and her grandma called an ambulance.
1:12:06
So I'm laying in the hospital,
passed out.

1:12:10
They got my brain on a brain scanner.
1:12:13
You know how your brain's
supposed to go beep, beep, beep?

1:12:17
Well, mine just went--
1:12:18
Straight across, you know?
1:12:20
And the doctor goes to my ma...
1:12:23
"I don't think
your son is gonna make it.

1:12:25
Sorry. I think he's gonna die.
1:12:28
I don't think there's any way
we can wake him up or nothing."

1:12:32
So, all of a sudden,
I smell this real strong smell.

1:12:37
And it's smelling salts
they got in front of my nose.

1:12:40
I start to wake up,
and all I see is bright lights.

1:12:42
I'm like,
"Damn, where the hell am I?"

1:12:45
Then I realize I'm in the hospital,
so I check my pockets for the acid.

1:12:50
They analyzed one hit,
and it turned out to be...

1:12:53
blotter paper dipped in liquid P.C.P.
with a little bit of downer in it.

1:12:59
They said if it hadn't been for that
little bit of downer, I'd be dead.

1:13:03
Anyway, I'm checking my pockets
for the acid...

1:13:07
because I was gonna drop my other
three hits in the hospital, you know?

1:13:11
All of a sudden, my ma walks in the room
and she's holding the bag of acid.

1:13:17
I'm like, "Damn, now I can't drop
the rest of my acid in the hospital."

1:13:21
So she flushes it down the toilet,
you know?

1:13:27
So then they kept me
in the hospital another month.

1:13:32
They said I was the worst case
they ever had.

1:13:35
They let me go,
and I continued using drugs...

1:13:40
all the way up until...
1:13:43
a little under
a year and a half ago.

1:13:47
And that's-- I have more stories
like that I could tell you too.

1:13:52
All kinds of drug-related stories.
1:13:59
I could tell you, you know.
