First I'm writing this cause a few members said I should and also I can talk about the real life consequences of drug use and our laws around them from a first person point of view. Hopefully this might help somebody going through similar circumstances to know they aren't alone.
I'm a 27 year old white male who was born and lived in Gainesville, FL most of my life. I had a good childhood so I'll just skip to when I started using drugs. I first smoked weed when I was 12, had hippie parents so it was easy to get. My serious use began at 14. My father was dying (he had diabetic neuropathy and heart problems) at the end of the month he'd throw away his oxycontin and actiq(fentanyl lollipops) that were left over, so I started using them heavily. As soon as older people found out I had them I got into selling cause they'd trade me cocaine for them. So now I'm using coke and OCs at 14-15 on a daily basis. Once I got up to 7 gram a day habit, I went to the hood and got somebody to show me how to cook. Didn't take but a week to have a serious crack addiction. About 6 months later I started IVing pills. About a week after that I had my first overdose. My habit reached about 1,000$ a day so from 16-18 I was writing bad prescriptions to feed my addiction. On June 15th 2005 I got a call from my mother telling me my father had passed, I was so high I just said cool and hung up the phone (something that makes me cry when I think about it to this day)
Fast forward to my 18th birthday when the feds and state police raided my house and I caught 62 felony counts related to script fraud.
This is when I really stared dealing to pay for legal bills and cause they seized my car etc. My hustle was to buy a few thousand blues (30mg oxys) in plantation,FL and bring up to Atlanta to get cheap coke and meth. It didn't take long until I got shot in a bad deal in the ATL over 30,000$. Instead of slowing down I doubled down now running up to Philly and NYC to get heroin to sell in FL. This whole time I was still addicted to speed balling but my habit was about 500$ a day. Then I had to go to prison so fast forward 18months. Met some connects that put me in with ppl I could never dreamed of meeting. Within a week of getting out I was making 2+3,000 a day selling but I was still smoking crack and shooting heroin so that money evaporated as soon as itSecondly unfortunately. Then I learned crack is something you want, heroin you need so I finally stopped smoking cocaine at around 22 years old. A few years later I stopped shooting up, although I snort heroin and opiates to this day. After all that I have 15,000 plus an IRA and shyt to show for a decade of destroying my life. Not worth it.
My point in writing this is three fold. The first is drug laws are classist not racist, my civil rights were taken away from me at 18 and I am I lifetime felon. So even white ppl (if poor) deal with disenfranchisement on many fronts.
Secondly for all of the damage I did to myself isn't even comparable to the damage the state has done to me by marking me with a permanent Scarlet letter.
The last thing is that blacks and whites have to come together to change these laws. On here everyone talks about how CACs don't know shyt, are bytches etc when more whites than you know have gone through similar situations and to write that off is writing off potential ally's.
To have the single most impactful thing in my life happen when I was 18 and to still be judged by it is the height of unfairness.
Last thing I wrote this to have a serious discourse on drug laws and how they've(if they've) effected other members on here and to head their stories and their opinions on how to stop this system.
Thank god I was able to stop the craziness but not everyone can, drug use doesn't define ppl its just a part of what they do.
My rant is over. Of anyone wants to ask me a specific question I'll be 100% honest. Didn't want to write a life story just a summary of my life and how drugs have played a big part in it.
P.S all the crimes I talked about were either adjudicated or the statute of limitations has passed.

This has to be a troll thread? Laws are not racist but classist?
