When I was in ninth grade, all the kids in my neighborhood started smoking pot. Well, all the kids that I hung out with. I smoked with them until I was a junior in high school and started taking flying lessons.

Although I quit pot, I didn’t stop drinking, and later got into cocaine. I’ve watched all the pot smokers grow up and ive watched pot smoking expand into cocaine, meth and alcohol abuse. I’ve seen the impacts of drug use over time and have seen many kids I grew up with die from drugs.

I now have children, two girls, Teal and Guinivere. As I see more and more negative effects from a spreading drug culture among young people, I’ve wanted more and more to do something about it. I started this website as a way for young people to read about peoples experiences with drugs and the negative way that their lives were influenced by them. By reading real life drug stories written by real people maybe they can make an educated decision to stay clear of drugs in their life. I’ll start with the first GotStupid story. I hope you get something positive from this site, and please leave a GotStupid story of your own.
