Ted I come from the same backround. It was and still is normal to do drugs where I am from. Growing up that is all I knew, and yes when I was younger I did do a little myself. I am not making any excuses for what I did but when it is all around you and that's what you learn growing up you can not help it.  Now that I am older I want to make a difference but I can't because of my past. The only choice I have is to use CM's on the poly. Am I a bad person for that? Or am I a bad person because I grew up in a drug infested area and I fell for the peer presure when I was younger?  If your not from these area's you might not understand so it is easy to say what you want about Ted, but just remember for every person that makes it out of these area's 20 don't and out of those people that make it out, only a handful of them come back to try and do something to make a difference. Just remember that when your casting your jugement on Ted.

P.S. Yo Ted, what questions did they ask you on your interview and how did you respond? Is there anything you can tell me to get me ready for it? thanks bro. Good luck to you.
