 The guy took me to one group and told them it was my first time, so they should help me. I smoked five joints before the effects began, but then I liked it. After that, I began sneaking out of our house after the family was asleep and when I knew there would be a party at that place. While all this was going on, I was still working hard at gymnastics, but I knew that cigarettes and marijuana kept me from doing my best. That was in my junior year.
