me not to tell mom and him confessing how bad he felt for corrupting me, as I sat couch locked and coming down hard!

When mom did get home from work I was deep in couch lock and mom knew something was wrong and asked if I was sick, “no!” I replied, “Ricky got me stoned.” I said. Fuck that I loved to tell on my brother. It was a great day!!
