She was on diet pills to control her weight from the age of twelve all the way through high school. If you could see her now, you would realize how effective their use was in terms of weight control….. She is still fat. Speed was never fun to her, but it gave her a buzz…
One day her father instructed her to trim the hedge of oleander across the entire length of the backyard which had grown to about twelve feet high. After taking her diet pills and drinking a couple of cups of coffee, she chopped down the plants to about two feet high. Her dad was speechless when he saw the giant piles of trimmings. The damned things grew back too!
She always felt a little nauseous on diet pills and she had trouble sleeping too. She was never anxious to try them again.
Reds were fun for about two weeks. She never took very many of them. They were popular in the biker bar where she worked for a few months. When she saw what they did to a couple of the girls who hung out there, she quickly learned to say no. She went to a party where two girls were passed out with these huge guys also passed out on top of them. The party was just a dozen people passed out, so she hurriedly left, and never took those downers again.
She tried peyote twice. Once she got sick and didn’t feel the promised affects. The second time she felt nauseous, but the high was great. Four friends tripped together naked and laughing and having a great time for a night. They ended up taking showers together and flooding the bathroom floor.
Lulu’s Note: The reason you shouldn’t take drugs willy nilly is because you end up losing control and chop things down or pass out with a 350 pound biker on top of you. Of course, you could also have a great time….Your choice. Be careful!
