My mother and I spoke about it today. She'd read it...and remembered me telling her about it back then. It surprised her that I still remembered it that vividly. The experience haunted me. It was in many ways a turning point for me -- after that I was never able to look at recreational drug use the same way. And I realized I couldn't be a criminal defense attorney, or prosecutor...I cared too much. And it was just too wearing.
