Before last spring my life revolved around girls, partys, and feeling alrite. But after a couple of weeks of hardcore drug use, my life revolved around my next focalin fix. Focalin is an ADHD drug I was prescribed, and abused. I experimented with ritalin before, but focalin tops it by far.

I got home from practice one day last spring with a suggestion from a sophmore about a drug he's tried. I told him I had it, and later that week he stole the whole bottle of focalin rite outta my own house. Being a decent friend of mine, I told nobody who I thought it was. After I had another prescription filled, I decided to try it, considering it was worth breaking into a house for. I grinded up one 10mg pill and snorted it. First thing that hit me was a feeling of godliness and pure energy, then euphoria, then contentment that lasted awhile, then the worst crash of my life.

After the crash I grinded up the rest and bumped it all in about 15 mins. I freaked out. Ended up outside rapping the most random shit (hence the title of the report)and calling people which was a bad idea. I started hallucinating to the water in my creek, with every ripple throwing me out of reality even more. After about 20 mins I wasnt so plastered, and felt alrite for about an hour. For about 4 hours after tho, I was in extreme pain due to the come down. The symptoms were naseau, manic depression, hostility, and fatigue. During this time, I craved no food, water, or love; just more focalin.
