Story from my earlier days

I'd guess I still qualify as an apprentice smoker now. I've only been smoking for about 4 consecutive years. However, when I first got really into it, I and a friend got together and spent 150 on a half ounce, and we bought it with the full intention of sharing it with others. So we bring it to another friend's house, smoke it with him and one other, and then we wonder what the hell we'll do with it. Neither I or my partner in crime had our own place to put it, and our friend who graciously let us use his house did.

One week later, it's all gone. Neither I or my co-buyer had more than a bowl of it, and we were kinda let under the bus.

Can anyone else relate?

 

I'd like to volunteer my then inexperience as an excuse, but in retrospect I see what you're saying. If I had bothered looking into it before laying that much money down at once, I would've been prepared.

 

I was supposed to get paid back. I and my friend bought it, and were supposed to get paid in regards to ownership of the amount, i.e. split four ways. We weren't paid, and we lost our share. Kinda like how I was supposed to get paid to be an extra in a civil war movie, and I was shafted by the directors...I drove to and from Gettysburg in a '77 cordoba in the summer of '08, so gas was a bit more expensive than it is now. It's one of those things that's more valuable as a learning experience than a cherished memory.

I was curious to see how hard the lessons anyone else learned were. Thankfully I only had to learn my purchase lesson once.
