Friends are the most dangerous at the same time most amazing people in our life. This story is not about me. This story is about the students out there addicted to drugs and this story is dedicated to the beginners who just started tasting it.
It was the first day of my college. In fact that day I should be happy but I was even more happy 'cause my best friend is also with me. The feeling that we are going to be together for next 3yrs was superb. No parents, no relatives, no restrictions. Me, my friend and whole lot of completely strange people and lots of money. What more should one need.
First day in college was nice. That's all I could say. We celebrated that night at the fullest. Everyday was fun movies, ogling, proposals, late night parties, long rides.etc .etc .etc. Couple of months passed like that. One night on the way back to our flat after a birthday party we saw a group of people smoking. We didn't care much and continued walking. Suddenly one of them called out my friend's name. We went near them. It was our senior. We shook hands and my friend started telling him where we were and all blah. .blah. .blah. Meanwhile I looked at one of them and saw the thing they are smoking was not cigarette. "That's not a cigarette. . Right??" I asked him. "No . .it's not. But something miles better than it. Something that takes you to an entirely different world, something that gives power to your ears, strengthens you. It's the holy ganja" he explained. I can see his joy, passion, dedication in his eyes. I din't say anything neither did my friend. He then asked us "you guys wanna try??" We said no and walked towards our flat. I was completely drowned in his words and the joy I saw in his eyes. It took me very long to sleep.
Next day I woke up, had tea and felt fresh. I no more had any dirty ganja thoughts in my mind. That day was cool and everything went as usual. At night we had food from outside and reached our flat. It was a cold night. So I lit up a cigarette and sat on the bean bag in the balcony. My friend came and took 2-3 puff from my cigarette and gave me. He stood there and looked far away. Suddenly he hit me very hard with a question "Dude why don't we give it a try?" . I knew what he have in mind. I told him to change the topic. But he was in no mood to change. He held me and said" you saw the way he said about ganja yesterday, how it can do wonders. So atleast once we should try". " Are out of your mind. It's not like smoking this" I said pointing at my cigarette." This was the same thing you told about cigarettes. It's not a like we are murdering someone. It's just another smoke. So why don't we give it a try? Just once". I had no words to say. Senior's voice found it's way back to my mind. Even I have heard lots about this stuff. Heard it will make the food tastier than ever. Heard it will make us feel like we are in a foreign country. Every shit I heard about this holy ganja started attacking me. And at last I told myself " why not give it a try. . It's just another smoke".
Next day he made all the arrangements. He was so excited and did everything himself. He din't allow me to lend me my hand. He told me to just sit there and he'll do everything and I just have to take the holy smoke in. I thought what a great friend I have. At last the most awaited moment came. He told me to take a puff. I did and found nothing strange. Passed it to him. It went like for 4 times. I felt a strange feeling so I stopped at 4 and lied down. Suddenly I heard some thuddering sound. It was very loud. I covered my ears. It was still there. I tried to stand but failed. Then I crawled and reached my bed. The sound was still there. I pressed my hands very hard on my ears. Suddenly the sound stopped. I looked around and saw that I was in a royally decorated room. I saw my friend walking towards me. He came near me and made some funny faces. All of a sudden I burst out laughing and couldn't control. It went on for few minutes. And I felt relaxed. We had some chocolates and it felt like heaven. After that he started singing and I danced for that. It was all fun. I din't know when I slept.
I woke after a some 3-4 hours. I saw my friend already up. We shared the experience and decided we'll never try this again. But I din't know what was about to come. A week later our seniors came with the weed and they started their session. Joining them was our only option. Slowly we started getting addicted to it. And became the part of our daily routine. It became a part of our life. I started to forget things. Started getting weak. Lost interest in everything. Stopped attending classes. Head started feeling like it's carrying a building if I missed one joint out of many in a day. Spent almost everything to buy weed. We starved, did some small theft, borrowed and made money to buy our daily share o 'energy'. I looked at mirror and saw my reflection 'An useless piece of shit' that was all I could say about me.
FEW MONTHS LATER
I was waiting for my friend in my flat for my usual 'booster'. He came a bit late with something else in his hand. It was a white powder. When I asked him about it he told something which took my breath away.. COCAINE. I told no I am not gonna use and I won't allow you too. He said " That's what you said about the weed. This is just a white powder. Why don't we give it a try??".
