The life and times of a junkie

Chapter 1: I Smoke Meth!!!
Ben Netter's life was relatively normal. He went to highs hook, got average grades, played a sport or two and fumbled around awkwardly when trying to make advances. The expected from a teenage boy.
However though, something made him different. It was money or an increased intellect or some special genetic gift, not it was that Ben Netter does drugs. I knowledge your thinking "Hey, Elliot! What gives the right to say something so harmful is a gift?". I can answer that question quite easily for a simple reason. I saw what he did afterwards. I'm somewhat stuck seeing it and I would prefer getting this all out before I'm gone. Ben does drugs, this has been established, but the real amazement is how much he does. So let me emphasize, Ben DOES drugs. I'm curious on how he's still alive let alone how he manages to speak a coherent sentence without falling over in a mental breakdown or how he hasn't been shot, seeing he lives the shotgun toting town of West Virgina.
